It's taken me a bit of time to work out what I wanted to say about Veiled Innocence.....I've been reading Ella's books since I picked up Exquisite and have thoroughly enjoyed everything I've read!! I was pretty sure from the teasers we were getting that I was gonna like Veiled Innocence but in truth, saying I 'liked it' is an understatement.Ella took my heart, twisted it in knots then ripped it out and bloody broke it.... but I'd go through it all again - in a 'tick, tick, tock' heartbeat!!I loved VI - throughout the telling of the story I was all over the place in my thinking as to what had/was happening..Ella wove a tale that kept us guessing, itching to find out more - but scared in case it wasn't what we wanted it to be.I ran through a gamut of emotions - some of the support characters had me fizzing and mad as hell, while one in particular, Doc, had me intrigued from the get go.I love a dual POV - enjoy the insight into the thoughts of both characters and what they are feeling/going through.~  Addison - for a young woman she was, at times, was older than her years while at others everything seemed like a game to her. She was confident, demanding and determined as hell, - when she set out for something she pretty much got it, regardless of the lengths she had to go to... but as the story continued, we found that Addy was a complex character - shaped by events from her past, and her parents attitude towards her, meaning she had a need for control that was ever present, until Grayson came into her life.~  Mr McK - I really liked his character. His life wasn't turning out the way he thought it would -  he was stuck back home because of his sick father, teaching at a high school when he'd rather have be doing things that made him feel alive and then he was hit by the storm that was Addison - poor bugger really didn't stand a chance...Ella Frank's writing is excellent. The change of time frame and character between chapters kept the book flowing.The last few chapters had me reading late into the night - I needed to find out what the hell was going on!I give Veiled Innocence 5*s and would, without doubt, recommend it - it really is worth a read!
