The Veil by Chloe Neill
4.0
4 stars
I received an e-ARC copy of The Veil from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Claire Connelly lives in post paranormal war New Orleans. She runs an old antiques shop that now sells lots of stuff including food and MREs. Magic in any way, shape or form is banned being found in possession of magic (aka being magic)can land you in Devil's Isle, the containment zone that the government stuffed all the paranormals in after the war. Claire has a problem, she by accident discovered that she is sensitive to magic and is telekinetic. When she is attacked by two wraiths and her use of magic draws the attention of bounty hunter Liam Quinn. The two of them soon discover that they are in over their heads and that the veil may not be as stable as they thought.
So I was super excited to something new from Chloe Neill. I follow her Merit Series (Chicagoland Vampires) and I enjoy it. However my one quibble with series is how little actually gets done in each book and the swinging back and forth door of Merit and Ethan's relationship. So I was hoping for an absents of both those things in this book. And it seems to deliver.
I love the set up and I am super curious about the politics behind the paranormal invasion. I was also super happy to see all kinds of paranormal and that they are not all misunderstood good guys. So world building is very good and there are enough holes to spend exploring in the next book, like why exactly wraith's kill people and what the paranormals want with our world.
Claire's friends were good. The 3 of them seem to sandwich well and I like the dynamic. I will continue to like it as long as Tadji deals with the magic disliking and nobody goes off the deep end *coughmallorycough*. Gunnar is an awesome friend. He gets stuff done. I look forward to seeing more of him.
I find Liam interesting. Which as a reader I appreciated as much as hotness, and sometimes more. I love that their relationship is a maybe. And Gavin's advice at the end, awesome.
So I want to read the next book.
