Restless Spirit by Briana Michaels
5.0
This is a dark RH Romance that borders on insane - and makes you love the journey....
Everly is dead and desperate to feel. No one can see her, hear her or touch her - until one Halloween night at the Black Abby Club. There she meets Jack, a dangerous ma with secrets in his eyes and magic in his touch. He can see her, hear her and touch her - everywhere. Soon, Everly learns that not everything is as it seems, even herself. Taking his hand, she ventures into her own wonderland and discovers a past that holds a different name, lovers that touch her soul and a mission that, quite literally, killed her.
Overall, this is an epic ride that edges the border between sublime and taboo. Everly, real name Sara, is everything a lost Heroine should be, while her men each have strong personalities of their own (a facet of RH that far too many Authors neglect). The tried and true method of introduction - no one can see her, she's a ghost, blah blah blah, turned me off at first - as it follows a growing pattern in the RH genre. Yet that pattern soon veers and Sara comes into her own. These men, her Hell Hounds, ARE there to help her, but they have desires and needs of their own too. They truly stand apart, even if it ultimately comes down to the pack, and the Devil, in the end.
A wonderful introduction to a seductive new series.
