Veil of Shadows by Jennifer Armintrout


This is book 3 of the Lightworld/Darkworld series. I must be honest, out of all 3 books in the series this one was my least favorite.


Synopsis (from back of the book): With the Immortal Denizens of the subterranean Lightworld & Darkworld societies locked in battle, the heiress the the Faery throne is exiled to the human realm above. Accompanied to the upworld by her mother's most trusted advisor, Cerridwen is bound for Eire- and the last fae stronghold on earth. But even this fabled colony is no true haven.


In the absence of the true Fae monarch, the formidable Queene Danae established herself as a ruler-and she does not wish to relinquish her power, especially over the devout Humans who live among the Fae servants.


Torn between her own beliefs and the ideals her mother died for, Cerridwen searches for clues to her destiny- is it on Earth among the Humans, or beyond the ethereal portal, in the immortals' ancestral home? Neither path can avert bloodshed- and the choice may not be hers to make.


My thoughts: It took me over a month to read this book. It was just really slow in the beginning. Luckily the storyline does pick up but not until halfway through the book. The cover of the book is cool. Danae is a wicked, mean, and very bad girl. I really liked her as the enemy. But mainly the story is a sad attempt at a love story. Overall I give it a 2/5.
