This is a very enjoyable book, it is very readable and the principal characters are well-rounded and easy to identify with. I was left wanting to know more about what happens next. The only thing I can't understand is why it hasn't been published by a traditional publisher yet?
The characterisation within this book is very good, especially for Cassie and Trenton and to a lesser degree for Iris, Holly, Mouse, Jean-Luc and Aunt Faye. It would have been more satisfying if the book was a bit longer a...more

The Grimoire Chronicles: Veil Between Worlds, is not your average YA book!
The MC, Cassie has descended from generations of witches. She is intelligent and from the very start of the story she has an understanding of the Wiccan religion but like a typical teenager is somewhat unsure of herself and fears others do not accept her for who and what she is.
Although I am not a Wiccan myself, I have studied Wicca using Farrar's texts and have witnessed a number of rituals. I found the accurate depiction...more

So, I just finished The Grimoire Chronicles: Veil Between Worlds by Sally Dubats. To be honest, when I began readin this I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Yes, I thought it looked good and it was certainly the kind of book I would read- witchcraft, gorgeously enchanting male interest that has some secrets -but I didn't really set my hopes too high. Then I began reading the book. It was a great book! The prelude prompts questions that has answers within the secrets of the book, and t...more
Don't let the classification of young adult stop you from reading "The Grimoire Chronicles : Veil between Worlds" By Sally Dubats. This is a story for all ages, even I was a bit skeptical after reading the first few pages but soon found out that this author had written a fantastic fantasy story! The novel is told from Cassie's POV, like other normal teens she is trying to find out where she fits in. But she is a witch and comes from a line of witches so that in itself makes it difficult to "fit...more
This is a brilliant foray into paranormal romance and Wicca practices. This stunning beautiful masterpiece drew me in from the first page as the book touched on many aspects of my solitary Pagan path. The author is a practicing Wicca; her book introduced the reader into the different facets of the Wicca religion. Basic concepts were touched upon in the beginning of the book, weaving the Wicca element with romance masterfully. It was a refresher on some of my own practices so I enjoyed it immense...more
I decided to read this book on a whim after suffering withdrawals from another series. I started the book not really expecting much, just a light, quick, fun read. What I got was all of the aforementioned and then some!
This book really shocked me. I didn't know anything about the author, and only a very basic synopsis of the story (girl is a witch, meets a boy, her world is turned inside out). Veil Between Worlds follows Cassie, a young Witch, and is told from her POV. She's 17 years old, her be...more

The following review is copied from my blog, here.
The Grimoire Chronicles: Veil Between Worlds is the first book in what will be a series of 8, each of which will focus on a different sabbat (the holidays that Wiccans and other Pagans celebrate). This one takes place at Samhain, ie. Hallowe'en. The main character, Cassie, is a Wiccan, who uses her witchcraft to find out why she's missing part of her memory, and how that's connected to the mysterious and attractive Trenton.

The story line of the book was great. I really enjoyed stepping inside the life of a Wiccan, written by someone who actually studies the Craft. It had a good moral to it as well but I think the main character didn't progress to that point in an entirely natural way. The writing itself needs some work but it's nothing a good edit couldn't fix; it paints the images of the story well enough to understand what is going on but occasionally word choices throw you out of the reading. Despite the above...more
Within a couple of minutes of reading, I realized how much I wanted to be in this world. The rich descriptions allow the reader to feel like they are there while the story develops with some unexpected twists.
The witchcraft within the book is honest and wonderfully done within the story. Gives those unfamiliar a glimpse into the life of a real witch, without distracting from the story. Fantasy and reality mix well to share insights while sweeping you into a tale you won't soon forget.

Veil between Worlds is a surprisingly unique tale that drew me in with its mystery from page one. The mix of paranormal elements that Dubats explores in this tale is not one that I've come across before and I'd dare to assume, one that isn't very common. (I don't want to say more for fear of giving anything away!) The writing style flows nicely and is wonderfully descriptive.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved the fact that the author created the leading character, Cassie as a truly believable teenage witch. By this, I mean, Cassie practices the craft in a truly real-life manner which resembles that of many modern day witches around the world. Wicca is her religion, and I found this book to have the religion aspect and craft incorporated into it better than most other books I have read in a similar genre. Most stories with a leading character as a witch have...more
The Grimiore Chronicles: Veil Between Worlds by Sally Dubats, though fiction, has moved me spiritually more than I could ever have expected. Every detail of this novel, from the cover to every word of its contents beautifully portrays its lesson.
