The whole story switched from Celine and Bastien to Pippa and Arjun. While I like they're characters, the book wasn't grasping my interest.
Add in the fact that almost every page had to bring racism into the picture, iy just really made the book not fun for me. I'm all for learning from the past and representation, but this just felt like hatred and division.
I decided to look up some reviews after the first 60 pages. They weren't promising.
Very disappointed. I loved the first 2 books.

I have read this book before many years ago. I loved it just as much this time. Phantom of the Opera and Sherlock Holmes are some of my favorite works of fiction. This book is a perfect blending of the two. I highly suggest it for any Phantom lover.

It was over the top sexual with no plot and silly abuse. The writing style was not one I found gripping or entertaining.
