I swallow hard and my heart begins to thud. It’s not my imagination. I’m not asleep.
Karina Halle at her best.
Halle is back on form. After loving her Sins & Needles trilogy and the spin-offs, I went through a series of disappointing reads from her. Love, in English wasn't my thing, Where Sea Meets Sky was an early DNF, and even the Experiment in Terror series didn't quite hit the spot. But this EiT spin-off featuring Ada Palomino is all kinds of creepy goodness, perfect for old fans and new ...more
5 Stars!!
I’m a big fan of this author. I love her writing, her vivid storytelling and her well-developed characters. Her stories always keep me at the edge of my seat for one reason or another and her newest release did exactly that. Like many readers I’ve heard about her famous PNR/urban fantasy series “EIT”, but I’ve never been interested in reading it since PNR is not exactly my genre of choice. I can count on my fingers the number of PNR I’ve read i ...more

As a fan of this author's work, I've always wanted to try her famous Experiment in Terror series, but I haven't found the guts to yet. After reading Veiled, I'm more inclined now to give that series a chance.
This was an intense, creepy, yet addicting read and it had some romance in it too. I took the word of others that I didn't need to have read the EiT series to follow this story and I'm happy to report they were right. I loved that even though I have not experienced Dex and Perry yet, I was ...more

I wont do a full review on this one as there are many out there infinitely better than mine could be. But I will say a few things to give you a heads up in a way.
This is a creepy book but it's not horror. That said don't read it at night and alone. It still gave me goosebumps even if Karina herself has said it's mostly PNR. If you have not read her Experiment in Terror series I suggest dropping everything and reading it. This is a standalone and not depended on the series but it is a sp ...more

For as long as I’ve been member on Goodreads I remember having Karina Halle’s Experiment in Terror books on my shelves.
That was 4 years ago or so and I was just discovering romance books so my first interest for horror and spooky stories wasn’t enough to make me read them already. I knew they must be good as many friends recommended me throughout the years. But I knew there was a slow burn love story, spanning over 10 books or so… talk about a daring challenge!

4 spooky ass stars!!!
The author said this wasn't suppose to be a horror book, well, I hate to see what she considers horror then. Maybe I am just a chicken sh*t, but this was seriously scary.
Not my usual type of read, but I really liked it. Spooky and a gory, with a little romance.

Karina Halle's Veiled is marketed as a standalone, paranormal novel for readers who have not read her Experiments In Terror series. However, being a reader who hasn't read her EIT series or her Devils series , I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I had made the introductions beforehand. Veiled felt much more like a companion novel, not a standalone. Although Ms. Halle did a superb job of including much needed backstories to both series, these characters' histories and past experiences

YAAAAY!!! Atta GIRL!!! I expect epicness...
Karina Halle is back with what she started with (and what she does the best in my opinion) – paranormal romance with horror elements.
Unfortunately, this spin-off to Experiment in Terror series doesn’t have the same x-factor that original series has. The fact that appearances of main EIT duo (Perry & Dex) were highlights of the book made me realize that even though I love spending time in EIT world, Ada’s story didn’t stand on its own for me.

I loved this book.
I devoured this book.
Karina had me captured from page one. Veiled was gritty, sexy, and thrilling. Jay and Ada's story was full of so many emotions. I was laughing and then biting my nails the next minute.
Just fantastic.

I cannot wait for this book! Ada is a badass
4 scary, sexy, supernatural stars
As a die-hard fan of the Experiment in Terror series, I have been so excited to get my hands on this book! Ada was a wonderful side character as the younger sister of EIT heroine, Perry, a 15 year old with wit, sass and courageousness, and I knew she would shine as the heroine of her own story, and she totally did!
A quick note - this book is not a direct follow on from EIT. It’s set in the same world of course, taking place about two years after the end of the fi ...more

Been waiting soooo freaking long for this ... and definitely worth the wait .
So I'm not really even sure if I can put into words how I feel about this book, but I'm going to at least try.
So I remember way back when I was first interested in the EIT series. I wanted to read it, I mean jeez, everyone kept going on and on about how good it was, but It wasn't really my reading genre and honestly, I was nervous about the whole horror part. So I kept putting it off and putting it off. I remember though, I did a buddy read, and ironically enough we started it around Halloween. ...more
My, how I've missed Karina Halle's paranormals! Veiled has an EIT vibe with all of the creepiness and horror, but I loved the new direction. This isn't EIT 2.0, it's better! Ada and Jay are like Buffy and Giles, but much hotter and sexier.
I will say that there were times where I thought I was going to have to sleep with the light on because it was scaring the pants off of me. I couldn't stop reading, though, because I loved it!
(full review to come!)

Deliciously creepy and romantic, Karina Halle’s Veiled brims with darkness, passion and suspense. A spinoff from her Experiment with Terror series, this story explores Ada Palomino’s fate as her encounters with death suddenly become more intimate and compelling.
I loved this side of Halle. She easily hit her stride from the beginning, stirring up hair-raising chills. Toss in a little forbidden, menacing romance and a beckoning portal to Hell, and well, I was hooked.

This book has convinced me that I need to create a new bookshelf: horror-romance. I haven't watched a true horror film since I watched The Exorcist by myself in the basement when I was a teen. Thankfully, I find reading horror slightly less scary. I think it is because there is no creepy music or shrill screaming upping the ante. The gore is still described but somehow seems less....oozy in print than picture. Veiled, by Karina Halle, is a demon-seeking-human type of terror that is tremendously

I can't seem to like anything by Karina Halle.

First and foremost, I LOVED EiT and was SO excited to read Ada's story! Going into it, I had to remember it was just that. Ada's story. Although, I loved reading me some Dex. Who wouldn't?!
Karina Halle is one of my favorites. So no surprise, I loved this book just as much as others.
