The Veil - Devil's Isle, Bk 1
Author: Chloe Neill
A brand new series from New York Times bestselling author Chloe Neill.   — Seven years ago, the Veil that separates humanity from what lies beyond was torn apart, and New Orleans was engulfed in a supernatural war.

Claire Connolly is a good girl with a dangerous secret: she’s a Sensitive, a human endowed with magic that seeped through the Veil. Claire knows that revealing her skills would mean being confined to Devil’s Isle. Unfortunately, hiding her power has left her untrained and unfocused.

Liam Quinn knows from experience that magic makes monsters of the weak, and he has no time for a Sensitive with no control of her own strength. But when he sees Claire using her powers to save a human under attack -- in full view of the French Quarter -- Liam decides to bring her to Devil’s Isle and the teacher she needs, even though getting her out of his way isn’t the same as keeping her out of his head.

I've read and enjoyed Neill's Chicagoland Vampires series - the only negative being that I never bought the heroine's behavior when talking about dating. She and her bestie were suddenly very juvenile on that subject whereas the rest of the time, she was a burgeoning badass. The "girlish" stuff seemed wrong for someone in grad school. Maybe that's just me.

This series, however, has a fully grown up woman at the helm. Claire has survived a Paranormal war in New Orleans and has built a relatively stable life in the aftermath. But when she discovered she has Paranormal abilities, everything changes.

Very exciting, great characters, wonderful world-building. I think Neill has become a much better writer with this series.
