Reviews:
“The author is adept at selling not only the novel’s supernatural elements, but the historical era as well. She takes her time building the characters and the world around them, which pays dividends once the really spooky stuff starts to happen. Like all good ghost stories, the true horrors aren’t entirely spectral: The characters are haunted by personal traumas and secrets as frightening as any spirit. An old-fashioned ghost story told with inventiveness and style.”-Kirkus Reviews
"A powerful reflection on mortality and the lengths some will go to find
closure or their own separate peace. A suspenseful but patient ride from
start to finish, Dawson has created an empathic and endlessly engaging
protagonist in Letitia. The plot is well supported by a poignantly penned
cast of characters that readers can envision and invest in. Emulating a
1920s literary voice, without ever letting the style slip, this paranormal
thriller is sinister, macabre, and hugely entertaining." -Self-Publishing

MY REVIEW
Behind the Veil is a paranormal suspense novel set in 1920s LA. It's an interesting read, but I had a little bit of a hard time getting into it. Maybe I just wasn't in the right headspace for a book like this. While I did like it, I also didn't really connect to it.
The characters are well-written. The plot is interesting. The ending is a bit suspenseful. It's got a Gothic vibe to it. It had everything going for it, but for some reason, I just didn't quite get into it as easily as I thought I would.
If you're a fan of paranormal ghost stories with some suspenseful moments, check out Behind the Veil. I do think it's worth a read, even if I am a bit indifferent to it.
3.5 stars.
About E.J. Dawson:
E.J. Dawson both credits and blames her mother-by reading The Lord of the
Rings aloud to E.J. twice-for her complete absorption with the world of
fiction. Growing up in a haunted mansion sandwiched between an abandoned
mine and an endless pine plantation should have been all the fuel E.J.'s
imagination needed, but her parents filled her life with stories: about
themselves, their lives, and the ones they had found through the pages of
books.
