Book Review: Veiled Innocence by Krystle Jones


Veiled Innocence by Krystle Jones

SERIES: The Soul Cycle #1 
GENRE: YA Paranormal
PUBLISHER: Pesante Press
SOURCE: Borrowed
FORMAT: Ebook

Summary (taken from Goodreads):
Sometimes your greatest battles are fought from within.
Lianora has never placed much stock in the gods or in the lore of the land. She especially never believed the legends that spoke of a lost ancient magic, a magic woven from the fabric of people’s souls. So when she discovers the teardrop necklace, she thinks it to be nothing special – until the visions begin, horrific glimpses of an approaching evil, mingled with fragments of a legendary empress’ shattered past.
Try as she might, Lianora cannot ignore the omens. As the visions worsen, she finds herself internally battling a shadowy voice that seems bent on consuming her whole. When tragedy strikes her home, she is forced to flee and team up with Vishka, a beautiful, fierce warrior shrouded in mystery, and Rowan, a brooding young knight. Together, the reluctant allies must find a way to conquer the darkness threatening to overtake the land of Eresea, and Lianora will have to come to terms with the destiny she never asked for.
With gripping action, forbidden romance, and magical intrigue at every page, Veiled Innocence is the first instalment in an epic fantasy saga that will leave readers on the edges of their seats begging for more.



My Review:
This was an enjoyable reading, although I had mixed emotions about it. There were intriguing parts, tragic parts, and overall it was very touching. 
However, there were some points in which I found myself a bit confused and lost. Like I lost track of what was happening or the conversations between the characters.
I wish something more happened between Lian and Gabriel, but I really loved the "hidden courting". :)
There were also a couple of cliffhangers that left me really surprised, as I could have never expected those things to happen, but that's what keeps a book interesting.
I hope Spring comes fast, as I really can't wait to know how this goes on.

Overall Rating:
