Dewey Decimal Number: 813.6 EAN: 9781416547075 ISBN: 141654707X Label: Pocket Manufacturer: Pocket Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 384 Publication Date: 2008-04 Publisher: Pocket Sales Rank: 824 Studio: Pocket Editorial Review: Néomi Laress, a famous ballerina from a past century, became a phantom the night she was murdered. Imbued with otherworldly powers but invisible to the living, she haunts her beloved home, scaring away trespassers -- until she encounters a ruthless immortal even more terrifying than Néomi herself. To prevent him from harming others, Conrad Wroth's brothers imprison him in an abandoned manor. But there, a female only he can see seems determined to drive him further into madness. The exquisite creature torments him with desire, leaving his body racked with lust and his soul torn as he finds himself coveting her for his own. Yet even if Conrad can win Néomi, evil still surrounds her. Once he returns to the brutality of his past to protect her, will he succumb to the dark needs seething inside him? Related Items:

 Rating:  - Loooooved IT!!!I soared through this book. It was absolutely fabulous! The characters are unique, intriguing and oh so HOT. Conrad is one of the four Wroth brothers that we've heard about in previous novels. It had been a while since I've read one of the other three books in this series so I had to back track and read a few reviews before reading this one to remember the storyline. Although, to be honest, Cole did a great job of reminding the reader without it sounding redudent. Nikolai and Murdoch were the oldest and upon finding their four sisters dead and two younger brothers almost dead, they did the unthinkable and turned their brothers into vampires. Sebastian was not happy but eventually became okay with it since it led him to his Bride. Conrad took the whole vampire thing really hard because little did his brother's know becoming a vampire went against an extremely important vow Conrad took when he was young. Now adays he's simply going insane from all the blood kills he's made and his brothers have got it into his head they are going to save or die trying. I loved how Cole started off with affection between the two instead of just throwing them together and saying it's love. They fell in love with each other way before they even realized she was his Bride. It was really sweet! The kidnapping and ghost "thing" is a wonderful storyline. The whole Valkyrie "thing" is a laugh riot--Nix especially. I can't wait to read the next in series. Rating: - Something new...and OH SO GOOD!So I'm a fan of the TIAD series with A Hunger Like no Other being my favorite, No Rest for the Wicked being my least favorite, and Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night right smack in the middle. Dark Needs at Night's Edge definitely ranks right up there, if not surpassing A Hunger Like No Other as my favorite. What I appreciated so much about this book was the ROMANCE. So often, (I'm not going to go off on my "What happened to the romance in JR Ward's Lover Enshrined"), but back to my point.....I hate it when writers start out as romance authors and then "loose themselves" in subplots, urban fantasy, and boring conflicts/wars. It all becomes to bogged down, and if there isn't enough romance....I get lost and bored. That's me. With that all being said, this book does not disappoint the "romance first" type of reader. Neomi is a ghost and Conrad is a vampire on the verge of insanity. I don't usually like ghosts as players in a romance novel, but this one works. No one can see Neomi, but Conrad can. As he is held captive in her home... by his brothers.... who are seeking to save his soul...a friendship is born. Another thing that sometimes bothers me about paranormals is the whole "MINE" type of bonding. The instantness of the bond lacks the "build up" that is so important to me if I'm going to really "buy in" to a relationship. This one has all the build-up one could hope for. Conrad does not initially believe that Neomi is his bride because she is dead. He is incredibly dependent on her, and WITH HER is more "sane" than he's been in several hundred years! I love that. I won't give away any details, but this is a great book. The sensuality is "over the top". I found myself blushing several times...quite a feat when a book can do this to me after reading hundreds of romance novels! How can there be scorching romance between a ghost and a "mad" vampire. Read this one and find out. Cole does not disappoint. Rating:  - Enchanting Reviews: Dark Needs At Night's EdgeDARK NEEDS AT NIGHT'S EDGE (Book 4 in the Immortals After Dark series) KRESLEY COLE Rating: 4 Enchantments Conrad Wroth is an assassin, brutal, a stone-cold killer. He is a vampire who kills his prey by ripping out their throat and drinking their blood. He then acquires their memories and knowledge. This behavior is against the laws of the Forebearers, and if they catch him, he will die. He is also a vampire bent on revenge, killing the ones who turned him and made him like this - his brothers. His brothers are a part of the Forebearer Army and want to protect Conrad, from himself and from the Forebearer King. They devise a plan to kidnap him and imprison him in an abandoned mansion. Neomi Laress was a successful ballerina, murdered by an ex-fiance at the height of her career. By the force of her will, she stays to haunt her home and site of her death. She has relived the night of the murder each month for eighty years. No one can see her - that is no one until Conrad is imprisoned there. According to his brothers, this is just more evidence that the memories Conrad retains has made him crazy - he sees and talks to hallucinations. A ghost and a vampire...How can they fall in love? How can they consume their love? A vampire must be blooded by his Bride, the woman who will bring him to life. What does it mean that Neomi, as a ghost, can not blood him? Maybe she is not Conrad's fated mate after all? How will they overcome the obstacles inherent in a relationship between a ghost and a vampire? How will they surmount the complications that Conrad's profession brings? I love the world the Ms. Cole has created. It is seeped with mythical creatures and folklore, but completely with a completely unique and original take. She creates wonderful characters that you can't help rooting for. Conrad is a hero to cheer for. He fights internal demon's, but still has a code of honor (warped as it is). He is demanding, a killer, and apparently crazy, and yet it is easy to see why Neomi falls in love with him. Neomi is a charming heroine. She infuses the book with lightness, vibrancy, and cheer. What I love the most about this story is that Neomi and Conrad fall in love with each other before Neomi can blood Conrad. I couldn't wait to read how she made the situation work. Clever word-play and twists in the plot kept this reader engaged until the end. [...] The next book in the series, DARK DESIRES AFTER DUSK, comes out May 20 so fans don't have long to wait. dawn ENCHANTING REVIEWS May 2008 Rating: - Ten Stars************Action, Romance, Uber-Awesome VampI really enjoyed this book. JR Ward has to take notes, this is how you write a ghost book. Neomi was wonderful. She was happy, spirited, strong and kind. Conrad was a monster that turned into a wonderful mate. Conrad is comparable to Zsadist. Some of you know what I mean. This book has so much action, and self discovery. I loved it. The romance was sweet and sexy and thrilling. Great ending. I can't wait for Murdoch's and Rydstrom's book.
