Night Veil by Yasmine Galenorn (Indigo Court #2)
won from LovLivLive Reviews
Synopsis from Goodreads
Eons ago, vampires tried to turn the Dark Fae in order to harness their magic, only to create a demonic enemy more powerful than they could have imagined. Quietly amassing their strength for centuries, the Vampiric Fae-led by the merciless Myst, Queen of the Indigo Court-are determined to enslave the world. Only one witch stands in her way...
Cicely Waters grew up believing she was simply one of the magic-born-a witch who can control the wind-but when she returned home to New Forest, Washington, she discovered she was also one of the shifting Fae. Now she must perfect her gift. For Myst, Queen of the Indigo Court, has captured Grieve, the Fae prince who holds Cicely's heart. To save both her beloved Grieve and her friend Kaylin-whose demon is waking-Cicely must journey deep into the heart of the Indigo Court. But even as Cicely gathers strength, old alliances are breaking faith.
And new allies, like the hedonistic vampire Lannan Altos, promise to take Cicely down a far darker path than she's ever travelled before.

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.

Ясмин не подвела как всегда. Хоть сюжет меня и не захватил сразу, довольно скоро я вчиталась и последние страницы вообще дочитывала на лету.
Сесили всё ещё пытается спасти Грива от Мист. Чем-то мне она иногда напоминает Герду, честное слово. И то она сделает, и то переживёт, только чтоб победить Королеву и вернуть Кая...
Ланнан, ням! Не зря, не зря он мне понравился с самого начала, несмотря на свои садистские вампирские наклонности. Есть в нём глубина, и когда кто-то кроме него ранит Сесили он показывает на что способен.
Куча всего происходит в книге, как обычно у Ясмин - это прям как в индийском фильме. И папочки объявляются, и мамочки предают, враги становятся друзьями, а друзья врагами, Любовь у нас такая ба-альшая и непобедимая...
Да-да, у писателя большая склонность к драматизму, но всю равно читать очень интересно, и фантазией её Бог совершенно не обидел.
8.5/10

In case of zombie apocalypse
Hey, guys! I feel like I should say this just in case :)
If you'd like to sponsor a fellow book addict who sometimes can't sleep at night worrying that she won't have enough books to read if internet goes down in the event of zombie apocalypse (I'm convinced it's one of the top five ways to go for human race) you can donate through Paypal to olivesandacorns at gmail dot com or buy a book through any of the links provided with my reviews which will send me a small percentage from the sale. All proceeds will go towards my enormous TBR. I will also shelter you on the remote farm in Portugal when zombie apocalypse starts provided you survive getting there. There will be books, yay?
Thank you! Love you all
