Sloppy writing! Freaking 3 pages ago you talk about the chick wearing pants and now her legs are showing from the slit in her skirt? Sloppy, people, sloppy. Especially for a fully priced $7.99 Kindle book.

I am done with this book. I have absolutely no interest in this character or her 'voice'. IMO, there was no emotion to her. The entire book felt like the inner voice that was used just listed off a series of things she was doing. This-happened-and-I-was-scared. THere didn't seem to be any expansion of the emotion after that. Ugh and double-ugh.

I stopped after a scene where a woman comes in to get a protection charm and when Cicely 'sees' that she is a victim of spousal abuse, she didn't even try to put any extra into the charm (although she did return her money) and there was zero feelings of sisterhood. She actually did a can't-save-everybody mental shrug that turned me so far off that I may not even pick up another of the writer's books.

My Goodreads Updates

"Is it me?
"...Cicely. I'm afraid that if you don't have sex tonight, you'll get sick." Really? Seriously, is Ms. Galenorn a Laurell K. Hamilton wannabe?

Ugh, ugh and double ugh. Cause Cicely already drowns her sorrows in sex to the point of imagining what an unconscious friend (who needs help not to die) would be like in the sack. I'm stuck because the plot/story premise is so good, but she's about to lose me"

"I don't like making the character do stupid things to serve the plot. This book seems to take that as the main model. Big ugh to that.
I also need to like the characters a bit more. They seem so...flat. 'I did this and he did that". "I love him so much so let's f*#k". Really? Thats all the emotion the writing has conveyed so far. Definately not Cat & Bones or Barron & Mac whemo"

My Kindle Notes and Highlights (expressing much frustration)

And whatever I could do to keep Myst from destroying the joy of summer, I would willingly do.
Note: Lets hope she starts being MUCH more of a thinker from this point. She hasnt been the brightest bulb

I found myself walking off the path, mesmerized by her sudden appearance. Krystal, my mother.
Note: What an idiot

I know that Lannan just wants to watch me in something like this.
Note: So why wear it? The dumbass moves that are put in to advance the plot don't work for me

As she held the sign, I pounded it into the ground, first scooping away a good foot of snow to reach the dirt.
Note: Wow, they must be strong. Its the middle of winter and the ground is frozen

Night Veil was a key book in the Indigo Court series. It sets you up for what's going to happen in the rest of the series. Alliances and enemies have been made. Families are torn apart while some are reunited. This book is definitely interesting to read, and it has captured my attention. If you are looking for something with a little bit of everything, and different, then the Indigo Court Series is a definite must read. ( )

We get more of Cicely's family background as well as other history. Grieve is reunited with her and Lannan proves more of a benefit than thought possible. ( )

*SLIGHT SPOILER ALERT*

Ha, I knew Lannan couldn't have been that bad and that sadistic!
But I digress.

Although Sisters of The Otherworld is still my favorite series from Yasmine Galenorn, Indigo Court is not far from it. All the trademarks of Yasmine are present - rich fantasy, messy relationships, and dark twisted intrigues.

It took me awhile to get into this book, but once I did I couldn't stop reading.

Cecily is still trying to save Grieve from Indigo Court; her small town loses more and more people to Shadow Hunters every day; vampires to whom Cecily is contracted pressure her to do their bidding; relationships at home get more and more tense; and Kaylin who is supposed to play important part in the destruction of Myst is in coma because his demon is trying to hatch...

It's all a hot mess, with some allies turning enemies and some enemies becoming allies, but I loved it! Cicely and Grieve, by the way to me are not as interesting as Lannan - a vampire to whom Cecily is contracted and who plays quite a dark and twisted game with her until someone else hurts the girl and then you see that there is so much more to him than you thought....

If you haven't read anything by Yasmine yet, do give her a try. She is definitely worth it. ( )

I just finished reading Night Veil. It is the second book in the Indigo Court series written by Yasmine Galenorn. Cicely goes on a quest in order to save a friend who is stuck in a dreamlike universe. Meanwhile, she’s starting to have memories of herself and Grieve in their previous lives. Can she figure out how to continue her battle with Myst? Can she save her friend in time?

Like the first book, I really loved this book. I’m glad I finally got the chance to read this book. I’ve been curious about this book and the rest of the series since I picked up the book a few years ago. I knew then that it would be one of my all time favorite series if I could just figure out a way to get the rest of the series. So far, I’m right. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series!

There isn’t really anything that I didn’t like about this book. I know there will be people who don’t believe in some of the things that are written in this series. I honestly don’t let those things bother me. If the story is enjoyable, I can overlook the controversial aspects of the story.

I fully recommend this book and the rest of the series. I would highly recommend this series be read in order. I hope that anybody who takes my recommendation enjoys this book and Night Myst as much as I did. I’m glad that I was given the chance to read this. I hope to be able to read the rest of the series soon. ( )
