Leah Hultenschmidt: “I was immediately swept away by how evocative this book is – foggy nights, pounding hoofbeats, evil spectres. And the hero had a lot of the attributes that have always made vampires so popular–superstrength, unworldly powers, forced to rein in a dark side–but isn’t a vampire. It’s a gothic paranormal historical.”

TGTBTU: “It’s a gothic paranormal historical.” Need we say more? Honestly most of the paranormal historical novels I have tried haven’t worked for me. Other than Kathryn Smith’s Vamps I can’t think of one off the top of my head I LOVED. But toss in gothic and I am always interested in seeing what the author comes up with. Ok and I have a stack of them on my tbr pile… I have hope I can’t help it.

Every night at midnight Dax could start to feel the change. The curse that made him less human as the Phantom inside struggled to take over. Then he would hear the ghost riders—their pounding hoofbeats drawing ever nearer, reminding him that he was never safe. Nor were the ones he loved.

As a girl, Robyn had pledged herself to him. But that was a lifetime ago. Now she was a woman. Beautiful. Pure. Every time she was near—her soft skin, her delicate scent—the Phantom wanted to claim her, to bring her body to the greatest heights of pleasure. Then steal her soul. Dax couldn’t allow that to happen. He was supposed to be protecting her. But deep down, he knew her love could save him. If the Phantom didn’t get her first.
