If you love paranormal romance stories with suspense you will LOVE this book.This is the first book I have read by this author and if her other books are like this, I think I might have a new author to add to my favorites list!Veiled Eyes was a romance story full of suspense.  I thought the nature of the "lake people" - from their phyiscal appearance to their supernatural abilities were really unique (which is hard to find in modern paranormal romance stories).I liked the way the story developed - in such a way that I couldn't predict where the story was going, what the characters were going to do, who the bad guy(s) were, etc.  I found the characters to be genuine and there were no superficial, useless annoying characters that some authors just feel the need to throw in for whatever god-awful reason.I also LOVED the way the lake people were introduced.  Since these were not these supernatural people were unknown, their behaviors in the beginning were eerie (all of the walking towards Gabriel, standing in a circle just waiting for him to help them know which way to go).  That was an eerie picture to imagine - possibly because you didn't know whether or not they were totally good/bad guys at that point or what all their abilities were, etc.I love the REAL lives all the characters in the story seemed to lead.The ONLY thing I can say as a possible criticism for the book is the fact that Anna never flat out ASKED ANY real questions about the "gifts" and her prior connection to Gabriel that she had been aware of before meeting him.  I didn't find that realistic.  I would think ANYONE would have just asked something.  I think MOST people would have had to see someone actually speak to the words to confirm that they WEREN'T going crazy & just hearing voices in their heads.  Anna never does that and I found that a bit unbelievable.  I did consider that as a flaw and had to overlook that.But I would tell EVERYONE who loves paranormal romance to read this book!  I hope there are TONS of sequels.  I want to read about tons of lake people coming of age, finding their partners, etc.
