moly this was fantastical and Julian really came into his own in this second book so sinister with such devilish intent, a master of manipulations and halftruths.
He is a master at his trade and knowing when to play his hand,
I adored that the cat had been let out of the bag in regards to Charles real identity and loved how devilishly mischievous Julian was while reaquatinting Alice with his extra ghostly abilities.
I adored Julian hes such a conundrum of contradictions and I dont think even he is fully aware of what he really wants,
Wanting to protect Alice while at the same time also being her greatest threat,
We get such an indepth glimpse of the inner workings of Julian here and start to understand just why he is the way he is,
I swung from being sympathetic because of his deepburied fears while at the same time shaking my head in pure disbelief,
But even when he was at his worst I still wanted to put my arms around him and give him a big hug,
He was so beautifully contrite and sorrowful when he knew he had done wrong and gone too far and he just seemed so alone,
It was like he just couldnt help himself when temptation was put before him and he was his own worst enemy,
Julian at heart was lonely and empty and Alice is the spark that jumpstarts his cold heart and though he thinks he doesnt deserve her love he is still prepared to do whatever necessary to possess and keep her for his own.
Hes ruthless and pragmatic and believes the end justify the means,
Alice well its her love and free choices that will ultimately save Julian,
Her ability to eventually accept all his parts even the ones that frighten and disgust her was a challenge but nothing worth really having is easy,
The chemistry between Julian and Alice was electric and made me tingle right down to my toes,
Every erotic encounter was delicious and made me practically shiver in delight,
Lucky lucky Alice is all I can say,
I adored these two together and loved where they eventually ended up,
The fact that Julian was so far from a hero really made it that much more delicious,
Both Julian and Alice grew a lot as individuals throughout and I loved that Alice accepted her man despite his flaws that she was able to look beyond the surface to what was beneath.
Julian and Alice have got to be one of my favourite book couples ever and I also really appreciated the epilogue,
This really was such a fabulous duet and I highly recommend this unique read,
I could wax lyrical all day about this masterpiece I am that enthused with it,
And If I could give this more than five I bloody would it was that good,
This one gets a massive hell yeh from me, give it a try its fabulous,

Too stupid to live, .
Well yea, both of the main characters were, Not to mention crazy. .
Anyway, I liked this one a bit better than the first book, only because the last quarter made up for the blandness of the first three quarter, Although the ending was a little rushed in my opinion, I got to read a darker, more conniving Julian, which was what I had been looking for since book one.
This was my first read about romance between ghost and human, and it was okay, I guess, . . I get to read something different once in a while, fans self vigorously The love affair with Julian Strande continues,
Summary:
The conclusion to the Impossible Julian Strade Series picks up right where the first left off, Alice is working on solving the mystery around Mr, Strande and the haunted mansion, Julian is working on taunting Alice and testing her patience and cleverness, Secrets come to light, and Alice is tested in more ways than one,
:
The dark fun continues in sitelinkGhosts amp Liars, Such a whirlwind of emotion, secrets, and magic, I was dying to find out how Alice would react to some of the big reveals and Kat did not disappoint, There were some serious emotional scenes, there were some extremely playful scenes, Overall, I absolutely loved it and had a blast,
What I liked:
Alice really shines in this book, She is resourceful, intelligent, and intuitive, Probably my favorite heroine of Kat's so far, Her choices in the book were wonderful and she had great character development,
The house was like a character in this series, Can we get a fan pic of the map I loved the descriptions of it and felt like I went on the journey with Alice,
Julian Strande of course returns in all his tricky, ghost glory, He had some wonderful moments as well as some not so wonderful moments, His development was raw and imperfect but that is who he is as a character, I had so much fun getting to know him and now I claim him for myself, Sorry Alice. Not sorry
What I didn't like:
Okay, just like in my first review there is some time jumping here that took me out of the setting a little bit.
Final Thoughts:
I LOVED this series, Something new and unexpected, that's for sure, I will forever purchase and support anything sitelinkKathryn Ann Kingsley writes, Her brand of villain romance is so awesome and I DEVOUR each book every time I get one, I'll be there for the next one!

I received the ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review,
originally posted to my blog, sitelinkWandering Worlds, Absolutely loved this series! is it too soon to reread it! Do you know how hard it is to find good sexy ghost gifs Well, I'm here to tell you, it's not easy.
Or perhaps I just lack that set of skills,
This one came up in my search and even though I don't understand why, I'll leave it here for your enjoyment, Jason Momoa grinding in his skivvies is always relevant, Right
Right, Okay. So on to the review!
This is part two of the story of Julian Strande and the love of his unlife, Alice Monroe, It picks up right where the first book left off, and announces a few of its secrets right off the bat, A lot of the mystery surrounding Charles and Julian is cleared up by the first few chapters, at least to the reader, Alice isn't so lucky.
We follow Alice as she solves the intricate puzzles of the mansion and Julian, which honestly got a little monotonous to read after a while, You can't really solve them yourself, you just have to take her word for it, So I was a bit bored with that, but shockingly it was all over within the firstof the book,
Then we got the goods, . . a whole lotta ghost sex, baby!
Of course, they can't just have an HEA, Julian is dead for chrissakes, and he's a huge villainous asshole, He's not exactly a good guy, As Alice learns more about him, he becomes quite horrible to her, There's some sort of boyish charm about him, though, I found that I couldn't really decide how I wanted it all to end, Does she get away Does she get trapped Does she decide to stay I didn't know what I wanted to see happen, Because of that, I think I was happy with how it all played out, And the epilogue was cute as hell, I can't lie,
All in all, this was a really fun and unique read! The writing was great, and there were very few parts that dragged, It was exciting and suspenseful and just super entertaining, Yay, magic! Yay, ghost sex!
I cannot say enough, how much I loved this book! It was a continuous rollercoaster ride from the start and I loved every moment, twist and turn.
Julian and Alice are so deep and filled with emotion, especially for each other it was a joy to read, I love the way that Kathryn writes, as it made me feel like I was actually the character as I was reading, from her being so realistic with her wording and packing it full with emotions.
Once again the character development was great to see throughout
the book, I also really enjoyed being able to see how Julian though things through or read about many of the internal debates he would have in his head.
Poor Alice goes through the emotional wringer but she endures and couldn't be happier, I love that we see how evil and twisted Julian can be and see all the past horrors he's committed, and how he also shows us his vulnerable side and also the past trauma he had went through as a child, and Alice is still able to love him.
I do also have to say that one of my favorite parts in this book which I admit I have a ton is the timed handcuffs This book is a MUST READ!!! I'm also just a bit sad that its over, but happy with how it closed.
