Veiled

De: Karina Halle

Narrado por: Jo Raylan

Death. It's something that Ada Palomino has always known so well, having grown up in a house of horrors, surrounded by a family plagued by ghosts and demons and things that go bump in the night. But after the sudden and tragic death of her mother two years ago, death has never felt so personal. Or so close.

Now 18, Ada is trying to move on with her life, and the last month of summer holds nothing but sunshine and promises, with her first year at a Portland design school just around the bend. That is, until her increasingly violent and realistic dreams, dreams of other worlds, of portals and veils where her mother is tortured and souls bleed for mercy, start to blend into reality. Ada has to lean on her older sister, Perry, to try and make sense of it all, but even then, she's never felt more alone.

Then there's Jay. Tall, handsome, and deeply mysterious, Jay would be just another stranger, a familiar face on the bus, if it wasn't for the fact that Ada has met him before.

Every night. In every single dream. And the more that Ada is drawn to him in both worlds, the more she's in danger of losing everything - including her heart, and her very soul.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Nobody writes this genre as well as Karina Halle. In Veiled you have horror, romance, and humor, all mixed into a tale that will keep you reading, hiding beneath your covers, [and] giggling even as you tremble and quake." (Amy Harmon, New York Times best-selling author)

Exceptionally Written

I absolutely loved this book grabs you holds you, you don't want to put it down, my first from this author and definitely won't be my last narration was perfect and really brought this story alive!!

Super spooky!!!!

I liked this one a lot. It has a great storyline and wonderful characters. I was a little torn on the narrator though. Her performance is good, she has a very wide range. My only complaint is that her voice is very mature for an 18 yr old. I wish the narrator was a little more playful and bubbly like the character but overall it wasn’t bad.

character development and story

it wasnt long enough. I wanted more. I hope there's a sequel. otherwise great story.

Ada

Of you enjoyed the Experiment in Terror series, then you'll enjoy reading about Ada all grown up. Ada is like Perry in so many ways, although she is still young she does mature a lot throughout this story. I also enjoyed the narrative.

I want moooore!

This book is short but sooo good and I wish there were more. There's a world there I want to just dive into

Fantastic!!!

Loved this one especially!!❤️❤️ I enjoy this series but so far this is my favorite! Thank you!

Wow. Wow. Wow!!!!

Oh wow. This story was really good from start to finish. I absolutely enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I’m sad that it’s a standalone. But it’s ok, it’s still a really good story!!

Okay but...

This book was left with many unanswered questions. This is a stand alone book so I can not say maybe the answers are in the next book. Maybe if the author expands this book into a series and answers questions then it could work. As it is many things were introduced but never explained nor had a big impact on the book because it lacked content and any other mention.

I gave overall four stars which I feel is a bit generous, considering the many loose ends.

Performance, I absolutely loved! The narrator has many distinct voice for the characters. I always knew who was talking. I didn't give five stars because even though a great performance the sound was so low I would have to turn it up. Then she would go to normal sound that was much louder. I found myself needing to rewind so I could hear putting my phone to my ear to understand.

The story I gave three stars because the book was okay. There was some parts that were a slow lead up making me wonder what is even happening. When the events finally came to light they were lacking. Not all of the time but most of the time. Big events in the books when introduced seemed to fall flat. There was a large disconnect for me.

I like this authors other books. At least the ones I have read or listened to. I wouldn't give up on the author because she can write. I wouldn't give up the narrator but I do think editing should make the voices more phonetically balanced.

Another great story!

I love the paranormal suspense and romance mixed in this. Karina Halle never disappoints! She keeps you interested and wondering what's going to happen!

Different but very good

I’ve had this book in my library for some time now and decided to give it a listen. I finished it in a day. Very good read and I’m looking forward to the next book.
