Veiled Box Set
Lifting the Veil
Unemployed accountant Sophie Masterson never dreams that a trip to Salem on Halloween night will change her life forever. When a birthday gift of a psychic reading is thrust upon her by her best friend, Sophie has no choice but to play along. She wants the winning lottery numbers but, instead, receives something far more ominous—a warning of things to come. Being told her own clairvoyant abilities will soon surface should be enough to send any woman running to hide. Throw in the possibility that something sinister is headed her way and all she wants is an easy out.
When asked to help her brother, the police chief, with some easy filing, she’s sure that her problems are over. She now has an income, a job, and a safe haven where she can relax. What she doesn’t expect is that one of those files will be the catalyst to set the wheels in motion for the predictions to come true.
Detective Jack Love has a hard time following instructions. When his latest bust gets him benched, and shoved in the cold case filing room, the last thing he expects is to be tasked with babysitting the chief’s sister. When unqualified and in-need-of-medication Sophie gets the crazy idea to play detective on a case gone cold, there is little he can do to dissuade her from investigating.
Beyond the Veil
Clairvoyant Sophie Masterson finally got the job of her dreams as head of Dixon Security’s Psychic Division. She was sure that being a voice for the dead victims would make solving her cases a piece of cake. When a killer pulls her into his deadly game - looking for revenge against the people she loves most - and the voices in her head go silent, it will take some quick thinking to figure out the killer’s identity and take him out before he strikes again. With her boyfriend aiming to get her fired, her boss trying to get her into bed, and a group of men who think she’s made for fetching coffee instead of fighting crime, she’ll have to prove more than her worth to all of them if she wants to survive her latest case.
Veiled Intentions
Clairvoyant, Sophie Masterson has been cheated on, lied to, and underestimated at every turn since she found out she had gifts. But her luck has finally changed. She has a family that loves her, a best friend that keeps her sane, and the one man who has always believed in her wants to date. When the Pentagram killer strikes her local coven and fresh clues emerge on a case that has haunted her dreams, she'll stop at nothing to slay the demons and put the killer behind bars.
Dixon Security owner, Marshall Dixon knew that Sophie was meant to be his the first time he laid eyes on her. Keeping his distance while she dated his best friend had been a challenge, yet he stayed true to his words waiting patiently in the wings ready to win her heart. Trusting and believing in Sophie’s ability had never been an issue in the past. When his heart is on the line and her safety is threatened, it will take all of his resolve and loyalty not to break the trust that glues the foundation of their newfound relationship.
Veiled Threats
Amber Cantrell has had her fair share of good times along with the bad. Watching her best friend find happily ever after has left her feeling the void in her own life. With a change of career, she's ready to find the right man to make the rest of her dreams come true.
Self-proclaimed permanent bachelor and security specialist, Aiden Monroe has a way with women. Flirting is his natural pastime, as easy for him as hitting a target at the firing range. Chicks dig danger, and he isn't afraid to use that to his advantage.

Okay Stories. Good Narration by Tess Irondale (audible review)
Well this was a long book. It did have "4 stories" however, the first 3 could have been one book to be honest. The 4th story was about different people.
So book one Lifting the Veil was interesting and had my attention. I liked Sophie she was strong and I Jack was kind of immature to me and I wasn't real thrilled with him. But he wasn't the worst. There was some mystery going on here and her abilities come to life. Rather quick really.
The second book, Beyond the Veil was a little better and I liked Marshall with Sophie so much more than with Jack, he was much more mature and sexy. There was a bit of mystery in this story as well. And sex.
The third book, Veiled Intentions was good except at this point I am totally sick of Sophie. Her whole personality just changed she acted like she was the boss, the one with the most experience and knowledge. Really?? She was a graduated accountant (never actually working as an accountant) when she got a job as a file clerk at the police station. But within 8 months she acted like she was totally in charge and knew more than the these guys who have been working security and were Seals. UGH..
The fourth book Veiled Threats was NOT about SOPHIE! YAY! I was so glad. It was about her best friend Amber and Aiden. What a relief.
This might be my favorite, just because I was really sick of Sophie's entitled bossy attitude.
There was a lot of dialogue throughout all 4 books which was great, I love lots of dialogue. There was sex so this was not rated G. Not erotica.
As for the narration, it was pretty good. This was my first listen to Tess Irondale, I would listen to her again. She did the men's voices well and the gave everyone their own voice. She read with emotion and had a nice reading voice.
I did get this book as a free read with my KU subscription and 1.99 for the audible.

Good stories, with mystery, romance, could have done without the steamy sex, seemed to distract from the plot. Well narrated by

#1 Lifting the Veil
I have submitted this review after listening to the audiobooks of this series.
Sophie was being dragged around Salem, by her best friend. Last stop was the psychic readings. Although Sophie was not a believer, the reading gave her pause to think. Some of the young lady's revelations were a bit too accurate.
On returning home, life became strange, with premonitions occurring, and then the actual events taking place, just as they previously been displayed.
Her brother, the police chief, had helped out with a part time job, not realizing that this would be the platform to launch Sophie's new found abilities.
#2 Beyond the Veil
The past had come back to haunt them, an incident in Marshall and Jack's high school days is being touted as the reason for former friends being murdered.
Sophie takes the lead, going back to where it all began, to try and find out who was doing the killing.
#3 Veiled Intentions
The Pentagon killer strikes close to home, causing Sophie and Marshall to go under cover in the local covern, as a married couple.
It's drama a the way, as attempt after attempt are made on their lives.
#4 Veiled Threats
We are looking at Amber, Sophie's BF. She is having issues from her past, with someone leaving notes for her all around where she lives.
Then, Amber is informed that her grandmother had gone missing. Sophie demands that the Dixen Security team send someone to find the elderly lady.
It's dramatic and suspenseful, with the usual romantic attraction thrown in.
Another good episode from this author.

This is my review of the audio version as posted on Audible:
It's a greatly enertaining set of paranormal crime thrillers :)
All four books (three of which center on Sophie and the fourth on her best friend) keep you involved from the first page to the ending. They are fast-paced, with quite a few twists in the plot and surprises on the way.
The main character, Sophie, is likeable though quite stubborn; I like the way she grows up to finally believe in herself in the third book. I also like the way her paranormal abilities help solve the cases.
Secondary characters are nicely written, too, especially the love interests of both Sophie's and Amber's.
Narration by Ms Irondale is also great; the voices of the characters are recognizable and although some are better done than others, I generally liked the way she interpreted all of them.
Generally it's a great bundle of books for fans of paranormal crime thrillers, with a wonderful narration.

I received this audiobook free for an honest review. I Loved All of these audiobooks.
"Lifting the Veil" - Awesome
"Beond the Veil" - Fabulouss
"Veiled Intentions" - Terrific
"Veiled Threats" - Wonderful
The author introduces Sophie, a Clairvoyant. The love triangle with Jack and Marshall keeps you on the edge of your seat. You cheer for one, then for the other. It is hard to choose. How can Sophie choose? But that doesn't compare to the search for a killer or killers with Sophie's help. These books, 1-3, are follow-on. The 4th is a different romance and a different situation that Dixon Security investigates with two different characters. However, they are connected to the first three books. Love all the intricate stories within. Love how Sophie discovers her powers and what she can do with them. The narrator did an excellent job with all the characters and their personalities. She enhanced the story.

Interesting storyline
Interesting concept with characters that are fun. I think the characters spent too much time on having sex in situations that would in real life 1) get them killed or injured 2) never catch the bad guy 3) get fired because they weren't doing there jobs.

Funny and suspenseful
The female characters are smart, mouthy, and strong in beliefs and characters. The stories are worth reading. Both the male and female characters were funny, human, and strong. Definitely will be watching for more in this series and author.

Amazing Series
I'm not usually into detective books but these changed my mind. They are very well written and have great people in them. Try one and be amazed and hooked.

Veiled Box Set (Veil/Dixon Security #1-4) by Kate Allenton
Book 1 Lifting the Veil
Book 2 Beyond the Veil
Book 3 Veiled Intentions
Book 4 Veiled Threats Amber's Book
My thoughts:
I like Kate Allenton story telling style and if you can suspend your logic/common sense and go with the flow you will enjoy this box set of stories. The first 3 stories are about Sophie her ever increasing abilities in clairvoyance etc. and newly acquired investigating skills regarding serial killers and her varied love life. At the end of book 3 Sophie has her Happy Ever After ending.
The last book is Amber's story.
4 stars.
