Review Detail

What I liked:
Vampires, Witches, and Ghosts have a murder mystery to solve. The Scarlet Veil is a spin-off series set in the Serpent and Dove world. This book follows Celie Tremblay, who has defied tradition and taken her place as the first female huntswoman and is engaged to the captain. Celie is a character who does much growth over this 600-page novel. When we first meet her, she is afraid of the dark, but who can blame her after being trapped in a coffin with her dead sister for two weeks? I would be jumping at shadows, too. Celie is also very sheltered in some ways. She has no idea about sex, knows very little about vampires, and will be shocked when she learns all about her sister's affair with a different kind of monster.
Final Verdict:
The Scarlet Veil is the book you want to curl up with in October when all the witchy, vampire vibes are in the air. The world grows darker earlier, the shadows seem more spooky, and I can see myself having an adventure alongside Celie on the isle of vampires. Celie will need to use all her unique talents as the bride of death to solve her sister's murder and the murder of many others and, at times, be bait, for there are much worse things to find on the isle than Vampires.
