Veils and Vampires

Vampires of the Daemonverse, #2

The satisfying continuation of the Vampires of the Daemonverse series!

Veils and Vampires is the much-anticipated sequel to Violins and Vampires and is the second book in author Cee Bee’s suspenseful adult paranormal romance series, Vampires of the Daemonverse. The story is a fantastic continuation of King Caelin’s and Princess Alexa’s relationship begun in the previous book, so these should be read in order for the best understanding and enjoyment.

Told from the dual points of view of Lexa and Caelin, the chapters are well-defined, and the voices of the two characters are distinct enough to avoid any confusion as to who is talking. Lexa is an even stronger character in this outing than the first, and that is saying something. She definitely takes control even as Caelin does his best to intervene as her protector. I really liked how events were told from both viewpoints, one after the other, as the narrative shifted from Lexa to Caelin and back. 

The plot goes back to Alexa’s and Sasha’s childhood and the pivotal events leading to their separation from their real mother, identifying Anya’s introduction into their history. At the same time, readers learn more about the trusty and loyal Hunter, his mate, Fifeur’s fate, and her prophecy, which points everyone’s attention toward the veil pendant. The inevitable face-off between Lexa and Pyri is a definite showstopper! However, the pace of the book’s early chapters set in the present felt a little slow to me. The characters initially appear aimless and stuck, especially Lexa and Sasha. The pace does quicken, though, and the reasons and need for action become apparent later. 

With characters that fairly ooze sex appeal and a plot that could mean the end of the world, I enjoyed this next installment in the Vampires of the Daemonverse saga. I recommend VEILS AND VAMPIRES to fans of the previous book and the entire series to readers who enjoy suspenseful adult paranormal romances. 

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving an Advanced Review Copy from the author through Xpresso Book Tours.
