Neomi was a famous ballerina from a century ago and became a ghost the night she was murdered. She is invisible to the living so she haunts her home and tries to scare away any who try to dwell within...that is until she encounters a ruthless immortal more terrifying than her ghostly essence. Conrad, as a vampire, had been consumed with his thirst for enemy blood...draining his victims which has caused madness, visible by his blood red eyes. to prevent him from harming others and keep other vampires from taking their revenge, his brothers decide to imprison him in Neomi's home thinking it was abandoned. For some reason that Neomi cannot understand Conrad can see her, and she is determined that the only person to ever see her ghostly form WILL pay her some much wanted attention. Conrad is entranced by the beautiful ghostly form he sees and is tormented with desire to have her as his own even though he is unable to touch her. When Neomi finds a way to get an earthly form, thanks to a redheaded witch, their passion ignites. Can Conrad fight his madness to keep Neomi by his side?
***When this book started and I realized Conrad and Neomi couldn't touch I was worried this story would not be any good. Kresley managed to weave a fantastic tale that I feel is different from the other books in this story in a great way. Even though the main characters are not able to physically touch during the early parts of the book it did not take away from the fact that this is a great erotic romance. This is a great spin on the IMMORTAL AFTER DARK series and I am looking forward to more.
Congrats Kresley, keep the IMMORTALS AFTER DARK books coming.
