I decided to read this book on a whim after suffering withdrawals from another series. I started the book not really expecting much, just a light, quick, fun read. What I got was all of the aforementioned and then some!
This book really shocked me. I didn't know anything about the author, and only a very basic synopsis of the story (girl is a witch, meets a boy, her world is turned inside out). Veil Between Worlds follows Cassie, a young Witch, and is told from her POV. She's 17 years old, her best friend (also a Witch), Violet, has moved away, and Cassie is sort of an outcast. She's having a hard time adjusting to the absence of Violet, and then some really stange thing begin to happen to her after she meets a mysterious boy about her age on her way home from school one day. She leaves the meeting confused, and missing time in her memory. Having experienced missing time before, she dives into an investigation to figure out what happened and ends up on a roller coaster ride that turns her entire world inside out.
What really shocked me about this book were the details about Wicca and Witchcraft. The author hit so many things perfectly, which gave the book a more realistic feel to it. Sure, it's still fiction & a lot of things were definitely fantasy, but I was still really impressed by the accuracies surrounding Cassie, her aunt, and their religious practices. It was only when I reached the end of the book and read the "About the Author" portion that I learned about Sally Dubats being a Wiccan herself. That's not really important in regards to the book, but I can definitely appreciate it when authors write about Wicca & Witchcraft and actually know what they're talking about.
That's all I'll say without giving away anything significant from the book (I'm horrible with reviews, anyway). Basically, if you're considering reading this book and you enjoy books concerning Witchcraft and the like, read it!
