This is something I didn't know I was craving, and I am in LOVE!
This book was a modernization of the novel/musical “The Phantom Of The Opera” reimagined as a mafia romance, but this time the FMC chooses the Phantom (something I've always wished for). Some of the music innuendos and analogies were cheesy, and there were far too many “demon of music” and “my muse” nickname repetitions, but it was a small price to pay. Though this most likely would not be a 5 star read for everyone, it was personal to me as the original story has been such a pillar of my personality and awakened my adolescent interest in dark romance, which has now come full circle as an adult.
