What Lies Beyond the Veil (Of Flesh & Bone, #1)

Harper L. Woods

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Once, we’d worshipped them as Gods. 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. Then, we died on their swords. All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have us. There’s no choice but to flee everything I’ve ever known, not if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman. Now, they’ll claim what’s theirs. But before they capture me, Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he is everything I shouldn’t dare to want and a distraction I can’t afford. I can’t seem to stay away, not even with something greater on the line. My heart. Author’s Note: This book is intended for readers who are 18 and older. It contains mature language, graphic violence, and explicit content with darker elements. This is book one in a series and ends in a cliffhanger.

    I absolutely loved the world and was hooked up until the male main character was introduced. The “touch her and die” trope doesn’t work for me when she isn’t into it. It all felt like an abusive relationship.

    There was a number of lines that felt like they came out of no where… like I literally went back paragraphs and pages to see if I missed something, but I didn’t… just odd phrasing and random pieces of information that came out of left field…

    The story was a bit predictable as well but I mean I’m sure I’ll read the sequel when it gets released…

    That was a lot.
    I don’t love kink heavy books, PERSONALLY but I really liked this world she created and I like the way she designed the mating bond it’s interesting and different.
    I Also really wish Estrella wasn’t so dumb. At the beginning I thought she’d be a stronger female character, but she rapidly unravels into an oblivious shell of a character which kinda sucks. Hoping it will turn around in the next two books though.
