The Veil by Chloe Neill
3.0
The war is over, the veil which separates the worlds has been closed, but New Orleans remains under martial law. Paranormals have been forced into the Devil's Isle, an austere internment camp while bounty hunters hunt down any remaining magic users living outside.
Claire is a Sensitive. She is able to tap into the veil of magic and use it to move things. But she needs to be careful, too much magic will drive her insane and she will become a wraith that wanders the city hunting the innocent. Adding to her problems she has to hide her magic from the all-seeing authorities or she will find herself locked away in Devil's Isle.
After using her magic to help a young girl escape from attacking wraiths, she finds herself caught bang to rights by Liam, a bounty hunter. But rather than handing her over he not only helps her remove the evidence of her magic use, he introduces her to a guide who will help her control her magic.
Working as a team they set about uncovering the cause of the wraith attacks. What they discover could plunge New Orleans back into another brutal war. It's up to them to foil a conspiracy to bring down the veil and return the country to supernatural war.
To be honest I think RachelW summed it up when she said it was 'a good start' but 'bland in places'. I enjoyed the book but it never really grabbed me by the throat, shook me and said "you must read me".
It's probably a little more noticeable because the book I started as soon as I finished this one, [b:From Russia With Claws|25610661|From Russia With Claws|Jacey Conrad|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1435845081s/25610661.jpg|45421616] had me by the throat almost from the beginning and it doesn't seem interested in letting go.
So, The Veil is a promising start and hopefully things take off in the next book.
