5 Stars ~ PHANTOM NIGHTS by Nola Sarina

So. Much. YES!

I devoured this book during a recent flight and was kicking myself for not downloading the other books in the VESPER series before we took off. Nola Sarina writes the best openings EVER, has fabulous, clean writing, and an awesome story line here. This book (though part of a series) stands alone.

What I loved: There’s something magical about a magnetic first line, and Nola Sarina has a knack for them. I was hooked from the first sentence. I loved the MC, and I especially loved her struggle with mental illness and her constant wondering if what she was seeing was real. The writing is fabulous. The plot kept me glued, and I’m still fanning myself from the heat. Did I mention I LOVE the cover? Creepy and hot and perfect.

What I didn’t love: There was only one thing that stood out as I was reading, and that was the MC’s reaction to an assault she thwarted in a park. It was a hard sell for me to see someone turn their back on an assailant (even if he was knocked out). However, I LOVED how the MC totally beat the shit out of him, and I think I actually punched the air when he went down (and my fellow British Air passengers were jealous their reads were nowhere near as interesting as mine.) Bad. Ass.

This story stuck has stuck with me for almost a month now. And that’s why it’s hands-down 5 stars.

Summary:

The insanity Samantha has faced in her life pales compared to the darkness she must face – and defeat – to save the demon she loves.

Samantha Murphy isn’t afraid of the hallucinations that plague her nights. Phantoms aren’t real. They can’t hurt her. But then she meets a phantom who shakes her faith in her own psychosis: the impossibly fast and charming Sychar. He’s a Vesper… enslaved by a dark master and forbidden to consort with humans.

As Samantha and Sychar embark on a relationship with the hottest passion and most terrifying stakes, Sychar proves to her how real he is. Demons exist, and this one cares about her, crazy and all.

But the darkness she’s seen in her life pales in comparison to what she must face—and defeat—to save the man she loves.

Praise for VESPER books:

Paranormal action, suspense, drama, a bit of romance, and the aching feeling at the end that you have to read MORE!”

New York Times Bestselling Author A. Meredith Walters

“…a fresh paranormal concept, very tight storytelling… explosive new series that is just a tad darker but every bit as intriguing as some of the best…”

BittenByBooks

 “By using interesting methods for character development, different supernatural ideas, and good writing techniques, Nola Sarina was able to create a story that I could not put down.”
