Beyond the Veil
A fabled wall, marking the territory of the werewolves and adorned with the severed skull of a once great alpha, stands between Natalya and her prey.
When she finds the body of Anesa, her beloved mentor, she is determined to hunt down the vampire responsible. Crossing the border into Claw Haven to follow him is sacrilege though, and the undead werewolves whose skeletal bodies wane and wax with the moon are more terrifying than the vampire she seeks. But there she meets Voren, a werewolf who is a living contradiction to everything she has been led to believe.
Her journey into the lives of the pack entwines her and Voren's fates with that of a master vampire' Arkadith. Defeating him may lift Voren's curse and bring peace to Valwood and Claw Haven, but Arkadith is determined to bring an end to this vampire huntress as well...

In the village of Valwood there is a centuries-old feud between the humans and the immortals that border their lands. The Elders rule the village and they now have a tentative truce with the werewolves. Vampires and werewolves have been banished from the village. There is a wall dividing their territory from that of the werewolves and it is known that any crossing of boundaries will result in the forfeit of lives.
17 year-old Natalya is the daughter of one of the Elders in Valwood. She is a vampire huntress, even more powerful than her mother, who was killed by the most-feared vampire around, Arkadith. When Natalya goes into the woods with her mentor Anesa, they are led into a trap and Anesa is killed by Arkadith too. Natalya vows revenge against Arkadith for all he has done and she refuses to let anything stop her.
I could easily see this as a graphic novel too! Beyond the Veil is very unpredictable and a fresh take on the usual.

1 word, AWESOME!!! It's so nice to find a vampire/werewolf story these days that isn't a teen love story or a "shifter-romance".
Growing up as a fan of all things fantasy, vampires in literature, film, and gaming were monstrous to behold. They are powerful, undead beings capable of wreaking terrible havoc, yet intellectual and scheming. This book brings that back for me. The characters feel very real, and are extremely well developed. Without giving anything away, not everyone is 100% as they appear. All of the characters have layers of depth and I found myself sympathizing with almost all of them at different points in the story. The werewolves have a rich culture and society, but are still savage and brutal. This story really examines fear of the unknown, and Natalya (the protagonist) is a character that actually learns and evolves as the story develops. It's nice to not have a one dimensional, unlikable heroine!
The writing itself is very descriptive, but doesn't suffer from purple prose imho. The story moves along at a really nice pace, and I love the clear and vivid picture I get in my head when reading it. The fight scenes are written amazingly well. I could almost envision stylized fight scenes from a Hollywood movie as I read them!
At one point before this novel was for sale, the author had it up on a writer's site and I was able to read the whole story. You can still read the first 10 chapters on Wattpad and Booksie if you want to try it out. Now that it is polished and 100% complete, I ordered multiple copies of the paperback (I still like old-school books) for myself and family/friends. I just think it's that good :)

I really enjoyed the strong female character in this book. But I had to keep reminding myself how young she was, because there were certain situations when I thought she could have been stronger or fought harder, without going into specific scenes and ruining too much of the plot. But overall, I think because of her age, those scenes made her a more realistic character.
I did enjoy where the story went and although it wasn't happily ever after, I felt there was at least some small hope, or possibly a chance and would love to read more and see where it goes.
It was also good to read a vampire story where the vampires are something to be feared and are more likely to eat you, than stand at the end of your bed lovingly watching over you as you sleep.

Beyond the Veil is a fascinating fantasy novel that will change your view on vampires and werewolves.
The novel was written mostly in the point of view of Natalya and Voren. It mainly focused on Natalya's hunting the vampires and her determination to kill their master named Arkadith. He did not only kill his mother, but his fledglings also killed her mentor, Anesa. Powered by revenge, she is willing to sacrifice her own safety just to make sure her village is safe again from those evil vampires.
In this novel, I was able to see more of these vampires and werewolves. The author was able to bring good and bad on them. That they still possess a bit of humanity on them even if human sees them as monsters. They might be killers and different from humans, but it doesn’t mean that they are already bad and that they like it. That was what Natalya had discovered and made her thought a lot about what was real and what was not.
The plot is very tricky for me as I’ve always assumed that it’s going to be predictable. In one scene, I already think that there would be a romance there, but it turns out I’m wrong. Then, there was also a time I’m thinking again of what will happen next, but I was left surprised by how it turns out to be. The author managed to balance everything here, and she was able to show a father and daughter relationship, leadership, friendship, and more.
The way she wrote this novel is amazing. She is very descriptive on everything – the places, the feelings or emotions, how werewolves and vampires look like in this story, the war between humans and werewolves, and more.
I also like the way she wrote her characters. You’ll see how they changed or grew as the story progressed. It is very well-written. I especially liked Arkadith and Natalya as I've learned a lot from them, their different views had a point on everything.
The only thing that makes me off is the typo on this book as it kind of stops me on enjoying the novel whenever I came across them.
Overall, this is recommended for readers who want to read a vampire or werewolf story that has no romance and is really different from the other books.

A YA Supernatural Novel
This is a YA novel filled with drama, fighting, war, and death. I enjoyed Jessica Majzner's depictions of werewolves and vampires. I thought she did a nice job of showing that her "monsters" were more than just villains.
I liked the premise of the story, however I had to knock a star off for editing errors. Hated to do it, but I had to be fair. Most stories are bound to have a typo or two. This story had more than a few typos. Each time I ran into a typo or editing error, it temporarily jarred me out of the scene.
I also knocked off a star for missed details. Again, I didn't like doing this, but the details are the stuff that make up a great story. This novel takes place over the course of approximately three months. The last chapters take place during the winter season. Strangely enough, I had no trouble believing in a world filled with vampires and werewolves. I did have a difficult time believing in a17 year old human girl traveling on horseback in a blizzard and camping in a cave in winter. As a reader, I guess I'm NOT supposed to worry about the realities of taking care of a horse while traveling/camping in the great icy outdoors, but I know I would have gotten much more enjoyment from this book if the details had be more realistic. There was an entire chapter that told, rather than showed our main character's time spent in werewolf territory. That should have been fleshed out a bit more. If I knew more about the characters, I think I would have cared more about their faits. Perhaps the timeline was stretched out too far? This story felt like it could have been more believable if it had taken place over the course of a week or two, rather than three months. There were many scenes where the weather concerns seemed to have been forgotten, but those little details add reality to a story. If the story hadn't had such a long timeline, I believe a lot of those continuity issues could have been resolved. It's petty stuff, but it's the little things that can drive a reader to distraction.
Did I enjoy this book? I enjoyed parts of it very much! If you like books about werewolves and vampires, this might be the book for you. Jessica Majzner's take on werewolves is so different from anything else that I've read. That alone might make this worth the read. It is a fairly "clean" read, only one minor curse word that I remember seeing. No sex. There is a great deal of violence, although not as graphic as many books I've read. I'd say this book is suitable for 15 year olds and older.
I'm curious enough to want to know more about the characters and their futures. Hopefully, we'll get to know them a little better in the next book.

Beyond the Veil, by the Lovely Jessica Majzner, is a thoroughly enjoyable vampire-werewolf supernatural fantasy novel with romance nipped in the bud.
Detailed review: http://bohomind.com/beyond-the-veil/
Beyond the Veil is all about a focused young vampire hunter’s journey of revenge and sacrifice for the love of her kin. Rarely have I seen a book on vampires and werewolves have a cover not showing blood dripping from fangs of a chiseled white vampire, or a werewolf hero with ribbed muscles holding a scantily clad damsel in distress in a tight embrace. This book has a simple cover focusing on the protagonist and her amulet which plays a significant part in the story. Oops, did I just give out a spoiler? No, I think not (sigh in relief). Beyond the Veil is such a relief from all cliches and stereotypes. The book starts with a touching scene that indicates at the troubles to come. The action follows soon. The author does not indulge in unnecessary world building. What she does is paint an excellent picture of the tribal villages and castles directly associated with the main factions of the conflict, namely, human beings, werewolves, and vampires. Guns are a new concept in this particular human tribe, owls spy for mysterious and unknown masters, and monsters fight within their tribe for power. The author has nicely woven these secondary scenes into the main tale, ensuring the story never suffers from a monotony of vengeance. I liked the way this book maintains a balance in the relationship drama, powerplay within the pack, and the main quest. The book talks about the bitter-sweet joy and pain of first love gained and lost, the bond of mentor and mentee, friendship, father-daughter relationship, unwilling dependence on a sworn enemy-turned-master, are some such examples. Some of such associations might seem underexplored, but I think that’s acceptable since vengeance plays the most significant part in the protagonist’s mind and hence the book. The story progresses at a uniform pace; the language is clear and the writing, lucid. I love the way the author shows us how the protagonist acts when she reaches the crossroads of life, love, and her goal. One can easily overlook the predictability of the plot due to the author’s skillful narration. There is, of course, one or two surprising turn of event, making the story stand apart from the others. If you like fantasy, try Beyond the Veil. A young-adult supernatural adventure story with less drama, subtle emotions, just a hint of romance, and a kick ass heroine, this book is a must read.

Paranormal fans rejoice! An amazing tale about vampires and werewolves that isn’t merely a backdrop for cheesy romance!
There is not a single sparkling vampire in Beyond the Veil, I promise! Jessica Majzner pens a traditional tale that does not need a love story to move the plot along.
The Story…
Natalya, a vampire huntress, finds her beloved mentor dead and she is determined to kill the vampire responsible. Unfortunately for her, the trail leads into Claw Haven, home to an ancient werewolf clan. The humans and wolves have had a shaky truce since a deady war ravaged both sides ages ago. It is forbidden to cross the border. Following the vampire into Claw Haven would be sacrilegious. Alas it is her sworn duty and this time it’s personal!
There she meets Voren, a werewolf who is living proof that everything she has been led to believe about werewolves, is a lie. Turns out the fate of the pack, along with herself and Voren’s, is entwined with that of a Dracula-like vampire named Arkadith. Defeating him may be the only thing that will bring an end to the new war between Natalya’s people and the wolves of Claw Haven.
My Thoughts…
Inspired! Beyond the Veil by Jessica Majzner, is a beautifully written, traditional tale that will make vampire and werewolf purists alike, howl with joy. (Sorry couldn’t help myself) When I first started reading it, I immediately thought… paranormal romance, but I was wrong. There is no romance. Mutual respect and empathy between characters, but no love story. That in itself was refreshing.
The protagonist Natalya is brave and stoic. A strong hero that holds her own amongst her male counterparts. Truly a fantastic model of strength. Even when her worst nightmare befalls her, she picks herself up and uses her burden to fuel her mission. She is a very likable character.
As I mentioned, the writing is beautiful, and every scene is described in such vivid detail, you can put yourself right there alongside the main characters. I took my time with this one and as one of those previously mentioned purists, I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful story. I would recommend Beyond the Veil to anyone who has grown weary of the vampire/ genre. It will renew your love for the monsters that have been used to ‘death’.

(review request submitted by the author for an honest critique)
Throughout the years, I have watched many movies/shows that focused on vampires and werewolves. I’ve also read my share of books centering on them. With all of them, they share one common denominator…..not all “creatures” want the curse bestowed upon them.
Within every faction, wolf or vamp, there was some who fight the pull of the beast within and those who embraced the darkness. Beyond the Veil was no exception to the rule. It had werewolves, vamps, and humans who loved the thrill of the kill and ones who fought for peace instead of death and carnage.
I will say this, the battles between the humans and wolves were brutal – bloody – and everything you’d expect in a scifi (paranormal fantasy) book. The true form of the wolf alone will stand out in your mind as the one of the best shifting scenes in any written form. They are not the beautiful beasts depicted in famous tv shows. They are not even Hallmark card worthy. In my opinion, Jessica’s twist to a well-known shifter was a welcomed change to the norm. She brought fresh life into something gone stale. Good job!
As you can tell, I absolutely enjoyed the story except for two smalls thing……Anesa’s quick end and the final moments of Part II (no spoilers).
Anesa: As I watched her fight the vamps in chapter 1 and meet her end, I wondered why Jessica didn’t extend her role a few more chapters. I’d been happy for a flashback or two regarding her training Natalya. Based off Anesa’s combat skills, it would’ve been nice for Natalya to recall times with the fortune teller as they were laying her to rest or at other times Natayla remembered the wise, old woman.
However, despite my need for more Anesa and the predicable plot twist in Part II, Beyond the Veil didn’t disappoint and I’m sure it won’t for you either.

A great little fantasy book that is not your ordinary supernatural love story, which do seem to be ten a penny! It’s much better than those. It really is a great little find. One of those gems that you will want to read over again. Beyond the Veil is fast paced with an intriguing storyline. I love all the chat around vampire’s and werewolves and their history. Packs and curses, territories and hunts. These are all included.
The main character Natalya is a strong female who won’t take no messing around. The action scenes in the book are written really well and very descriptive. They give you a fantastic image which is what find adds so much more to a book. Many twists and turns to keep you occupied throughout.

This is a fun read! The characters are well developed. At one point the saying don't judge a book by its cover comes forth strong. Grotesque creatures aren't what they seen. A lot is thrown on Natalya's shoulders. It's suspenseful to watch her walk the journey to overcome. But it won't happen at all how you may suspect! There's a point in the book your jaw will drop and you'll wonder okay so what now!
June 25, 2016
If you like a strong female main character, this novel is for you. The character development was well done, and the world building and descriptions were detailed, making this an enjoyable read. The vampires and werewolves were as you would expect cursed beings to be, creating a realism I like to find in fiction. I recommend this story for all lovers of the paranormal genre.

I read the paperback version of this book and I am blown away! The characters are awesome and the plot, without giving too much away, twists and turns throughout to reach a morbidly fitting ending. I love how supernatural creatures are presented - a brilliant deviance from the usual vampire/werewolf presentations of today. I hope the author keeps writing!
February 26, 2019
Loved the story and absence of romance was refreshing. Dramatic storytelling, but it works. Would make a great audiobook. Overall, this is an epic paranormal fantasy I would definitely recommend to people who are tired of dragons and wizards. It won't disappoint.
I was given a free copy of this book for an honest review.

Once I started reading this book, I found that I really enjoyed it. It has an interesting storyline and characters that will grab you. It moved along at a good pace, which made reading easy. This book should be experienced.

Totally cool, you have got to read this. If you're still writhing over Twilight, pick this up. It'll give you closure. Werewolves were awesome! All the explanations for how everything came to be was so new, refreshing, and I couldn't stop reading!

Great book!
I enjoyed Beyond the Veil very much and have been highly recommending it to my friends and family. The sequel can't be available soon enough for me!
