Veiled

Alex Verus, Book 6

By: Benedict Jacka

Narrated by: Gildart Jackson

Diviner Alex Verus and the Council that governs the magical community have never gotten along. But with his former teacher back in Britain, Alex is in desperate need of allies, and he'll do whatever it takes to get them - even if it means accepting a job with the Keepers, enforcing magical law. Alex forms an uneasy alliance with his new partner, Caldera, but his attempt at legitimacy quickly turns lethal when a mission puts him in possession of an item that factions both inside and outside of the Council would kill to get their hands on.

Once again caught in the middle of a deadly conflict, Alex will need all his abilities to figure out who his friends are - especially when enemies are hiding on all sides....

Great edition to a great series

I thought this was one of the better of the series. It had a touch of mystery and a thrilling action. It was, however, not one easily understood with reading the previous installments.

Solid verus book

Another Alex Verus story. If you liked the other ones, you'll like this one. As always Gilbert Jackson's narration is perfect.

This book seems to be setting up the next large (multi-book) arc, so it suffers a little bit from having to move so many plot elements around with out revealing too much about them.

Great series

The world of Alex Veras and his cohorts gets more fascinating with each book. The characters and events come to life and I can’t wait to read the next in the series to find out what happens to each of them.

Too much mage politics and squabbling

I love this series, but the dialog gets a bit tedious when mages start to squabble. More magic, less arguing, please!

Great story that doesn't fail to please!

If you have gotten this far into the Series you already know that each book doesn't fail to please and this one is no different! Things are changing in the mage world and Alex is too. With each book we get closer to Alex finding his destiny. Where will he end up? I don't think he can stay independent forever or will he be on the side of the light or dark? who knows? can't wait for the next installment
