Ilustration As Books The Veil (Devil's Isle #1)
Seven years ago, the Veil that separates humanity from what lies beyond was torn apart, and New Orleans was engulfed in a supernatural war. Now, those with paranormal powers have been confined in a walled community that humans call the District. Those who live there call it Devil's Isle. Claire Connolly is a good girl with a dangerous secret: she’s a Sensitive, a human endowed with magic that seeped through the Veil. Claire knows that revealing her skills would mean being confined to Devil’s Isle. Unfortunately, hiding her power has left her untrained and unfocused. Liam Quinn knows from experience that magic makes monsters of the weak, and he has no time for a Sensitive with no control of her own strength. But when he sees Claire using her powers to save a human under attack—in full view of the French Quarter—Liam decides to bring her to Devil’s Isle and the teacher she needs, even though getting her out of his way isn’t the same as keeping her out of his head. But when the Veil threatens to shatter completely, Claire and Liam must work together to stop it, or else New Orleans will burn…

The Veil is the first installment in Chloe Neill's urban fantasy series titled: Devil's Isle. This was a promising first book to a series that will surely grow in popularity. Overall, I liked it. The premise was complicated enough to keep me thinking, the characters were interesting enough to keep me reading, and for the most part, the story was pretty fast paced. Although, I liked it, I didn't love it and I'm sad to have to admit that. There was a portion of this story that had me zoning out a*ARC provided by publisher in exchange for an honest review*Ah. Well.....I was so honored to receive this from the publisher since I am SUCH A HUGE FAN of Neill's Chicagoland Vampires series. There isn't one book in that series that I haven't devoured, destroyed, annihilated-you name it-because I just HAVE to see what happens next with my beloved Ethan and Merit. But where I instantly lusted for Ethan's quirked eyebrow (literally-the minute we met him it was insta-lust for me) and Merit's badass
3.5 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum http://bibliosanctum.com/2015/08/03/b...Total newcomer to Chloe Neill here, so I had no idea what to expect when I started the first installment of her new Devils Isle series. Being peripherally aware of her Chicagoland Vampires books though, I knew enough to prepare myself for a fun urban fantasy story, and I was right. Leaving aside a shaky start and a couple rough edges, The Veil is a pretty solid introduction to a brand new post-apocalyptic world featuring
Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: A bit slow to start but overall it was an entertaining read.Opening Sentence: The French Quarter was thinking about war again.The Review:The Veil is the newest title by Chloe Neill. It is set in a world where a dimensional tear brought magic and paranormal creatures through a veil into our world. The Veil is a great start to a new and different urban fantasy world. I am looking forward to all the things this world could bring in the coming
3.5 starsIt was much better than I thought it would be, but I admittedly went into it with low expectations. After becoming disillusioned with the Chicagoland Vampires series, I was hesitant to read this. This series is nothing like that one, which is a good thing. It's not as fun and has less dynamic characters, but this is truly for adults. CLV was labeled as an adult read but read like YA.The veil separated the fae and human worlds. The fae broke through 7 years earlier and attacked humans.
Fafa's Book Corner (Wordpress) Fafa's Book Corner (Blogger) Beware spoilers ahead!When I first heard about this book I wasn't excited. I was kind of bitter of the fact that The Dark Elites (the author's other series) didn't have a fourth book. At some point I decided to stop being better and try this. I remembered how much I enjoyed The Dark Elites. I am happy to say that I was not disappointed!This book is written in first person. Focusing on Claire's point of view. It takes place New Orleans
