To begin, I would like to say that I have currently read all of HKW's books, so that in itself should give you the first clue as to what I think of Heather and her books. If you don't like a book or author the first time you are introduced to them, you wouldn't buy 12 of their books in a few weeks, and then wait with baited breath, viewing their facebook page first thing every morning hoping for updates and tidbits, until each new tantalising treat is released.And that is what this book has certainly turned out to be.To me, a good book is one that can make you laugh out loud, enable you to feel the joy and fear of the characters as if they were real, make your heart pound and pulse race, and have you so on the edge of your seat that you can't stop reading until the end. This is what The Phantom King was for me in every sense. It is not only Thanatos and Siobhan that have you enthralled as you read, but the inclusion of every other one of your favourite characters, who you feel just as much emotion about. HKW has a way of linking her books and characters, supernatural beings and mortals, time and space, that leave you captivated, spellbound and hungering for more.I found The Phantom King to be just as good as I had hoped and more, and was not disappointed. If you have been drawn to Heather Killough Walden and The Phantom King, then this must be the type of author and book which appeals to you, or you wouldn't be taking the time to read this review. I can promise that you won't be disappointed, and to give fair warning, you may even become hooked, and may never be the same again after reading. I mean, what mortal man could ever stand a chance against Kings and Gods, Alpha males and Angels...If you have read other books by HKW, then you can definitely expect the same high level writing, tantalising storyline, and the depth, strength, loyalty, love and lust from all the characters you have grown to love and more.If this is your first introduction to HKW, then you are in for a treat. Don't forget to read The Vampire King first, and to get even more out of The Phantom King, I would most definitely recommend reading the Big Bad Wolf series also (which introduces you to some of the characters in The King's series).Hours of enjoyment are but a click away, so what are you waiting for???
