Publisher's summary

A dark, modern, romantic retelling of the classic Phantom of the Opera. But this time, the man behind the mask won’t stop until she is his.

She is my muse, and I am her demon of music.

A year ago, I witnessed sweet Scarlett Day’s dark side. She’s been my obsession ever since.

I was content with being her secret, content with protecting her from afar… until an enemy from my past sets his sights on her.

Our families have a deep history of hatred, and Scarlett is caught in the middle.

Meanwhile, her mind plays tricks on her. When a panic attack goes horribly wrong, I emerge from the shadows to save her.

Now that she’s mine, I can’t let her go.

I’ve mastered the darkness. She tempts me with her light.

But when my mask is gone, will she fear the monster underneath?

Phantom is a spicy story set in modern-day New Orleans and a complete standalone in the Tattered Curtain series. Guaranteed HEA. Contains mature content.

so good

I loved it they captured Sol and Scarlett to a T. you won't be disappointed.

Phantom with HEA and IRL scenarios

NARRATION Speed 1.5x
Zara Eden voice is decent also not the greatest but her voice is parallel to the male narrator.
Michael Pierce is not the greatest or what I expected from the "Phantom". Also the distinction between his character was not sufficient. He also added a lot of random growls which was fine in certain scenarios but in others it felt like a bit much.

STORY
The story itself is not bad, it deals with real life problems and mental health issues plus the stage of grief while also highlighting that grief has many different forms. The story is a HEA and its truly the ending that we wanted all along with these characters.

Scarlett Day
This character is portrayed like the one from the movie/play/musical BUT she has a strong personality that can be irritating. She wants to make everyone happy, wants to be in the light, but then once in the light want to compose music.

Sol Bordeaux
This character is annoying because he doesn't have a reason to had but chooses to and takes on the persona of the "Phantom". I loved the fact that the other gave him family and people that he is close to. He even interacts with different characters and isn't only a man hidden in the walls.

3.5

This book was a little slow for me to get into. I did enjoy it overall.

best dark romance book.

This book, takes you in a emotional roller coaster. Dark mafia mixed with the phantom of the opera. I could not ask for a better book. I never wanted to story to end. I need a sequel.

Dark retelling

I really liked this audiobook. I read the book when it came out and when I saw it was on audio now I had to listen. I liked how the author updated the retelling of this story. 🌶️🌶️🌶️spicy and everything gets answered no cliffhangers. It’s worth a listen 🖤🖤😊

Looks like fan fiction. Is fan fiction

Really wanted to love this book, but just didn't. The male narrator was awful. Made me think I was listening to a news caster from the 40s. Only took a semester of french in college, but I feel everything I heard was wrong. Not even sure why they put french in the story. it was corny and cringe to me.
Felt like the author visited New Orleans once and never went back. If I had to hear about cafe du monde one more time, I thought I might throw my phone across the room.
There was a lot of hype for this book on bookstagram, and I feel like I was conned.
Not necessarily the wrist book I've ever read, but it's not one I'll ever read again.
Feel like this book would have done well with a good editor and cutting all of the new Orleans cliches.

One of my only returns

Let me start off by saying right off that bat that I LOVED this book. The story was great. The awareness of bipolar disorder, great. What I couldn’t stand… the Narrators. Specially the male narrator. I made it as far as him completely butchering the French in this book and had to stop and return the audiobook then and there. His narration was already terrible but when there is another language and the narrator doesn’t bother to do their research to learn the correct pronunciation of the words… nope, couldn’t stomach it.
I love the author and still wanted to support her so I immediately got on her website and ordered the physical book, but I just couldn’t continue to listen to the terrible narration because it was ruining the book for me.
Sad to see it’s the same narrators for the next two books. I guess I will just have to read them myself.

It was good

I love the fact how everything unfolds at the end which is crazy and vengeance was good.

uhg the narrators

both narrators made it difficult to enjoy this book. both seem to over play the store

Great story!!

I read this story last month and I really enjoyed it, and listening to the audio gave me the feeling of being in the middle of it all along with Sol and Scarlett!
