I've been looking forward to reviewing this novella for a while now. Veiled Eyes (Lake People) By C.L.Bevill....
A vivid waking dream of giant cypress trees dripping with Spanish moss
haunts Anna St. Thais. The trees sit on a black lake that resembles a
dark Louisiana bayou with an evocative aura. The dream includes the
presence of a man who seems to know Anna all too well and a group of
people with strange telepathic powers, sometimes called veiled eyes. An
orphan from Texas, she is on her way east to help out a friend when she
encounters two terrifying things. Psychically, she begins to see and
hear things through the eyes of an unknown individual, a man who knows
more about her than she ever would have imagined. The second thing is
that she has been kidnapped by a sociopathic trucker intent on making
her his latest victim. When she is rescued by Gabriel Bergeron, a member
of the elusive Lake People in Northwestern Louisiana, Anna doesn’t
realize that he is her psychic counterpart and she has been inexplicably
pulled to the area. She shares their strange colored gold eyes and
their distinctive mental powers. They are a reclusive lot and know that
Anna is one of them, but has been isolated by unknown circumstances. She
is drawn into their incomparable world, something between that of the
Creoles and Cajuns, and much in addition to those. There Anna finds a
romantic link with Gabriel and the spine-tingling fear of not knowing
who to trust. Her return has disturbed the inner workings of the group
and threatens to expose secrets long concealed in the murky Louisiana
bayous. There are secrets to be divulged about her past and why she was
spirited away as an infant. Anna isn’t safe until she discovers the
answers she so desperately requires.
Well this ebook was amazing! I couldn't put it down except when I'm off the bus (Yes I only read on the bus). I found the Lake People's history to be very interesting. I thought the main character Anna was a great heroine, I could really identify with her when she went to Unknown. Gabriel is just yummy because he is Mr.Grabby Hands. I was so shocked when she figured out Gautier's warning. Overall it's a top class ebook and 100% order you to buy it since it's FREE! :D
