The Veil

Devil's Isle Series, Book 1

De: Chloe Neill

Narrado por: Amy Landon

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. As more and more Sensitives fall prey to their magic and unleash their hunger on the city, Claire and Liam must work together to save New Orleans, or else the city will burn.

another 1 I like

loved the Chicagoans vampire books so no surprise Chloe Neill done it again with a great book and loved the voice actress.

good start to new series.

I really enjoyed this book. can't wait for Chloe to develop the characters, story, and world as the series continues! well done!

Didnt keep my attention

I love these types of stories but the story was all over the place. I also like a little bit of a love connection and it was very dull. The narrator was great though!

Not a bad concept

I enjoyed the concept of this story. the reader wasn't strong but didn't ruin it. It wasn't a revolutionary story like and it's predictable and the characters were plain. But the idea was fairly interesting and the message while not unique, still good. If you're looking for something mellow and fun, it's good for that.

I'd probably read the second book.

Excellent and Strangely believable

This first novel in the Devil’s Isle series does an amazing job introducing a world that is just different enough from the one we know to make the events completely plausible. It allows you to suspend your disbelief without effort.
I’m not sure the target audience, but I’d recommend it to now-adults who enjoyed fantasy and sci-fi novels (like Harry Potter) growing up.

<br />found a new author and narrator

great book if you want something to curl up with on a cold night then this is the book for you the narrator did a great job distinguishing characters and was enjoyable to listen to no sex scenes and no romance just because even though it was talked about it. have to see what lies in the next books. It gave you something to think about hoping the two main characters would get together great but overall

Good book but...

The book was good however the accent, or lack there of, was not. It is set in New Orleans told by a local but not a hint of local accent was to be heard.

The story just kinda plods along... and on and on

What did you like best about The Veil? What did you like least?

The point I just gave up and stopped listening...

What was most disappointing about Chloe Neill’s story?

Nothing in the story grabbed my attention... Just kinda weak....

What three words best describe Amy Landon’s voice?

variation quality constancy

Did The Veil inspire you to do anything?

To think twice about listening to anything else from this author.

The Story

The story is great. It took a bit for me to get into it. But once it took off it was wonderful

Hmmmmmm .....

What did you love best about The Veil?

I loved the story. As I listen to a lot of supernatural books, I found this one different in a good way.

What three words best describe Amy Landon’s voice?

I'm sorry Amy Landon but I don't think you were right for this book. If it wasn't for the great story I would have stopped listening because I was being put to sleep.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I would have but I needed to take a break for the narrator.
