On the night lovely Neomi Renate, a famous ballerina at the turn of the century, was murdered, an evil force turned her into a spectre - a phantom that's neither alive nor dead - and cursed her to relive her harrowing death every month during the full moon. Unable to leave her home, she has managed to scare away any trespassers, until she encounters an inhabitant even more terrifying than Neomi herself. When Conrad Wroth, a vampire warlord who's been half-mad for centuries, first beholds Neomi, he knows nothing will stop him from claiming the ethereal beauty as his own - not even death itself. Yet even if the gruff warrior can win her love and defeat the evil that surrounds her, he still must determine a way to bring her fully back to life, and back to him.

3/21/2011: I had reservations when I started this book since Neomi was a ghost. I'm not a big fan of ghost romances, but Ms. Cole did a great job getting me to care about Conrad and Neomi. I thought they had wonderful chemistry and I loved the slow buildup between the two. I liked how well matched they were and how both of them needed healing. I did wonder how they would have their HEA and while I was a tad bit disappointed, this was a great read and a wonderful addition to this series. 4.5 stars

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.
