Celia: Having never known my parents, I’ve always felt like an orphan. All I want is a normal life. But after I’m attacked in my bedroom by one vampire—and rescued by another—it’s about time to give up on “normal” once and for all. Idris, the second in command of the Gregorie vampire clan, has come to my aid, but his motives for saving me are unclear. And what surprises me most is my attraction to his heated gaze. . . .
Idris: Terror. Curiosity. Arousal. These are the natural impulses of a human female, not the spawn of the ruthless Valarian king. Is it possible that Celia is unaware of her bloodline—and the power coursing through her veins? As the daughter of my archenemy, she was supposed to be my ransom. But how quickly the heat of desire changes everything. Now the family Celia has always craved is trying to kill her, and it’s up to me to save her again—when all I really want to do is make her mine.

What I thought about Blood Veil
The difficulties of the Gregorie vampire clan continue in this second installment of the Mission series from Megan Erickson. Idris, King Athan's brother has been watching the half-human/half-vampire daughter of the enemy Valerian vampire clan. Thinking to use her as a means to draw out the opposing King, Idris has been keeping an eye on Celia for some time.
Athan is very cautious about using Celia as a bargaining chip, and Idris ends up ignoring his brother's advice. He gets Celia into a heap of trouble when his plan goes awry. Making everything worse is the fact that he's developed feelings for Celia and Celia has developed feelings for Idris, especially since Athan warned Idris against getting too close to the dhampir.
This story was set up much like the first book in the series. There's a whole lot of no-we-shouldn't at the same time they are going for it. I didn't get quite as invested in Celia and Idris as I did Tendra and Athan though. Not sure why because I can't put my finger on exactly why, and I still enjoyed this story.
When Idris is forced to do the unthinkable, Celia's life depends on her special powers that were hinted about earlier in the story and we learn exactly the meaning of the title, Blood Veil.
Overall, an enjoyable read. I do like how these vampires move about in the Mission undetected and the world that Megan is building in this series. I hope there will be more.
