"The Phantom King" (TPK) is the second installment in The Kings series and it doesn't fail to live up to its predecessor. HKW has an amazing story telling ability where you are laughing, crying, echoing the frustration or turmoil her characters are undergoing at the very same time.TPK's story surrounds Thantos (Thane) the Phantom King who lords over the souls of mortals who have died in accidental deaths. His is a kingdom of perpetual Purgatory and Siobhan, a female warlock that just may be his red Queen. When they come together, electricity is sparked and magic (no pun intended) happens. The question is, can Thane convince Siobhan that she is his true queen when hers has been a life of hiding her abilities and never letting them control her?The characters from her Big Bad Wolf series make their own appearances within this book and you feel as though you are catching up with old friends.I love the marrying of mythological and paranormal beliefs and occurrences within the story. Who doesn't wish that there was some prime, alpha male just lurking around the corner waiting for you to claim as their other half? This story is a wonderful follow up - but could serve as a standalone if you haven't had the pleasure of reading "The Vampire King". Personally, I cannot wait for the next installment. If you know HKW, there will be teasers and excerpts to help ease the time frame. :)If anyone has read any of my other reviews, you will know that I HATE (with a passion) to give more of the story than what you've initially read in the actual product description. HKW's storytelling ability needs to unfold to the reader itself and I highly recommend every single story of hers, as I've had the pleasure of reading them all.
