Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Beyond the Veil (The Veil, #1) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
I have developed a bit of a recent obsession with Pippa DaCosta books but this one has been on my Kindle for quite a while now, longer than the other two books I've read recently. So here goes:
We meet Charlie Henderson, half demon half human who has an affinity for metal and reading its history. When assassin Stefan walks into her blacksmith shop asking her to read a weapon of his it sets in motion a little mystery for us readers as we try to figure out who's trying to kill Charlie and what Stefan wants with her.
It was all very intriguing as Charlie tried to figure out who to trust and as the story unravelled I was rather caught up in it. I was cheering Charlie on as she finally started to believe in her own strength and lets not forget the romance that began to spark between Charlie and Stefan.
After that ending, I am definitely going straight into book two.

This made me laugh, this made me cry.
I loved finding out the details of what happened that night. How mistaken identity ruined so many lives that night but how strangely it all worked itself out in the end. How meeting that certain girl again made him realise how far he'd fallen and how he tried his best to make himself worthy again.
I feel like I have to give Lucas's mum a mention. She is CRAZY! Every time she's mentioned, she's either saying something about Grandbabies or shouting some sort of sex related word. It was hilarious at times, especially when she was talking about Connect Four.
I also loved how there was an audiobook free in my Kindle Unlimited download of this, my only issue with that is that they spoke slower than I was reading it myself, so I only listened when in the bath but it was still good.

Another book that's been on my kindle since 2013.
Um...i don't know how to put my feelings into words about this one. The beginning bit was hard to read. I think this is the first book where domestic abuse has been described and happened in detail for me and I didn't enjoy reading it. Mia had such a shitty life at the start.
I liked Jordan a lot. He's the kind of guy I like my girls to get with in romances. Looks like a bad arse but is really a great guy once you get to know him.
Another thing I liked was that it wasn't set in a school/college environment like most other new adult books but at the same time, I kinda missed that element of football games, meeting after classes, sorority/fraternity parties... Yeah, I'm hard to please where NA books are concerned simply because I've read so many.
P.S. I love Dozer!

DNF @ 25%. Maybe that was a little soon to DNF, but I'd been struggling with it for the last 15% or so.
I liked the beginning, how she went after the demons and just being within metres of her makes them combust. And Emrys' introduction was kinda fun.
I think it was just everything else. We didn't seem to get much information on anything else though, or I was having that much trouble with the style and plot that it just didn't register, and I just lost interest.
I found Jordyn quite annoying/immature and Emrys wasn't really in it that much for me to get an opinion on him...
Admittedly it was a freebie and had been on my kindle for a long time...and I only really tried to read it now as part of an a-z challenge in one of my groups.
It just wasn't really up my alley at all.

Accacias Blood ( Sisters of Hex book 2)
By Bea Paige
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
After saving Rhain from an agonising death, Accacia is determined to find her missing friend Clover and rescue her from the mysterious Fae. With the assistance of her vampire knights, the group head into the forbidden forest of Ever Vale and into a world of mystery and magic.Drawn deeper into the depths of the wood, Accacia learns what it is to have courage, to fight for the ones you love and to know when to let them go.
It’s an easy read and an easy to follow story. I did prefer the 1st book to this one I’m hoping they pick up a little. I’m glad we finally get Ezra to stop being all moody and self involved. Devin had to be my favourite and he’s just gone dark so the next book should be better for me.

Black lion’s Bride ( Warrior trilogy book 2)
By Lara Adrian
As deadly as she is beautiful, Zahirah, daughter of the King of the Assassins, steals into the camp of the English army. She intends to murder King Richard, but her plan only delivers her into the hands of the enemy and puts her at the mercy of the dashing Black Lion, Sebastian of Montborne. Seeing only a mysterious beauty in need of his protection, Sebastian is unaware that Zahirah is the enemy he has sworn to destroy. Caught in a web of passion and deception, they now risk their lives to share a forbidden love.
I’m a sucker for historical romances and loved the first book in this series. I also enjoyed this one although I did find it a bit harder to fall into Sebastian is amazing it took me a little longer to like Zahirah! Overall it was a good read and would recommend
