A Beyond the Veil Mystery #3
Grave Consequences
Grave Consequences
The dead call to Jude. His heart calls to Angel. The Weave is calling in a favor.
Jude Holt is caught between worlds, learning to mend reality itself under the watch of a cranky, overworked deity who sees him less as a student and more as a potential replacement. Zhenjun didn’t save Jude’s life out of kindness. He’s recruiting.
Angel Mao is done playing by the rules. With his mate’s soul hanging in the balance and a shadow god’s clock ticking, Angel leads a rogue team of cryptid cops on a near-impossible break into a pocket realm, steal back what was taken from them, and perform a ritual that could either save their future or end it for good.
But they’re not the only ones hunting for Erlik’s secrets. A desperate, body-hopping Changeling offers a dangerous alliance, and the military is closing in, ready to claim Jude’s volatile power for themselves. To survive, Jude must master magic that mends the fabric of reality, and Angel must become more than a protector—he must become a leader of a new kind of order.
The Veil is fraying, the shadows are gathering, and love might be their anchor, but destiny is weaving a far more dangerous thread.
My mate is taking lessons from a cosmic politician who sighs like the world is one big IT ticket. Our break into a shadow demon’s pocket dimension and steal back what’s ours. Our a grumpy vampire, a haphazard crew of shifters, a wolf-god who’s seen too much, and a kid brother who’s in charge of "fae enrichment," which mostly means sending gifs of cats in tiny costumes. This isn’t a rescue. It’s a promotion. Welcome to the supernatural fix-it squad.

Grave Consequences is the third book in the A Beyond the Veil Mystery series. This series should be read in order. We are back with Jude and Angel for more of the story. This was just an amazing rollercoaster ride of action, drama, magic, but mostly love. I couldn't put this book down once I started it. This story is so good that you forget you are reading a book and feel like you are actually living it. I still love the other characters and world building that went into this series. I really want see what comes next because I love Jude and Angel so much so I hope Lissa Kasey will continue this series. I would definitely recommend this book and series as 5 star reads.

Third in series (A Beyond the Veil Mystery), must be read in order. Paranormal. Fated mates. Coworkers. Established couple. Found family. POC representation. Dual POV. Heed content warnings.
Picking up where the last book ended, Jude is a ghost and everyone of his coworkers and found family are trying to help him return to his body, especially his mate Angel. But there are a lot of unknowns and the clock is ticking before Jude fades away and Angel with him.
There is tons of character growth in this entry of the series, as the main characters and some side characters get some new powers and have to navigate them as they work together to find the bad guy. Throughout this there is never any doubt about Angel and Jude’s commitment and total love for each other, but the found family (and Jude’s brother) really step up and this becomes a real team effort in a lot of ways. I enjoyed this adventure (the epilogue was surprising and hinted at more to come), and I really like Angel and Jude as a couple to root for. This series has been thoroughly entertaining so far. 4.25

This is book 3 in the series and must be red in order as it features the same characters throughout with an overlaying arc. Jude is a ghost and the team is trying to find Jude’s body. Jude is also learning more about what he can do with his powers. I loved the way the story unfolded. We also learn more about the other characters and what Jude’s brother Ivan can do I would love to see if nothing will happen between Ivan and Xavier. Am hoping the author continues this series to have more of Angel and Jude. Loved it.

I’m constantly in awe of this author’s writing and their ability to not only create unique, fascinating world builds, but interesting, funny, snarky, and vulnerable characters. I hope to see more of Jude and Angel, or at least others within the secondary cast of characters. I know that I’ll be rereading these books over and over again.

Is this a wonderfully written book? Absolutely. Did I read straight through the entire evening? Yes. Was the adventure non stop and make me feel like I was there? Yes. Was my hope that this book was going to be spent fixing the problem the second book left off at crushed multiple times? Absolutely. This book started where the cliff hanger of the previous book was, sad but hopeful, and then proceeded to make you realize you had no idea how good you had it, because things only get worse each time you think they can't. That was hard for me. It's sad, also brave also loving but mostly sad to watch the MCs hurt so much, though admittedly with fun sarcastic humor to try and offset it.
I fully recognize this is a me issue. I require certain amounts of happiness to balance out the hard and sad parts. I admire the writing and the world building and I adore all the characters. I was also really looking forward to Ivan and Xavier's story, but I'm not sure my heart wants to do this again.

This book is gritty and wonderful.
There are no words to describe how utterly cool and fascinating this story is to me. This author is brilliant. This is such a complex story. I can't get over it.
Jude, still a crazy powerful and total badass even though he's 💀
He's so cool! He's so full of snark and sass. I love him and Angel and their found family.
There are some very deep thought provoking things in this book.
I hella love Beau. He's so dang cool! Ivan is a little growing baddy too.
The cover art is gorgeous. Jude and Angel are so beautiful.
It's difficult when I find a story like this that is consuming me and I have to put it down and go to work. We should be able to call out of work for books like this.
This entire series is epic! It is both funny and intense. It's not easy to read. Like HARD EARNED HEA happening here. It is spicy but not like too spicy. Also it's creepy. 😂
I love it so much! Like stay up all night to read it and damn the consequences kind of love.
Beyond the Veil Mystery would make the coolest TV series.

Angel will do anything and he means anything to bring Jude back to his realm. Together him and the team move to an area they can protect one another to stop them from being further separated. Jude meanwhile is trying his best to go back to his people. When things go from bad to worse deals are made, the consequences will affect all forever. Words do not describe how incredibly well this story is being woven. With each installment, you think this cannot get any wilder than nope here we are for the next wild ride. The love these two share is so dang powerful, then even fates won’t step in and ruin what they found. As always I cannot wait to see what is in store for us next, with an ending like that, dang we are in for another epic ride to come.

Convoluted and slow
I really wanted to like this. Book 3 is very slow with Jude and Angel being separated. I expected more growth from Jude given the length of this story. Maybe it's just me though. I also wanted more of Ivan and his mate. I need the next book to move on faster for my interest to keep up.

Who would have thought that so many people would bond together trying to get Jude's back into his body? The special feel really was how Angel's family rallied around him to support and help. Looking forward to the next book so Angel and Jude can actually spend more time together

This book was hard for Angel, Jude and the team. The plot was darker and nothing happened easily for them. Of course we got a HEA, so that's something.

Absolute chaos!
A very fast paced deeply satisfying story with a very unexpected ending that no one would ever expect. I loved the entire story !

I needed this book for Angel and Jude. The cliff hanger of the last book was so.. That seeing the rest of that journey was so rewarding, lots of action and some angst. But honestly, what makes these books even more are the rest of the team. All the characters are so intriguing that I know I am just going to want to get more from them.
