Dark Needs at Night's Edge (The Immortals After Dark, Book 4)

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.

As much as I like Kresley Cole's writing style, this book had too much angst on the heroine's side. We get to hear about her adventurous, take charge side but not much evidence is given once she decides to take matters in her own hands. This is still one of my favorite series' and Cole is still one of my favorite writers, but this was not the strongest story in the series.

I thought Wicked Deeds was my favorite...until I read Dark Needs at Night's Edge. I absolutely loved this book! It is the first time in the 4 books of this series that I read really late one night and finished it the next day. The others took me several days - including Wicked Deeds.

And I have to say that I initally didn't think the story would be THAT great - I mean a crazy vampire and a ghost??? What kind of love scenes could there be? Well, there are. And they are good. I didn't even mind that it took a bit to get to them because there is so much emotion between them.

Another reviewer said the book didn't have adventure. I liked it because of that. I want a book to be mostly about the romance and relationship. And this one is.

Now I'll start Cade's book. Though I can't imagine that one being better. We'll see.

I felt that this book was good but it really lacked adventure that was in the other books, it was a little boring- maybe because they didn't meet for a little while and when they did, their time together was mostly in the house. It was a pretty good book though, I really did enjoy the romance in it, but it just wasn't interesting enough or something, it lacked bite, even though conrad is a vampire, hehe...

I can't get enough of these books. They're like dessert, a treat every time. If you want a fun escape "The Immortals After Dark" series is for you. I'm forever a Kresley Cole fan.
