About this ebook

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Kresley Cole continues her seductive and “devilishly passionate” (RT Book Reviews) Immortals After Dark series with this tale of a vampire shunned by his own kind and a beautiful phantom, bound together by a passion they cannot resist.

Néomi Laress, a famous ballerina from a past century, became a phantom the night she was murdered. Imbued with otherworldly powers but invisible to the living, she haunts her beloved home, scaring away trespassers—until she encounters a ruthless immortal even more terrifying than Néomi herself.

To prevent him from harming others, vampire warrior Conrad Wroth’s brothers imprison him in an abandoned manor. But there, a female only he can see seems determined to drive him further into madness. The exquisite creature torments him with desire, leaving his body racked with lust and his soul torn as he finds himself coveting her for his own.

Yet even if Conrad can win Néomi, evil still surrounds her. Once he returns to the brutality of his past to protect her, will he succumb to the dark needs seething inside him?

Ratings and reviews

This was the first IAD book I ran across and it was quite by accident, but probably one of the more fortunate ones i've ever had. I Love all of Cole's books, they are fun, endering and a perfect balance of sex and romance. Great books! And this one is still my favorite. I love a troubled soul.

Liked Wroth. Didn't like Naomi. Was kinda dragged out. Liked all the appearances by the other characters so it really tied it in. But overall not a big hit in my opinion.

I am a huge fan of The Immortals After Dark books and this one was definitely one of my favorites because I can relate to Neomi. We both love to dance and have a thing for vampires! You couldn't help but fall in love with Conrad. Well done Kresley. This book is amazing.
