Witches, Gypsies and Evil Wizards, Oh My!Veiled Mists is about Hanna who lives a very privileged life and loves every minute of it. She is your spoiled, shallow typical teenager who thinks that her mother was this beautiful princess. She finds out, however that her overbearing grandmother has been lying to her about who she is and who her mother was her entire life. Hanna also finds out that, she is a gypsy and that if she doesn't accept her destiny by her sixteenth birthday she will die by the time she is seventeen.First, I have to say that this book has your typical teenage stuff going on. You have your snobby shallow leading lady which is Hanna in this book. You then have her cronies, which aren't that bad but her "friend" Susan needs an attitude adjustment and then of course you have your hunky man candy Alistair who Hanna just happens to be in love with but he doesn't want anything to do with the shallow Hanna.I really enjoyed Veiled Mists because it was different from the other books I had been reading and Gypsies have not been in my typical reading repertoire. The characters were well written and had great personality, which made the story even better. I have to say though the best character in the book had to be Count Dracula, which is Ornella's companion, and yes, he is a dog. Nevertheless, he is totally his own dog that can communicate and is seriously funny especially when Ornella is threatening to turn him into a poodle. lol I also love Hanna's grandfather because he is who keeps Hanna focused and seems to have been the only one that ever really looked after Hanna, loved her and did his best to keep her best interest at heart. Unlike her grandmother that really only gave a darn about herself and how things would look if there were a gypsy in the family. Anyway, the story is one of those that I couldn't put it down when I started reading it. It was easy to get lost in what was going on and what you thought was about to happen. I hated when the book ended though because I wanted more and still want more. Maybe there will be more to this story, I know I am hoping for it.*Disclosure Notice*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my personal and honest review.
