Beneath the Porcelain Mask

I struggled against the crowd, fighting to get to the aisle. With my heart in my throat, the screams of hundreds of people in my ears and Jeremy out of sight, I couldn't help but panic. Another chorus of raised voices arose and fingers pointed to the ceiling. I followed their direction. That was the moment my world stopped.
The chandelier was coming down.

Nikki de La Chance holds more secrets than the Opera House itself.

Beneath her porcelain mask lies a lifetime of pretences and deceit, though none as secretive as that of her friendship with another masked murderer: The Phantom of the Opera. Nikki is sure she has everything she could ever want: a job, a lifelong friendship with the Phantom and control over practically every element in her life. That is, until Jeremy Desrosiers stumbles into her heart and shows her just how little power she has ever had over her fate.

With the Phantom falling into a bottomless pit of insanity over young soprano, Christine Daae, and the enticingly cheery, youthful nature of her new friend Jeremy offering something more than lies and empty truths, Nikki is torn between a life of darkness and music and the unfamiliar world of light and comfort. But can she learn to let go of what little control she has left before she is dragged beyond rescue into the Phantom's shadowy world?

Warning! Pheels throughout! This book might make you cry!
