I don’t normally read novellas, I’m not sure why but I usually don’t. I think the reason I decided to read this one is because I know this series is coming to an end and I absolutely love this series. But this book was too short.

Midnight Marked (Chicagoland Vampires, #12)

Synopsis:
Vampires generally aren’t afraid of things that go bump in the night, but Merit and Ethan are extra jumpy after a recent attack by a dark sorcerer. So when they learn that someone is messing with graves in Chicago’s cemeteries, stealing skulls and snatching souls, they fear that their powerful foe might be back for even more magical vengeance.

But after a specter begins haunting Cadogan House—and targeting vampires—they realize that their being taunted by an altogether different sort of monster. A ghoulish villain straight out of the Windy City’s urban legends is on the prowl—and he won’t stop until he’s killed again…

Review:
Phantom Kiss offers a more intimate glimpse into Ethan and Merits romantic life, which I loved! The book opens with Merit and Ethan’s engagement party. And we all know how much Merit enjoys a good party, especially one involving her family. But the night quickly turns from a social party to one of business when they find out graves are being disturbed and ghosts are being summoned. I had a hard time seeing why Merit and Ethan would be called about this. I know it was explained in the book, but I guess I’m having a hard time making the connection. 

The rest of the book goes by quickly. Did I mention this book was too short? I didn’t love the book but that’s mostly because of the short length. Phantom Kiss included most of the characters that Chicagoland Vampires fans love and didn’t contain anything essential to the overall plot of this series. Again, not something I would buy but something that was pleasant to read.
