I believe 'Unveiled' is one of Milan's earliest books, and you can really feel how she grows in confidence and skill even just within the Turner series itself.
Agreed. I noticed the language sharply between Unraveled and Unveiled—it's much clunkier in the first book. I don't feel that way about the characterization: I'm just essentially less interested in Ash as a hero. Plotwise, however, Unraveled has way more going on.
(The Turner series was traditionally published, although I believe she's reclaimed the rights now; Brothers Sinister was the first series that started out in self-publishing.)
Unveiled and Unclaimed were originally published with Harlequin; as far as I can tell, Unraveled was self-published from the start. All editions on her website now match, which means I agree with you about her having the rights back.
By the way, this is totally off-topic but you might be interested, Milan formerly worked as a lawyer, and she's just been featured in a major Washington Post story regarding sexual harassment from a judge she clerked under.
That's actually where this whole experiment started! I liked The Heiress Effect well enough that I should buy a print copy to continue to be supportive, and maybe the same for Unveiled.
