I stepped in front of the High Priest, bowing my head forward in submission as my mother sobbed behind me. Her wails echoed through the gardens, each one striking against my heart. Caelum: “Come out and play with me, my star. I know you’re in there somewhere, burning away where you think no one can see you. Imagine how brightly you’d shine if you embraced all that fire.” of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars What Lies Beyond the Veil by Harper L. Woods

Caelum: “And yet you continue on anyway, my brave little star. You burn so bright I sometimes fear the Wild Hunt will sense you from miles away,” And on a last note, there were like no side characters. There were, but none that were close to the main leads as their friends of something and that bored me, because the story progressed at such a slow pace, Estrella and Caelum met at around 30% and then they just travelled until the 70% mark, and it was just so boring with just the two of them, because they didn't do or talk about anything of substance. Yeah, Cealum told her a couple stories and one was relevant at the end, but that's it. And even that was predictable as all hell. Also, the romance progressed at a weird pace. They said I love you way too fast even for a book about fated mates.

Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now. To continue shopping, enter the characters as they are shown Second time around the book was kinda meh, but the ending was still really good and will con The love interest, Caelum is charming and radiates alpha male energy. The two together make a pretty good couple. The characters are the reason why I give it two stars. I drew in a breath, feeling the High Priest dig his knife deeper into my skin and begin to drag it to the side. Sudden awareness burst through my contentment, the impression of someone banging on the other side of a doorway, though there was none to be found. Im going to list its flaws with the astrix of *i saw the shortcomings and literally did not give a sh*t.

Storyline is extremely predictable. There wasn't a single plot twist that surprised me. It felt like the author was spoon-feeding the reader to the point where it was obvious where the story was headed. I felt like I was being told more than I was being shown. However, it’s still an enjoyable ride. I was nothing but a road to Midas. A means to get to where he wanted to go, and I paved that path in gold." What Lies Beyond the Veil by Harper L. Woods is the first book in a dark romance fantasy series on kindle unlimited. The second book in the series comes out in August 2022.From the coauthor of the New York Times bestselling Illuminae Files comes the first book in a new series that's part Romeo and Juliet, part Terminator, and all adrenaline. Estrella spent her entire life tending to Lord Byron's gardens in Mistfell during the day and receiving private lessons from him and his tutors at night. But once the barrier between the two realms is broken, Estrella's life is forever changed. Marked as a mate to one of the fae, she must flee to save herself from being hunted down by the Mist Guard, protectors of the human realm, as well as the Wild Hunt, a group of fae from the Shadow Court. Also, everyone and their grandmother could see that twist at the end coming from a mile away because we've read it before and the world building was so underwhelming. What the hell was the purpose of those lists at the beginning when they served no purpose at all? Huh??? What??? Caelum: “Do friends get jealous of past lovers? Because I cannot promise I wouldn’t disembowel any man who has been inside you.”

For nearly 400 years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I’ve spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame.Just know this review comes right after I finished the book and it might be a little all over the place. I just couldn't sit down and write a proper one, because this book frustrated me. Also, it contains spoilers, I guess.
