This love story between a ghost and a vampire. So they do start with a bit of a disadvantage in the story.

Conrad Wroth has gone to the dark side, draining others to death he has absorbed their memories and has gone pretty mad. His brothers decide that they're going to try a desperate attempt to bring him back from this brink. When he starts talking about a beautiful ghost talking to him both he and they are convinced that it's another part of his madness.

Neomi Laress became a phantom when she was killed by her jealous lover. She's used to being invisible to people and ignored by them except when she uses her telekenesis to move things. She finds Conrad interesting, and participates in his healing. They find love along the path of healing.

I liked Neomi, sassy and clever and bitter about being adrift in a world where she really can't do anything to people she's desperate to be physical. There's nothing particularly surprising in this but I found it a fun read. ( )

The missing Wroth brother is finally found and captured by his brothers. He is a vampire, an assassin, and he succumbed to his blood lust and has killed while feeding, therefor marking him as evil and quite crazed from the memories of those he has killed. His brothers put him in an old house near their home in Louisiana to try and help him, turns out he is not the only occupant. Naomi was a famous ballerina at the height of her career in the 20's and was brutally murdered in her newly renovated home. The same home the vampire assassin now resides in. She is a ghost, refusing to leave her life behind, she stays in her home, unable to leave its walls for 80 years. Conrad is the only one who can see her, and they soon find out through various plot twists and obstacles that she is his fated bride. Find out how that goes down...its good.

I enjoyed this book, but not as much as the others, it was great, but not my favorite of the series. I love the humor and sarcasm of the female lead character, she is hilarious, and the face that she is a ghost well, that was new. I couldn't even figure out how that was going to work out for the main characters, but as usual, it does. Good book, and excellent series.

On a fateful night a hundred years ago, famous ballerina Neomi Laress became a ghost at the hands of a spurned lover. Existing all these years since, invisible to all around her, imagine her surprise when a brutal immortal madman abandoned in the beloved mansion she calls home becomes the only living being to see her.

Tormented and alone Conrad Wroth has become the very thing he fought against all those years ago when he was human- a renegade vampire. But now that they've found him, his brothers will stop at nothing to bring him back from the edge of insanity. When he begins seeing a phantom in the home they've chained him up in, Conrad's sure he's completely given over to the madness that every vampire encounters when ingesting the blood of the evil. But oddly enough the beautiful ghost brings a clarity that Conrad hasn't felt for eons.

Passion draws them ever closer and when the once cold hearted vampire sees the torment that Neomi must endure every full moon- he discovers that there is indeed something that he cares for more than death.

But when a powerful witch of the Lore discovers a way to make her flesh and blood, Neomi keeps from the man she's fallen for the one truth that could finally bring him to his knees. Will their love conquer the danger surrounding them or will Conrad finally give over to the fallen creature that he's always known he would become.

Another great book in Cole's IAD series- she writes tormented heroes like no other. I wasn't sure how she was gonna pull Conrad back from the creature of evil he nurtured for so long, but she managed it. Sizzling passion and wonderful characters populate this series and Conrad and Neomi's story is every bit the page turner as the previous books. ( )

Interesting. Fast paced. Could keep track of the many strange creature in the book. ( )

This is the 4th book in the Immortals after Dark Series. The book introduces Neomi who lost her life on one of the biggest nights of her career as a ballerina. During the celebration she is stabbed and dies and becomes a ghost in her home. One night a vampire who is pretty much insane is brought in by his brothers, He is going through bloodlust and they are trying to basically detox him. Conrad sees neomi and she can't believe it. He actually sees her. She is a ghost and he is a vampire so you are completely thrown into this unusual story and I couldn't wait to read the rest and see how it ended. It was a fabulous book. Ms. Cole knows how to write and how to write VERY good. The agony and heartfelt emotions are written so clearly you almost feel like you are watching a movie. Paranormal romance is really taken to the highest degree if Ms. Cole is writing the book. ( )
