This dark and thrilling vampire romance—set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Serpent & Dove series—is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas! 
Célie Tremblay has always been a good girl: kind and beautiful, a daughter of whom every parent would be proud. She surprises the entire kingdom when she defies tradition to become the first huntswoman—including her new captain and fiancé, Jean Luc, who rules the huntsmen with an iron fist. He isn’t the only one concerned for Célie’s safety, however. Though her friends try to protect her from the horrors of her past, mysterious whispers still haunt her, and a new evil is rising in Belterra—leaving bodies in its wake, each one drained of blood.

Determined to prove herself in her new role, Célie tracks the killer to the lair of Les Éternels—ancient creatures only spoken about in nursery rhymes—and catches the attention of their king, a monster who hides his plans for her behind beautiful words and sharp smiles. Now Célie has new reason to fear the dark because the closer he gets, the more tempted she feels to give in to his dark hunger—and her own.

What I liked:
Vampires, Witches, and Ghosts have a murder mystery to solve. The Scarlet Veil is a spin-off series set in the Serpent and Dove world. This book follows Celie Tremblay, who has defied tradition and taken her place as the first female huntswoman and is engaged to the captain. Celie is a character who does much growth over this 600-page novel. When we first meet her, she is afraid of the dark, but who can blame her after being trapped in a coffin with her dead sister for two weeks? I would be jumping at shadows, too. Celie is also very sheltered in some ways. She has no idea about sex, knows very little about vampires, and will be shocked when she learns all about her sister's affair with a different kind of monster.
Final Verdict:
The Scarlet Veil is the book you want to curl up with in October when all the witchy, vampire vibes are in the air. The world grows darker earlier, the shadows seem more spooky, and I can see myself having an adventure alongside Celie on the isle of vampires. Celie will need to use all her unique talents as the bride of death to solve her sister's murder and the murder of many others and, at times, be bait, for there are much worse things to find on the isle than Vampires.
