I'm not sure if it's possible to write a review without adding some SPOILERS.Anna is an orphan with a lot of bad luck.  She is trying to make it across the US to her friend in New Orleans when she finds herself hitching a ride with the wrong man.  Only she's not alone in her head, the man from her dreams is talking to her and is trying to help her.  And so we meet Gabe, a member of "the family" living in "Unknown" Louisiana, the place by the lake Anna has always dreamt about and like her they all have copper-coloured eyes and some, like her, have "veiled eyes".I really liked the beginning of the book but after that it went downhill and I found it utterly predictable and the ending went on forever (and considering it's not a long book) and was unrealistic.  I didn't like the title and I hated all the italicised French words I found the use of them utterly annoying and pointless.  Oh and somehow the "family" is huge yet they rarely marry an 'outsider' because they can't be trusted - wouldn't that only leave relatives to marry?
