The Phantom King by Heather Killough-Walden, is the second in the King series. I have to say this book was great.  It was fast paced, constantly moving and new things were introduced.  With it being the second book in the series you could read it as a stand-alone and not be lost, but I recommend reading The Vampire King.  I read this in one sitting, what better way to spend mother's day than on the couch with a really good book.Siobhan is a warlock. She realized her powers at a young age, after accidentally hurting her mom. Since then she has only used her powers for good and not to harm.  In their world there are Akyri's.  Akyri's are drawn to a warlock's power and feed off of their magic kind of like a vampire would blood.  Little did she know that most powerful Akryi was trying to capture her.  Siobhan is a girl after my own heart; she loves old things and fast cars. She has a little magic to make them look better and go faster though, lucky girl.Thane is the Phantom King.  He is the King of Purgatory.  Purgatory is where souls that had wrongful and untimely deaths, go to die.  Thane meets a spirit that doesn't stay and is gone to find him, which ultimately leads to his finding Siobhan.  When they finely meet it is explosive.  So many things are happening at once.What's unfolding in the background made me go, wow.  I can't wait to see how everything is going to unfold and play into the other King books.  I also have to mention the changes in POV.  I love that, sometimes in a book you always wonder, " what did he think or feel?"  It's not continuous, but does happen at very strategic and important moments. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal romance and a bit of suspense.*I recieved a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
