Awesome New Series . . .
Lord Valadon, CEO of ValCorp and leader of New York’s vampires, is attracted to Professor Miranda Crescent, a human woman with powers only Elementals possess. She works for him as an authenticator of rare works of art in his collection, and she is fearless. When she came to his office to get her purse which she had forgotten, an assassination attempt was made on him using a silent helicopter shattering his office window and shooting a dart which struck Miranda as she shoved him out of the way.
After the attack on Valadon, Miranda is ready to find pertinent information he needs against his enemies. But Valadon’s second, sexy and sarcastic Remare, the deadliest of Lord Valadon’s Torian Guard, believes Miranda is a member of the Human Order of Light, a powerful hate group against the vampires. He thinks she may be working to destroy Valadon. But he puts his distrust aside to work with her in uncovering information on who is trying to murder Valadon, and he grows more attracted to her. However, Remare is loyal to Valadon and shouldn’t care for the woman Valadon has marked as his own. But how does Miranda feel about that?
This is a captivating story line that truly holds the reader’s full attention as the intrigue builds from all sides. We learn of the assassination attempt first-hand; we see tension between Valadon and his son, Gabriel, a research doctor in the medical room; and Remare is determined to investigate Miranda for her possible involvement. This was so exciting and well-written. I wholeheartedly recommend this one, and intend to eagerly read each book in the series. You won’t want to miss this one!
Meranda Becomes so fierce in this book. She finds more of her power. But finds out Humans are not so nice also. I love these Books so much. They are so much fun to read. I get so caught in the story I forget what time it is. Highly recommend Reading The series
Great introduction to the world of corporate Vampires .I like this take on the paranormal . The author keeps you involved and the plot is not that easy to figure out . very well written. as good as Sherrilyn Kenyon
Veil of Shadows is a smart, sexy and highly imaginative novel that fans of both Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance MUST read. Diana Marik brilliantly creates a world of powerful, memorable vampires and smoldering weres. I was captured from page one and ran back to it every chance I got. The story is told through many different characters but is woven together beautifully with a satisfying conclusion. The passion on the page is intense. My heart was pounding reading her masterfully crafted romance scenes. LOVED THIS BOOK. And I am so thrilled there are more to come.
This was an interesting read. The relationships are quite complex between races and clans, even individuals. Miranda is a human who is involved in both the were and vampire communities and has her own secrets. She protects the vampire lord Valadon and enters dangerous territory. She is unaware of everything that is happening around her but she goes farther than ever when protecting those around her as the needs arise. I look forward to the next installment.
I received a copy of this book as part of the Book Obsessed Chicks Star Review Team selection.
