Rendition During 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…

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.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
The wondrous imagination of Chloe Neill strikes again in this exciting new series, Devil's Isle. After reading The Veil, I am convinced Ms. Neill will have the same success she's seen with The Chicagoland Vampire series.Neill takes us to a modern day dystopian New Orleans. It is a hot spot for the Veil that was constructed to protect man kind from the fey and magic. When the Veil initially went up a lot of magical beings where trapped on earth side. Magic is forbidden, Devil's Isle was built as
DNF @ 65%This is exactly how a book written by me would be: a great idea but awfully written.The world was really interesting and it had a lot of potential, but I just don't have the patience for it. The characters were flat and annoying most of the times and the plot was really slow, it took ages for something to actually happen and when it did, well, that was boring too. There was nothing here to make me want to read any further.I dunno why I even bothered reading so much of it, guess I kept

The Veil isnt the first book by Chloe Neill Ive read, but it sort of feels like it is. Its been years since I read Some Girls Bite, and its quite different than this one. I had a really good feeling about The Veil, and Im happy to say my instincts were correct.I thoroughly enjoyed The Veil and found it completely engaging. There are a few elements that are similar to other books Ive read, but it still manages to feel unique and totally captivating.I love the New Orleans setting, its actually a
Reviewed by: Rabid Reads.Im usually one of the first in line whenever a new Urban Fantasy series is announced, and if its by an author I love, better make that front-and-center. So, THE VEIL + Chloe Neill = Im there. Ive read ALL eleven CHICAGOLAND VAMPIRES installments, and as much as I love Merit & co., I was excited to break bread with the inhabitants of DEVILS ISLE. I liked the Dystopian elements, and NOLA is a rock solid setting for any Paranormal title, but the characters, and story
