Veiled

Veiled Series, Book 1

De: S B Niccum

Narrado por: Andrea Emmes

"I have always existed, not just me but all of us, the unembodied spirits who wait to live."

Tess is an unborn spirit who is about to embark on a much-awaited journey into mortality, to a brand-new planet called Earth. She is chosen by the Eternals for an important mission and is put under a rigorous training by a half-human, half-lion seraph. This training exposes Tess to some of her darkest fears and insecurities. These experiences force Tess to work on her gift as a discerner of thoughts and reader of auras, thus helping her become one of heaven's most powerful angels.

But even angels falter, and deep inside her a gnawing fear is growing. Will she meet her soul mate in life? Will their love be strong enough to overcome the forgetting effects of the Veil? And is she prepared to take on the responsibility of keeping the most dangerous renegade and leader of the Fallen Angels at bay during mortality?

Our Souls eternal

Who was your favorite character and why?

Which character – as performed by Andrea Emmes – was your favorite?

she actually did the voices very well for all the characters. I was very able to distinguish who was talking by the voice or accents

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

the whole book did. It was very well thought out and really tied into my own beliefs and even took them a step further

I truly cannot wait for the next of the series I do believe it will be the life on earth part of the soul...

A Great Rendition!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Clean, fun read with lots of interesting new thoughts.

What other book might you compare Veiled to and why?

Veiled is a very unique Speculative Christian Fiction, much like The Chronicles of Narnia but mixed with a bit of The Ghost Whisperer.

What does Andrea Emmes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Andrea Emmes has brought this story to life in a very unique way. She has woken up the charters and given them a new dimension of life.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There is a point in the story where I forgot the world around me and was sucked into the story so much that I refused to take my head phones off to do grocery shopping.

Any additional comments?

A great story told expertly!

Amazing narration but boring story.

Unfortunately this story wasn't for me. I found it quite boring and dull. I had to put it aside for a while and go back to it to see is I liked it any better, but it didn't. I struggled to finish. Even though I didn't like it, the narration was amazing! Andrea Emmes never fails to deliver.She has such an easy going voice and it's easy to listen to. She always gives it her all and it shows.

*I received a copy of this for review, this in no way affects my thoughts.*

Interesting story. Loved the narration.

Many characters. they were narrated very well. it was an interesting story. Enjoyable.

Before and In the Beginning

Veiled is a story of Tess who is an unborn spirit. Through the story, it begins with the voting of the Chosen and the Second. Readers/Listeners will know that the Chosen is Christ and the Second is Lucifer. Each unborn spirit create a clan to which they belong to.

As the story progress, Tess is discovering herself with her clan and also with another unborn spirit, Alex. Her clan does encountered in resisting the pull of the Second and those that followed him. Tess also witness the creation of Earth and the spirits that go into the Veil to be born and live their lives on Earth.

Veiled is an unique story of explaining the existence of angels and the divided choice of choosing whom to follow. Readers/Listeners will be able to recognize the Christianity with the implied existence of angels before Earth was created. It is a very interesting view of fiction mixing theology in the Veiled Series.

I am interested in reading about Tess and Alex when they entered into the Veil to be born on Earth and then later reborn as Angels. Readers/Listeners who have an interest in theology will enjoy reading/listening to this story.

The narrator Andrea Emmes does a wonderful job of narrating the story. The narrator gives Eternal, a synchronized voices to sound as one. For this series, I do hope she does come back as the narrator.

I was given this audiobook by the author/narrator/publisher via Audiobook Blast in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated or influenced in any way for writing this review.

Heaven sent

Who knows - could be! A sweet imaginary view of the "Before life". Is it destiny, fate or our lives being prompted by our guardian angels?

The narration was Ok until she tried accents. First of all, why would heavenly spirits, never born, have different nationalities? Mostly, the narrator failed to achieve any likeness to the accents she attempted.

I did enjoy the book and would like to follow the FRIENDS now that they have been born. To see their human stories as they unwittingly search for each other in this life.

What did you love best about Veiled?

The author presents a great story, something to contemplate while you are reading and listening and long after. This book left me thinking about what I know and what I may have forgotten. There is love, suspense, laughter, and tears; what more could a a girl want. The narration is great too.

DULL FIRST HALF-EXCITING & TOUCHING SECOND HALF!

Would you consider the audio edition of Veiled to be better than the print version?

AUDIO IS ALWAYS BETTER, ESPECIALLY WITH AN AWESOME NARRATOR LIKE ANDREA!!!

What did you like best about this story?

I liked learning how hard it was to be a guardian angel...there job is not easy! I also liked learning how spirits came to be, how they start off new and learn a bunch of lessons before becoming people!

Which scene was your favorite?

I think I liked the whole Valerie part the best, how she chose to come to earth and be troubled with mental illness...how Alex and Tess helped her, and how she met Dane and got her happily ever after!

The whole 2nd half of this book is so touching...I got choked up several times!

Any additional comments?

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

I will admit, I was bored in the first half of this book...nothing really grabbed me till I was a little over 50% done...and If Andrea wouldn't have been the narrator, I may have put it down and not finished it, but I am glad I hung in there...because the second half was really great! I loved how it told the story of all these little spirit friends. and how there lives intermingled even when they came to earth as new babies...and how they were such loving and caring guardian angels to each other...and how we really do have soul mates...that spirits know who they are meant to be with....I do believe this...I also like how they got to kind of choose the path they wanted to walk down, but had to let free will and destiny guide them...I liked the second half so much, I cant wait for book two now!

Andrea did an excellent job with her narration of this book...it was a perfect performance!
