In my experience, any book that has word 'surreptitiously' in a very first sentence promises a singular reading experience :) And I am happy to report that 'A Kiss Beneath the Veil' by Aimee Roseland delivers on that promise with aplomb.Daphne is a medium who can talk to ghosts. She discovered that she has ability to communicate with the dead after Veil between realms of humans and that of monsters was lifted five years prior. Now she is running a shop, helping people to communicate with their lost loved ones.A serial killer is on a murderous rampage and Daphne is involved in the investigation. One late evening Daphne literally runs into her ex-boyfriend, a thousand year old vampire named Isaac. His sole desire is to rekindle their romance, that came to an abrupt stop five years ago, when he confessed to Daphne what he truly was and told her that he was in love with her. Terrified, Daphne run away, not being able to deal with pressure of being a love interest of an ancient vampire.Isaac proves to Daphne his intentions and they reconnect in not completely unexpected fashion. He also promises to help Daphne find the killer. More adventures follow. Overall, this is one of the better examples of supernatural romance genre. Prose is smooth and polished, plot has unexpected turns and sex scenes are tastefully written.Recommended.
