FROM EXCITING AUTHOR OF YA FICTION ANN M. MILLER The sequel to Captured in Paint When art and illusion collide, no one is safe. Eight months ago, Julia Parsons learned to control her strongest emotions—the ones that created doorways into paintings. With her Vista magic now in check, she has stopped looking for the descendant of the witch rumoured to have the power to remove her abilities. But when her magic goes haywire and paintings begin calling to her, she can barely resist opening portals into any works of art she encounters. Then Julia runs into Luke Mercer, who offers to help her find the descendant, a teen named Marisa. When Julia's boyfriend Nick joins the search, they locate the girl—in an art gallery, of all places. Before Julia can ask Marisa to remove her magic, the call of so many paintings overwhelms her, and she opens multiple portals at once. Marisa is sucked into one, and Julia and the boys are forced to enter works of art to get her back. As Julia's connection to the art intensifies, so does the danger lurking in the deep corners of the paintings they move through. In order to save Marisa and her friends, Julia will have to separate reality from illusion...and fully embrace the magic that runs through her veins, once and for all.

Illusions in Paint

Paintings can stir emotions, but for Julia, emotions bring paintings to life...literally. Ice Princess. That's what the kids at St Peter's High call seventeen-year-old Julia Parsons, the girl who doesn't show emotion. But that all changes when Julia loses the protection of her late mother's charmed necklace, and the emotions that have been locked deep inside her are unleashed. Now, after years of priding herself on being calm, cool and collected, Julia is forced to accept two life-altering revelations-she can feel just as deeply as any other teen and her emotions can make paintings come alive. As Julia struggles to control her ability, she discovers that her boyfriend, Nick, is trapped inside a mural that she herself created. She enters the wintry world to save him before it's painted over but quickly realises that a mysterious force is keeping Nick tethered to the work of art. Unless Julia can learn how to harness the power of her new and unfamiliar emotions, they won't make it out of the painting alive.
