The Ways We Hide by Kristina McMorris

Fenna Vos was fascinated by magic and illusionists like the great Harry Houdini early on. Her dreams of becoming a master illusionist were almost a reality since she is working in a magic act but as the assistant instead of the illusionist. It doesn't matter that it is her tricks and her insight that makes it work for her partner to shine. As a twist of fate she is approached to help the British Intelligence Agency and flies to Europe and help them outsmart the Nazi's helping captured soldiers escape. Once there she crosses paths with the love of her life and childhood friend whom she pushed away years before but who now may be involved in a deadly spy game. She puts herself in the middle of occupied territory to find Arie and bring him in. If she succeeds it will be her greatest illusion yet. Riveting historical fiction spotlighting the female role in WWII spying with the refreshing angle of magic and illusion. I would have loved to heard more about the ways they pulled the wool over German eyes in getting information and supplies to the prisoners.  4 stars
