Review:

Across the Veil was a nice, short paranormal love story. Princess Talia crosses the veil in order to live in the human world. She is running from the man she has been betrothed to. In the human world, she goes by the name Natalie and is an actress for a hit television show. After 5 years, she is found.

This is a pretty good story. I think it would have done wonders for it to be novel length. There was so much back-story that I felt I missed out on. There wasn't time for the characters to be developed. There is so much the author could have written about to lengthen this story.

It has lots of potential though. I thought the plot was intriguing. I would have liked to know more about this fantasy world that Natalie comes from – it sounds like a neat place! The book held my attention all the way through, and the writing was good as well. I'd recommend this for fans of fae, as well as other paranormal lovers. It's also good if you're wanting a quick 30 minute escape from the world.
