The Veil by Chloe Neill

4.0

I started Chloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampire Series years ago and really enjoyed them a lot. However, like a lot of series, after it reached 5-6 books, I feel behind and now need to get caught up. So I was really excited to see she was releasing a new series so I would have the chance to once again stay on top of it if I liked it well enough - which I did.

Now I have to admit I loved Merit in the Chicagoland series. She was fiesty, snarky and many other things I love about a kick-butt heroine. Claire Connolly is no Merit, but that's ok, she doesn't have to be. Claire is a strong character in her own way. She is struggling to survive in a devastated New Orleans after the Veil split several years ago and divided the area between those with magic and those without.

I think one of the best things about this book is all of the side characters. I like Liam, but really want to learn more about his brother. I also thought a lot of great characters were introduced who reside in Devil's Isle. There was a lot of world building throughout the book, which is to be expected with an opening novel in a series, but there was plenty of action too. Overall, I can't wait to see where this world takes us.

On a personal note, another book featuring fairies which I didn't totally hate! Seems I am progressing.
