Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I tried very hard to get through this book and was very relieved to get to the last page. I didn't enjoy this at all and thought the melodramatic "Phantom" was awful and the love triangle between him, his...

I even find myself reading ahead from time to time to see what happens next. I never read this one before and I never even saw ...
