sammymowheeler | 11 reseñas más. | Jan 19, 2016 | This was a DNF for me. I liked the new and fresh idea as well as the beautiful cover artwork. The storyline and the comparison to 'The Phantom of the Opera' was just to much for me though, I couldn't separate nor melt the two stories together in a way that would make me content. I really wanted to like this one. I couldn't get into the story and I felt no chemistry between Esti and either of the guys. See how you feel about it!

I often get frustrated at love triangles in YA books; two hot guys pining after a girl who doesn’t believe she’s pretty or worthy. This triangle has one hot guy, a guy swathed in black and masks, and a girl who can act and has some confidence in her abilities. This felt like a modern version of Phantom of the Opera without the singing, set in the Caribbean. I truly understood the attraction to both guys, knew which one I wanted Esti to chose, but understood the dilemma. I even teared up a bit at the end over her choice. That hasn’t happened in a long time for me.… (más)
