The Devil’s Isle series by Chloe Neill is set in a version of New Orleans that has been reshaped by a supernatural war. Seven years before the events of The Veil, a magical barrier between the human world and the Beyond was torn open, allowing paranormal creatures to flood into New Orleans. The resulting war, called the War of the Veil, devastated the city. In the aftermath, Containment (a government agency similar to FEMA with military authority) has quarantined surviving paranormals in a walled section of the French Quarter known as Devil’s Isle.
Claire Connolly runs a store in the Quarter and is secretly a Sensitive, a human who absorbed magical energy during the war and now has her own abilities. If Containment finds out, she’ll be locked up in Devil’s Isle with the paranormals. When she meets Liam Quinn, a bounty hunter who tracks down rogue paranormals, she’s pulled into a larger fight involving those who want to tear the Veil open again.
The series runs four books, from The Veil through The Beyond, and features Neill’s signature mix of action, romance, and supernatural world-building. The New Orleans setting gives it a different flavor from her Chicago-based series, with the post-war atmosphere adding a grittier edge to the story.
