Review: I figured, why not start these Harry Styles Fanfiction reviews with the one that first introduced me to Wattpad.  

I can't even remember exactly how I even ended up on Wattpad or how I can across this fanfiction in the first place. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with Tumblr...

I read PHANTOM in one, solid day and was in tears by the end of it. The description perfectly explains what you are in for. Harry plays a boy who was murdered years prior, his body was never found, and his killer was never caught. He enlists the help of the girl who eventually moves into his house. 

One of my favorite things about this book is that is plays with the typical cliches surrounding the afterlife. There are moments when she asks him if he can walk through walls and, a couple of scenes later, he figures out how to walk through walls. 

Without giving anything away: the introduction to Harry's character is as creepy as you would expect with him being dead, the suspense definitely heightens the more the mystery unravels, and the ending is not one you will forget in the near future. 

The relationship between the two leads progresses just as you would imagine the relationship between a dead boy and an alive girl. It's never borderline weird or gross. There's also no smut, so if you're looking for lemons, you will not find them here.
