My rating: Liked It

Néomi Laress is a ghost who lives in the same house she was brutally murdered in. Elancourt was a classic gothic estate but is now abandoned.

As a human she was a famous ballet dancer.


Conrad Wroth is a fallen vampire who kills for blood and whose eyes have turned red. Fallen vampires are hunted down by the forebearers because they are dangerous and because the memories of their victims make them crazy.

After Sebastian, Nikolai and Murdoch find their brother, they bring him to Elancourt bound and chained ensuring his safety. I thought it strange that Conrad was the only one who could see .....the beautiful female.


Néomi is a gentle ghost and the most sensual if ever there was such a thing. She could move things with her mind and scared unwanted guests if she had to, but she began having strong feelings for Conrad right from the start and she made him want to be a better person/vampire.

Néomi contacted Mariketa the witch to see about giving her a body. She might be a powerful witch but she could not bring Néomi back from the dead. However she was able to embody Néomi for awhile under the understanding that she would die again very soon . During that short period of time Conrad came back to life. He was blooded and claimed Néomi for himself and eventually got married yadda yadda yadda

I liked all the characters in this book particularly Nix. Who doesn't like her right? She's my favourite.
