Veil of Shadows is the 2nd book in Walker's Veil series. I read Through the Veil in 2008, so I didn't remember a lot about the storyline. I knew I liked it and was ready to dive back behind the Veil. Captain Laisyn Caar (or "Syn") (h) and Xan (H) are a fabulous couple. They are both strong warriors determined to do whatever it takes to protect their people and make Ishtar (a realm between Earth and demon realm, Anqar) a safe place again. I didn't have to worry about what I'd forgotten from book 1 as Shiloh provides all the information needed to pick up where you left off. The demon battles, the training scenes and the romance between the couple are so detailed you feel like you're there.If you enjoyed Through the Veil, I would highly recommend reading this one. This book could be read first since she does such a great job of explaining the world and characters established in book 1 without spoiling any of the romance between that book's H/h, Kalen and Lee.
