We Love Chloe Neill’s The Veil! Excerpt & Giveaway

logo

The Veil by Chloe Neill // VBC We’ve been fans of Chloe Neill’s books since the start of Vampire Book Club more than six years ago. Back then we fell for Merit and the Chicagoland Vampires series.

With the release of The Veil today, we get to fall for a whole new world with plenty of New Orleans charm and another heroine we want to be friends with. Her name is Claire and she’s the main character of The Veil, the first in Neill’s new Devil’s Isle series.

Our review of the book will be coming soon, but we wanted you to get a taste of the book today. We have an exclusive excerpt from The Veil just for VBC readers, and below that you’ll find a giveaway of a bunch of sweet The Veil and Chicagoland Vampires swag.

EXCERPT FROM
CHLOE NEILL’S
THE VEIL

“You’ve got a smart mouth, cher.”

Definitely Cajun. “That’s what I hear.”

Cold sweat began to slide down my back as my gaze snapped between the front door—the figures moving outside—and the back. He was bigger than I was, but I had magic, and enough time might have passed that I could use it again without hurting myself.

He must have guessed my plan. “Don’t even think about it,” he said, lifting his shirt enough to show muscled abs and the gun belted at his waist. It was the same model carried by Containment agents, and I hoped I hadn’t made a huge mistake.

“I don’t want to use this,” he said, “but I will if you try to use magic against me.”

He cast a glance behind me at the store windows, at the bobbing flashlights that signaled Containment’s arrival.

“Damn it,” I said, panic rising, but I pushed it down. I’d been in trickier situations before, and probably would be again. As much as I hated to admit that my father had been right, that it was better not to get involved, the evidence was piling up. “This is your fault. I’m going.”

The man stepped in front of me, his big body completely blocking mine “It’s too late. They’re outside, and they’ll have seen us in here. This is the only store in this part of the quarter, and we’re probably the only sober people in a three-block radius. They’ll want to talk to you, see if you saw anything.”

“They got me on camera,” I said, pleading with him to understand. “If I don’t leave, I’m screwed.”

I’m Isle-bound/and there I’ll stay/wear the devil’s crown/till the end of days. That was how the song went. And if I wasn’t careful, it would become autobiographical.

His eyebrows lifted, concern obvious on his face. Even he knew how bad the situation was. “You’re sure?”

“I know how to recognize an activated Containment camera.”

He considered for a moment, shook his head. “Containment agents are dispatched based on the detection of magic—the triggering of the sensor. These agents will probably have been rerouted from the party, so they won’t have reviewed the tape yet. If you run now, they’ll think you’re guilty of something, and they’ll stop you. And if they stop you, they’ll check the film.”

Hope shone like a distant star, then faded. “Then I have to get to the video.”

And how was I going to do that? Gunnar, I thought queasily. I’d have to ask Gunnar to do it, to get into Containment’s video system and delete the evidence.

“We’ll deal with the video. But right now you need to calm down and do what I say.”

I lifted my eyebrows. “Do what you say? I don’t even know you.”

“And you don’t have a reason to trust me,” he admitted. “But the other choice is worse.”

Pick up The Veil at The Book Depository or Amazon today.
