Not a bad little story! Very short and to the point, but I liked that. I don't need excess extrapolation on feelings in my books. Keth would make a great protagonist in his own series. There are a few editing issues that could be worked out. Recommended.

Even though it's not usually a genre I read, I found this piece very fun! I loved the magic that was used, and how powerful it was even a good distance away. The romance itself wasn't too interesting to me, just cause I'm not a big fan of it, but the fantasy world was amazing. I completely didn't expect what happened on the other side of the veil, but it was a fun ride to figure out how our two lovers would fair against the unexpected danger.
This was a fun quick read, and with so much magic, fae creatures, and even a few blood-drinkers! I highly recommend it for folks wanting to get away from real life for a while. And this story is definitely the ticket. ;)

i really liked this book. It was a very short story that followed Talia, a princess of summerland who had escaped after being betrothed to her lover's brother, who found happiness in hurting others.
I really loved everything that happened. With it being so short i didn't expect to become so involved with the characters but i did. As bad things happened to them i found myself gasping and going oh no that can't happen.
I loved it, it was a really good short story that i will read over and over again :)

I have been following Lisa's writing since I met her on MySpace, where she posted weekly short stories on her blog and I'm a big fan. I have been rooting for her writing journey and I'm happy to say that a week (or so) after she published this story on Amazon, she received a three book contract for her Night trilogy and a novella. Congrats to her! So, on to the review of Across the Veil. I love Lisa's characters. They are so real and believable. And her blending of the real world with the fantasy world is effortless. The life and adventures of Princess Talia, aka Natalie Thurmont, are exciting and intriguing and I can only hope that Lisa will expand her story into a full novel someday. *fingers crossed*

I'm usually not a fan of short stories but Across the Veil left me wanting for more.
Lisa Kessler has managed to create characters that you can get attached to in a short period of time, which is definitely not easy. This book was a great short read and kept me involved and entertained from the beginning to the end.
I would've loved for it to be a novel/series as I know it's something I would read for sure! This is the kind of book that I'd re-read every time I'm looking for a short good story. The plot was good and it would've made an awesome full-fledged novel!
