A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope by K.M. Moronova
5.0
Your Heart Will Break Wide Open With A Love Story That Transcends Time and Space
One of the sweetest, saddest, and most soulful love stories I have ever read.
I cried my heart out reading this book, and I mean that in the best way and for the best reasons possible. I had no idea that a paranormal romance between two tortured souls navigating loneliness and self-doubt in the afterlife would destroy me and put me back together again, but alas, it did.
K.M. Moronova artfully weaves together the stories of our MMC and FMC in a relatable way. We feel what they are feeling, we see the world through their eyes, and we hold our breath as they try to figure out love in the light, and sometimes darkness, of the universe.
The MMC is strong, soft, sweet, determined, earnest, present, and vulnerable. After meeting him as a beautiful and brave friend in the Fabric of Our Souls, I am so grateful that the author invited us deeper into his world. His story is so important. He is the friend we all wish we had, but as an individual, he could very easily fade into the background. This story is a reminder that even though sometimes we may feel like an extra on the set of our own lives, our stories are never over when we think they are.
Our FMC is slow to receive the tenderness and care that she finds in the MMC, and the struggle is relatable because she lived a human life without that tenderness.
There were so many elements of this book that resonated with me, far too many to list here, but the fated encounters, the healing of wounds, the trust, the deep vulnerability, and the growth all created a beautiful and intimate world where two forgotten and fragile souls build a powerful and everlasting connection.
This book is a beautiful and healing love story and a happily ever after in the afterlife.
