This was a 3/5 stars at the beginning, because it wasn’t super investing. Then, at the middle, it was 4/5, to finally end as a 5/5. This was a play, a song, in written form. It was so beautifully crafted, so poetic.
I highly recommend listening to the audiobook version of this story instead of reading it. The narrator Caitlin Kelly brought the characters to life in a way I had never heard a voice actor do before. Paired with Caitlin, this story was music and it was unstoppable. A force to be reckoned with, especially because the author did not shy away from a genuinely morally grey main female character.

What a BEAUTIFUL hidden gem this book was! It captured my heart and had me on the edge of my seat - I could not put this down!
Grateful to this book for getting me out of my 2021 major book slump with its hauntingly beautiful story and characters!

I received an eArc of this book from Books Forward Friends on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book was such a beautiful and heart breaking story! It's based off of the Phantom of the Opera. Kind of like a gender bend version, but also with some really interesting magic thrown in. I've honestly never read a book quite like this one.
The main character is an outcast because of what she was born as. She lives hiding in the dark and staying away from all but the man who saved her life as a baby. Then, one day, she hears this beautiful tenor voice singing and becomes entranced.
The story is filled with romance, loss, adventure, mystery, and magic. I would recommend anyone who loves any of these to give it a chance! I also don't recall a ton of curse words, if any. Definitely an amazing read!!

I was really excited about this one, since it’s a Phantom of the Opera retelling, but ultimately it didn’t wow me. It definitely felt more “inspired” by Phantom than an actual retelling. Emeric’s character was adorable and sweet. Seeing hints of darkness in Isda’s character would grab my attention when it was waning, but ultimately I wanted more of an anti-hero/villainous character from someone who’s supposed to be a gender-bent Phantom. I think a lot of readers will find the ending unsatisfying as well.
