An apparition longs for his living wife.

A princess attempts to win his heart.

And soul-sucking creatures lurk just beyond the castle borders.

After a tragic event, Vivica’s spouse, Nils, dwells in the realm of ghosts and spirits. A love tale cut short, Nils continues to love his wife. Every day, he walks beside her, unseen, waiting for her soul to join him.

However, Nils isn’t the only one vying for Vivica’s soul. Evil monsters lurk in the forest, anticipating their next soul-filled meal.

The situation becomes even more complicated when a strange, tiny creature and a princess enter the picture.

Will Nils win the battle for Vivica’s eternal life, or will she perish forever, leaving Nils alone in the dimension where he landed for eternity?

The key to these questions lies in one place… Melantha.

A well-crafted paranormal romance...

V. A. Smith's "Melantha" sets the stage for the enthralling "Mansion of the Weeping Wings" series, immersing readers in a world where the boundaries between reality and the supernatural are blurred. The discovery of her late husband's ghost haunting her life marks a profound turning point for Vivica, forever altering her existence. However, an unforeseen encounter with a mysterious figure propels her into a realm far beyond the limits of her imagination. Here, she crosses paths with Melantha, a fearless princess on a mission to rescue her kingdom from the clutches of a merciless monster. United in purpose, Vivica, Melantha, and their newfound ally must summon unwavering strength and unwavering bravery to confront the malevolence lurking in the shadows. Their mission is clear - success is imperative, as failure could condemn them to an abyss of eternal darkness. Will they emerge triumphant against this daunting adversary, or will they become ensnared in its lethal grasp? Prepare for an exhilarating and otherworldly odyssey as you journey to uncover the answer.

Ah, so good! I loved the witchy vibes and never-ending secrets. This book takes star-crossed lovers to a new level. Smith does a great job of keeping you guessing at every turn while also building a world of fantasy hidden by shadows and different dimensions.
Vivica's constant struggle kept me turning every page, just so I could root for her! No spoilers, but Melantha was definitely my favorite in the end. Can't wait to see what happens next!

I did try to get into this book, I had high hopes. The writing seemed blocky, and I couldn’t get behind the misuse of grammar. I only made it into chapter four before I had to put it down. I love fantasy, and normally a book that captures you right from the beginning, unfortunately this book did not pull me in and for that I couldn’t continue to read it. I will look at giving it another go in the future but right now it is not something I am interested in.
