This is a 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.
