Book Review: Devil's Isle: The Veil

                                                               The Veil Review

The Veil is the first book in the Devil's Isle series which is a series that is set in New Orleans after a recent war with supernatural beings that live on the other side of the Veil which is now close but the people of New Orleans still have to deal with the after effects of the war. One of the after effects of the war is that there is a lot supernatural beings and magic left over in the world which is a problem for humans who are sensitives. Sensitives are humans that can wield magic if they absorb enough of it but if they absorb too much of it they become wraiths which are mindless beings that live only to kill. The government agency known as containment treats supernaturals, sensitives and wraiths as one and the same and lock them all up in a place called Devil's Isle which is basically a supernatural prison.

Claire Connelly is our main character she is a sensitive who is living in hiding and she doesn't know how to control her abilities so she tries her best not to use them since she doesn't want to turn into a wraith one day. Claire is sure that she is going to be caught by containment after she used magic to fight off a wraith in front of a camera, Claire tries to make a run for it but she is stopped by a bounty hunter named Liam. Liam convinces Claire to stay to cover her tracks and learn how to control her magic since he knows that control is what will prevent her from becoming a wraith. Claire soon learns that not all supernaturals are bad and that being a sensitive doesn't have to mean that she will have to become a wraith one day. In the later parts of the book as Claire learns to control her abilities and develop feelings for Liam she also learns of some government conspiracies about opening up the veil again.

Overall this book was good it had an interesting plot and mythology to it, the characters could have been better but were in no way unlikable. This book was a good start to a series and I look forward to reading the next one in the series one day. Please tell me your thoughts on this book in the comment section down below.
