My Review
5 stars
An evil sorcerer is gathering minions to start a war on our realm. Of course as the veil between both realms starts to fall these creatures sneak through and create havoc here. Thankfully we have some people here to stop them. Enter Derrick, Howard, Mary, and Sarah from Miskatonic University. Each has a special skill that is going to help them come together and stop the sorcerer.
The world is going to hell and it’s going to be up to the geeks to save it. Thank goodness there was all this brain power to save the rest of us. This was a great ride from the beginning. It is the perfect fantasy world, one heck of an invasion, and a killer group that steps up to save those that never thought of them before.
If you are looking for a great fantasy story, look no further. This story will suck you in and leave you wanting more from Guy Rissen.
I received Piercing the Veil from Silver Dagger Book Tours for free. This has in no way influenced my opinion of this book.
