I read where someone said this was just like all the other paranormal romance stories. Tall, alpha types, lots of sexy parts etc, etc. Well, sort of. Behind these stories, no matter how much they may have in common on the surface (after all, it IS fiction and how many situations can you have with Vampires, Were's, etc.?)Come to think of it.....LOTS of situations. This author has it right on the mark as if this was strictly a good mystery, suspense story. Only difference is, the characters just aren't your people next door exactly. If you actually READ the story, not just skim over it, you'll find quite a suspenseful situation going on. Does it go against the story if the Hero/Heroes are tall, dark, and handsome and also have fascinating dental work? I could live with that!This story is about Thane, the Phantom King, his Realm is the Purgatorial one. It is desolate, it is lonely and I wondered, when he was mentioned briefly in the first novel, "The Vampire King" if this poor guy was ever going to have anyone to stay with him, if nothing else to at least talk to! Jeeze, his existence there seemed more like a punishment than his own Realm. But, with this story, he gets to have company! Yaay Thane. You won't be disappointed in this story if you truly like the dark mysteries, with a little lightness here and there and some really good romance along the way and not the kind that just smothers you with every other sentence. I am anxiously awaiting "The Warlock King" and any others that come along.
