Phantom - Susan Kay
This is definitely a must-read for any Phantom fan! There are truly no words to explain the beauty and the humanity that Erik a.k.a. The Phantom possesses in this book. It made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me gasp in horror and tremble with anticipation. Susan Kay does a fantastic job capturing the war-ravaged heart of Erik, giving him a horrible, loveless background but a deep-set humanity that surpasses all expectations. It is needless to say that I fell in love with this man for the beauty of his feelings, the innocence in his heart and the darkness that threatens to consume his soul. Every narrative moment is precious and truly captivating. This is a book that I will definitely re-read it. Even if you're not a Phantom of the Opera fan, this is an excellent book all on it's own. You too will fall under his spell and reach out for that strong hand that lead you to the Music of the Night.
