I feel like Levitating Las Vegas had potential. It just went another direction than expected. There where some good chapters throughout that got me hooked. They are what pushed me through to the end with some hope of liking this book. Holli was absolutely annoying. The more I read the more I disliked her.. She was conceited and self absorbed. The chapters were like a roller coaster. One chapter your thinking wow this is a good book and the next your like, will this ever end? There was a point toward the late middle of the book where I just thought, I'm not worried about finishing it. But I pushed through.There were great qualities . I really liked shanes character. I loved the INS and outs if the casino and Las Vegas. I like how the author had the good guys and the bad guys but you weren't sure til toward the end which was which. What I didn't understand was why? Why where these two groups against each other, aside from wanting to use their powers and not. My rant is over. I really love this author. I've enjoyed several of her other books but we can't expect to like them all. I loved the premise of this book. What if you're told from an early age that you're mentally ill? That the only way to exist in the "normal" world is religiously take your medication and to comply with everything your parents say - including who you should (and shouldn't) be with? What happens when you wake up one day and find that someone has discontinued your medication and all the things that got you labeled as mentally ill in the first place (hearing voices, seeing levitating objects)start happening all over again? Twenty-one-year-old showgirl Holly Starr is sick and tired of assisting her dad, a celebrity magician, in his Las Vegas casino magic show. As soon as he keeps his promise to her and shares the secrets to his tricks, she can break out on her own. But can she really make it? For years Holly has taken medication to stave off crazy hallucinations that she can levitate objects. Just when she thinks she’s ready to make a career and a life for herself, her medicine—and her luck—run out.Elijah Brown suffers from a similar delusion—he thinks he can read minds—and he’s out of medicine too. Determined to save himself and his old flame Holly, he kidnaps her and takes her to a town high in the Rockies where their medicine is made. What they discover there leads them to suspect their powers are not imaginary after all...and neither is the intense attraction they feel for each other.They make a pact to stick together as they return to Vegas to confront the people who kept them in the dark for so long. But soon they’re pitting their powers against each other in a dangerous world where the nightlife is seductive, domination is addictive, the sex is beyond belief...and falling in love can lead to murder.
