First, I'd like to thank the publisher for an uncorrected proof via Netgalley in exchange for this honest review.

Phantom Heart starts off fascinating and incredibly atmospheric.  The haunted house, the witty protagonist, the ghost hunters.  It was neat, unfortunately, the romance elements were really weak and disturbing.

I don't know the source material (The Phantom of the Opera), so I'm not sure how much of this romance deviates from it, but it had me cringing, especially in the last third of the book.

That on top of a writing style that felt stilted, slow pacing and being too long in general, I don't think this book is for me.
