Claire Connolly didn't plan on becoming a bounty hunter in training, but working with Liam Quinn was a better option than being condemned as a paranormal Sensitive to Devil's Isle. Liam kept her secret, however, and together they saved New Orleans. Now, Claire struggles daily with the fear that she could be outed, or worse, be overcome by the magic and transform into a wraith. Seven years after the Paranormal War, New Orleans residents are still dealing with the aftermath, and the rise of a new cult that believes that all Paras should be destroyed. With danger looming from this new group, and secrets being exposed, Claire attempts to fight the organization's rise and combat her own inner power. VERDICT Neill's sequel to The Veil continues to prove her adept at worldbuilding and nonstop action. Claire's honesty and straightforward attitude make her a great character for a harrowing time.--KC
