Highlander<\/em> meets Twilight <\/em>with a dash of Fifty Shades of Grey<\/em> in this vampire romantasy\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caelin MacGregor is an ancient king with a new love<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ages ago, I ruled a clan of vampire raiders. We were allies to the Vikings and enemies of the Rus. That life ended when the bloodkin plague wiped out all our women, including my beloved vampire bride, Elisava. A thousand years have passed. My heart remains empty. Then I see a human woman named Lexa. For the first time in ages, I feel true desire, respect and love. Could Lexa actually be a lost bloodkin lady \u2026 or is she a horrible trick from Pyri, the ancient fire goddess of the Rus raiders?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lexa Uznetsov has a plan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To save my sister, Sash, I took on my father\u2019s debt to Konstantin the Rus, leader of the New York Bratva. As a result, my life became a never-ending (and incredibly illegal) stakeout for the mob. After years of scheming, I\u2019ve finally come up with a solid escape plan: find all three pieces of the infamous Veil Pendant. Once I reassemble this magical item, I\u2019ll have the power to cure my sister \u2026 as well as the ability to say buh-bye to Konstantin. Sure, legends warn that reforming the Veil Pendant may bring about some nastiness called Pyri\u2019s doomsday. Yet if it saves Sash, I\u2019m willing to risk anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVeils and Vampires is amazing! It has action and adventure and a little spicy. Enough that it makes you drool and want more. Honestly a totally different take on modern day vampire soulmates. I devoured this book in one sitting.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Teresa, Goodreads<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Veils and Vampires<\/em> was paced more evenly than Violins and Vampires<\/em>. But, I wish it was a bit longer. I easily got through it in less than a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lexa certainly seems to come into her own, getting more comfortable with her abilities and who she is throughout the story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We still don’t have an answer to just how much Mom\/Anya knows about their pasts. As Lexa says, “this is either the deepest truth she’s ever kept or a mammoth whopper of a lie.” My money’s on the latter, but I could be wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nor do we get any additional information about the Gray Woman’s motives or plans. She only mentioned in this installment; we don’t actually get to “see” her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are many unanswered questions at the end of Veils and Vampires<\/em>. I hope we get some of them answered when book 3 is released. I look forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I have to note that the ARC I received was full of errors. However, I was informed that it went through a final edit prior to publication, so I won’t take a star off my score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In general, it’s a good second installment to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
