Meru Tanner's birthday is taking an unexpected turn. When she receives a mysterious gift from a friend, she doesn't know what to think. When she opens it, she discovers an ancient, leather bound book with knot work designs burned into the cover. The book contains text of a language Meru saw just that afternoon—Ogham. Translated, the book is called "The Book of Veils." With the discovery, Meru finds herself tangled up in erotic dreams and visions of a sinfully delicious wolf-man. Added into the mix is her newfound ability to see through the veil of humanity. Now she's suddenly able to see all sorts of supernatural creatures that, at any other time, appeared completely human. Damon is a guardian, charged with protecting Meru with her newfound powers. Unfortunately, he's finding it very difficult to keep his beast reined in. Thanks to Meru's scent, he's being driven out of his mind with lust. Before they can act on their passion—and if Damon gets his way, they will—they must defeat the ancient evil threatening to destroy their world.
This is my first story by R.G. Alexander and I found myself totally blown away. Reminiscent of early Laurell K. Hamilton and the worlds of Kelley Armstrong and Kim Harrison, LIFTING THE VEIL brings the world of magic to the reader's senses. I loved everything about this story. I really enjoyed Meru's reaction to discovering all the hidden aspects to the world she lives in. From lizard men to shape shifters, she appeared way in over her head. Although she starts out with a very amusing reaction, she soon gets over her initial shock and really finds her place in the world. Damon is yummy with a capital Y. He made my insides tingle and my heart pound. The sensual scenes between Meru and Damon are going to rock your world. They are just outstanding! I kind of felt like a voyeur sometimes. Above all of this, the urban fantasy feel really made this story believable for me. If you're looking for a kick butt urban fantasy with strong paranormal and erotic elements, read this book. I promise you're going to love it. I'll be looking for all of R.G. Alexander's books now!
