The mind-blowing action from Elusion about the seductive nature of a perfect virtual world continues as Regan goes deeper into the deceptive world. Full of mystery, romance, and intriguing technology, this Inception-inspired thriller is perfect for fans of dystopian and sci-fi novels such as Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, Matched by Ally Condie, and Partials by Dan Wells.
Regan and her friend Josh now know the truth about Elusion—but they, along with Regan’s dad and other users of Elusion, are stuck beyond the firewall in bleak Etherworld. They must fight Elusion from within, but the longer they stay, the less likely they’ll be able to return to the real world. And even if they do escape, the next battle to stop Elusion may be even more difficult. They’ll face corporate cover-ups, personal betrayals, and the terrifying realization that the danger may have grown beyond anyone’s control.

Review Heart-pounding adventures and heart-throbbing romance. (ALA Booklist)The action between virtual world and real world is well plotted, and the futuristic setting is interesting. (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA))
From the Back Cover
Elusion® was hailed as an exciting leap in technology—a confectionary, euphoric virtual world of crystal beaches and orange skies—until users began to disappear amid rumors of addiction. At first, Regan Welch refused to believe her father's invention could be harmful, but her search for the truth led her and her new boyfriend, Josh, to Etherworld, another dimension located behind the program's firewall, where more shocking secrets about Elusion are finally exposed.
Etherworld may be dark and bleak, but to Regan's surprise, it's actually a refuge. Her father and others are here for protection from the enticing stimuli of Elusion, but the longer they stay, the less likely they'll be able to return to the real world. In order to escape they must attack Elusion from within the program, but even if they succeed, Regan and her friends will have to prevent the powerful company that developed Elusion from distributing it to the masses. Regan can only hope that they'll be able to stop the company before it's too late, but the danger may have grown beyond anyone's control.
This enthralling sequel to Elusion is a fast-paced thriller with romance, action, and worlds layered with deception.

Review for Elusion by Claudia Gabel and Cheryl Klam By Alyssa ***Review posted on The Eater of Books! blog***Etherworld by Claudia Gabel and Cheryl KlamBook Two of the Elusion seriesPublisher: Katherine Tegen BooksPublication Date: March 31, 2015Rating: 4 starsSource: ARC sent by the publisherSummary (from Goodreads):In this sequel to Elusion, three teens fight a virtual reality program that threatens to destroy their minds. Dangerous secrets and lies add up to a thrilling futuristic fantasy with an Inception-inspired twist.Elusion was hailed as an exciting leap in technology—until users began to disappear amid rumors of addiction. Regan’s search for the truth led her and her new love interest, Josh, to Etherworld. Etherworld is a dimension hidden deep beyond Elusion's firewall, where players can hide, and ultimately fight back. Regan's father and others are here working to destroy Etherworld, but the longer they stay the less likely they'll be able to return to the real world alive.Escape means attacking Elusion from within the program. It's dangerous and it’s a puzzle. And even if they manage it, how will they be able to stop Orexis from distributing Elusion to the masses when the people who run it are corrupt?What I Liked:I really enjoyed this book! This duology was pretty amazing, if I may say so myself. I'm a huge fan of science fiction, high stakes, simple romance - and gorgeous book covers! So you could say that I personally hit the jackpot with this series. Also, I've met Cheryl Klam in September 2014 (she gave me a gorgeous signed ARC of this book!), and she's amazing! I have no doubt that Claudia is just as wonderful and kind. Anyway. On to the review!Etherworld picks up where Elusion left off. Regan, Josh, Regan's father, and a group of teenagers are stuck in Etherworld, a type of safe place within Elusion in which users (of the Elusion app) can hide. Regan's father is currently in Etherworld and leads Regan and Josh there. With the group of teenagers (including Josh's sister Nora), Regan, Josh, and Regan's father try to take down Etherworld - and Elusion.But Etherworld is not so easy to destroy, and neither is Elusion. Regan is pulled from Etherworld when Patrick drags her out and wakes her up. Thinking she has nanopsychosis, he takes her to the hospital against her will. Regan will stop at nothing to get her father, Josh, and other users out of Etherworld, and destroy Elusion for good. But there are greater factors, more powerful players at work. Lives are at stakes in a virtual world that has its claws deeply entrenched in a futuristic society.What a fascinating concept, virtual reality. Be sure to check out my "Science in Fiction" post for Etherworld - I discussed the pros and cons of virtual reality. In Elusion/Etherworld, the virtual world of Elusion is a tempting and scary one. It is paradise, because you can go to this magical wonderful place and seem and feel so happy. But people get addicted to the world, and there are serious health effects to using the app for a long time. The app wasn't meant to be used all the time, often, for long periods of time.Just like in Elusion, Etherworld moved rapidly. The beginning is a bit slow, but probably to me, because I didn't remember some specific things that happened in Elusion, so I had to drag through the beginning of this book, and things started returning. The authors did a great job of recapping events briefly and sporadically, so that feeble brains (such as my own) don't get confused. I appreciated that!I really liked the characters in this book/series. Regan is a likable heroine, and it's easy to root for her. She's stuck in some difficult situations in this book, and I wanted to shake her for not trying harder to get out of the hospital (I mean, she definitely worked hard to get out, but from the start, not really). She's so loyal to her friends and family, and this is both a good thing and sometimes, a bad thing. She trusted Patrick with the information she found in Etherworld, and he turned around and took her to the hospital. So, loyal and trusting is a good and bad thing.Josh is sweet and protective as always. Regan's father is overworked and stress as usual, but it scares Regan. When Regan comes back to the real world, she also starts looking for her father's body. Someone (Patrick's mother) is keeping her father alive, and trapped in Elusion (Etherworld, really).I always felt bad for Patrick, and I disliked him a bit in the first half of this book, but by the end of this book, I liked him. He's a product of loyalty and trust towards his family (like Regan), but unfortunately for him, his family was on the wrong side of things. Patrick grows significantly in this book, and makes his own decisions and stands for them.The romance is so sweet and lovely! No love triangle, as I mentioned in my review of Elusion. Josh and Regan have a tender relationship, but sparks definitely fly in this book. I kind of wanted more from the romance in this book, but at the same time, I liked the simplicity.The end... the end of another series. I liked the end of this book a lot. It was a little bit cookie-cutter perfect, but I'd rather that than an everyone-dies-and-the-romance-is-ruined type of ending!What I Did Not Like:I mentioned that I wanted more from the romance in this book! Not a huge deal, and definitely not a major dislike or anything, but I thought the story could benefit just a smidgen more from more scenes with just Regan and Josh. I feel like there was more romance in Elusion, which is fine, but I guess since they're officially together at the end of Elusion, there would be more romance in this book. But that's okay.Would I Recommend It:I really liked this book - and series! And it's a duology (versus trilogy or something more), so that's pretty nice, in terms of waiting. I love science fiction, and the concept of virtual reality is definitely a hotly debated one. It's nice to see authors bring these controversial scientific topics to Young Adult literature, in my opinion. Anyway. Yes, I would recommend this book. Series.Rating:4 stars. A wonderful conclusion to a thrilling and thought-provoking science fiction series! I'm so glad I read this series. And hey, an added benefit is the BEAUTIFUL covers!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Loved! By Natalie @ BookLoversLife This is book 2 and the concluding book in this duology! I loved book one, Elusion, and couldn't wait for Etherworld to come out. It doesn't disappoint either because, dare I say it, it was even better than book 1. There was a little less romance but a lot more action!When we left book 1, Regan was trapped in Etherworld with Josh, her dad and a host of other teens. This sees Regan trying to escape the Etherworld and find and save her dad. though will anyone believe her is she does get free? Just how is she to bring down Elusion and Orexis?Once again, Regan is awesome. She is so brave and selfless. She will do anything to right the wrong of Elusion, no matter the threat to her. I loved her even more in this one because she is stronger ans surer of herself.Josh is the same as last time. He is a constant in Regans life and is her rock. I loved their relationship and friendship.Patrick is torn between his mother and Regan. He knows everything there is to know about Elusion, but when he learns just how bad things are, he is devastated. He really struggles in this one with what to believe but I loved that when he finds out the truth, he immediately sets out to right the wrong.Plot wise, even with Elusion, I struggled with the plot a bit. It's such an intricate idea, Elusion, and all the codes, and technical things went a little over my head, but saying that, I didn't once get lost! I knew exactly what was happening and loved every minute.The writing and attention to detail was phenomenal. The authors wrapped up every little thing perfectly and I was well satisfied with the ending! I'm so glad Patrick got the ending he did as well!!Overall this was an amazing ending to an even better duology. It's an extremely fast paced and thrilling read. It is packed with secrets, deception, thrills and enough tense moments to keep you flying through the pages. I loved everything about it and would highly recommend it!
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This sequel was a lot of fun and fans of book one will enjoy it immensely. By Dark Faerie Tales Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales (http://darkfaerietales.com/)Quick & Dirty: This sequel was a lot of fun and fans of book one will enjoy it immensely.Opening Sentence: Local police are working on a solid lead in the case of three teens missing since mid-March: Claire Wilberstein, 19, a freshman at UCLA; Piper Lewis, 15, of Willshire; and Wyatt Krissoff, 17, of Inglewood.The Review:Warning! Elusion spoilers!The program that her father created, Elusion, was supposed to create a beautiful escape to a world of nature and wonder that doesn’t exist in a world that has been taken by pollution. Elusion’s imaginative fun is certainly more preferable to the acid rain and unsanitary air that now rules earth. But it’s dangerous, causing addiction and messing with chemicals in people’s body, and Regan needs to tell the world — except she’s stuck in it. She found that her father, supposedly dead, was alive in Elusion and being held captive by his company partners. Along with him and the various kids who grew addicted and found the entrance to the Etherworld where he hides, Regan and Josh must destroy Elusion before it is spread to the world. And the longer they stay in it, the less likely that they’ll be alive when they leave.Less than a couple years back, I read Elusion. I had just started reviewing and was super excited to get a chance to open up such a colorful, exciting novel. I ended up really enjoying the first and was interested in seeing what I thought of the second when I received it for review. I was impressed by certain twists that were added and less than impressed by others, and in the end I felt that it was a short, fun sequel. One thing that stayed pretty constant, by the way — those incredible covers! Look at the colors and the gorgeous backdrops! These books would be beautiful on my shelves if I hadn’t gotten e-copies.This book eliminated the love triangle, which I appreciated. I hate a character who isn’t decisive. Regan, our main character, evolves her relationship with Josh as they undergo a series of dangers and trials. Their commitment to each other was admirable and I liked how they could grow through the challenges that their romance was facing, rather than letting them mess with it. The character Patrick whom was friend-zoned last book develops strongly. At the end of Elusion to the end of Etherworld he becomes a completely different character. It was tough, watching as he was forced to choose between his family and his commitment to the safety of Elusion users as well as Regan.The book really jumped into action from the beginning, but even the start seemed slow in comparison to the explosive last half. It started where Elusion left off, but instead of Regan’s “find dad” goal, she was now trying to escape Elusion to notify the public. The book is more focused on the action and danger aspect than the relationships but there was still strong, diverse characters that had different layers. The book really took science fiction to the next level with a curveball that I did not see coming, one that added another spark of originality that I adored. It was quite the twist. It makes me wonder if adding that had been the author’s intentions from the beginning, because I never would have guessed that they’d take it that way, though I really appreciated it when they did.Altogether, I did really enjoy this sequel to Elusion. It had been so long since I’d read book one that I had forgotten some of what happened, and there could have been more of a recap. Nevertheless, I caught on soon enough and enjoyed myself. I thought it had some elements I really enjoyed that made it better than book one, but for some reason I wasn’t as connected to the characters (hence the lower rating). I would definitely recommend it to others, though: the constant action, shifting alliances, and sudden twists make it a read well worth your time. Plus, who wouldn’t want that gorgeous cover being displayed on your shelf?Notable Scene:“And we will win. We will beat Elusion.”This is the uplifting speech I was hoping for earlier, but I can’t take comfort in what he’s saying. I guess I know too much.“And if we can’t?” Wyatt asks, gazing at my dad with the same pleading eyes I used to use as a kid.My dad pats him on the back and forces a confident smile. Exactly like he did with me.“Just do your best,” he says. “That’s all any of us can do.”Josh finally lifts his head and we share a look, each knowing what the other is thinking.Our best may not be enough to save us.FTC Advisory: Katherine Tegen Books/HarperTeen provided me with a copy of Etherworld. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
