Golden Skulls MC #7
Phantom
My name is Phantom.
I am the club’s Golden sister.
My past is my own or so I thought.
The past is a fickle thing.
Some people can forget, some ignore it, while others fear it.
I’ve tried all three.
I’ve tried everything I could to forget my past but my nightmares refuse to let me.
One thing remains the same, the past has a funny way of biting you in the ass when you least expect it.
The club now knows my whole truth.
They want vengeance and I can’t stop them.
Ascari is coming for me and they want to bathe in his blood.
I’ve been running for so long that it’s second nature to me.
I planned on doing that very thing again after the wedding.
When I wake up and my past is staring me in the face, I’m left with no choice but to face it head-on.
He deserves answers.
Answers I’m not ready to give.
We’ve lost so much that I know there’s no turning back.
No more running.
No more hiding.
It’s kill or be killed.
When my past collides with my present, blood flows.
Mess with me and my brothers will come…all of them.
This is the 7th book in the Golden Skulls M.C. & book 9 in the continuing saga with The Valentinetti Crime Family. I highly suggest reading the books in order.

"She give me a heart that only beats for you." 💖
I loved this book as much as possible. She's amazing. She's beautiful. It touches every corner of your soul. Phantom is such an amazing and beautiful girl that it is impossible not to love her. She's come a long way. A very dark and perverse path. They did something to her that not every man can survive. But she could. Yes, this path was not easy because the consequences were terrible. Everything that was possible was taken away from her. And when I say that it's literally EVERYTHING. She was strong on the outside, she wouldn't let anyone down, but inside she was a broken woman who had experienced terrible things. To be honest, I didn't want her to be Bullseye. Well, because if you have reached this book, then you will understand me. But the whole puzzle has been put together in this book. The Bullseye is what the Phantom needed. She's his lost soul. Which he found after all this time. And I was happy to watch them. They deserved it. Her Marine is with her again 😊☺️

My Marine
Dylan better know as Bullseye is a swoon worthy Hero. I love is character, he is loyal and loves hard. Lena better know as Phantom seems to put up a good fight but eventually breaks down. I like to know if she decides anything about her fertilized eggs.
Reaper and Bullseye let me tell you I still don't think we have all the answers about how much they actually know. To me this book had a somewhat HFN between Lena and Dylan. But will that last with people still out to get them all?

Rebecca Joyce is a genius!!!!
The story she has woven with words over the course of this series is fabulous.
There is never a dull moment. I can never guess what is going to happen next. The secrets that just keep coming absolutely astound me.
It's like the gift that keeps on giving.
I have been waiting for more on Bull for what feels like forever, and Phantoms story didn't disappoint.
I absolutely adored Bull before, but after reading phantoms story, I fell hard.
He's mine! I claim him, and none of u can have him!
I have mixed feelings about the next book because I can't wait for its release but I'm pretty sure its also the last in the series and I'll have absoulutley nothing to look forward to once it's out there.
I have never read an MC series quite like this one, and it will be a definite re-read of mine again and again.

Absolutely stunning book. Phantom n bullseye omg
The plot thickens with so many twists, im trying to catch a chapter in between going out for Christmas lunch etc.
Bulleyes, dylan- utter perfection, we all need a Dylan dont we?
Its fast paced, convoluted n action packed.
Some story was missing as I refused to pay €6 for the wedding book and rather cynically Joyce has decided the grand finale book we need to pay for too €5.99 rather than on ku. Not a way to win readers joyce. Infact if I didnt love Dylan so much I wouldn't have bought his book and would have left the series already.
2 problems I have with Joyce on this:the whole series is on ku except the wedding n Dylans book. Be consistent. Either have your entire series on ku or don't, but this half arsed crap just pisses readers off.
Secondly €5.99 for a kindle book is way over priced. Like double. Lower your prices!! Not everyone can pay or justify this kind of money for a book ffs.
Such a shame cos these books are fantastic.
My last complaint is the sex scenes. Example Dylan n phantom have sex, starts off she gives him an amazing blow job, he comes in her mouth, he reciprocated n then they have sex. Great scene, but then no Joyce has phantom giving him another blow job. I mean ffs!!! Learn when less is more. The sex scenes in these books frankly spoil the books, she always has then having sex at the end of the book by which time I'm bored n skip and she is over the top on performance, I mean come on!! They just go on n on. Not a turn on but a turn off. The books are good enough without the gratuitous sex scenes!!!

Present day story continues half way through.
The reason for giving 3 stars only is because the continuation of the story from the previous book does not begin until approximately half way through the book. The first half is the re-telling of Phantom's story, admittedly with a few extra details but not enough to keep me engrossed.
The author has used her tremendous talent to stretch her long and convoluted plot over several books, and I will admit that I still find some of the twists and actions in this extremely long series to be confusing. I cannot understand it all, but now think it needs a fresh approach, new ideas and events unrelated to the previous plot, to move this MC along.
The intimate scenes are becoming jaded and monotonous and I skipped most of these. The editing has still not been addressed throughout and maybe the author should now update this as it detracts from a good series.
Overall I have enjoyed the series, but if you don't start with book 1 and work your way through, you will miss so much and not get as much enjoyment from reading. Happy Reading!

Just Wow
Gosh, its hard to think when reading such a dramatic and intense story. Its true when they say you have to read this series from the start, because my gosh theres so so much that has gone on in this club, and it was heartbreaking to here of Phantoms story along with Dylan, they have such history.
Im going to keep this short because to much said will spoil this book for all. But i can say this to get where Phantom is today, is a miracle and strenth, but the one man who is after her head, his face still has not been seen and now they know who he is, he is coming for her again. But its the one man she has always loved that has come and saved her again.
This book just has to be read, for some there are warnings so if you have triggers its best not to read the first few chapters. If i could i would give more than five stars, this really deserves it.

Phantoms past had been a mystery to those closest to her, but now her past is back and chaos will ensue, reaping havoc. In the aftermath of Remi and Reapers wedding, only one man knew the whole truth of her past but can Dylan be the one to hold what's left behind together? Will a fresh start ever be on the horizon? This is the story we've all be waiting for, Phantoms past will be reveled in heartbreaking detail, and with the devastation of the Golden Skulls youl be hooked to find out what happens next! With action, violence, dark themes, drama and more a great addition to the series

Fast paced, high intensity read with plenty of steam and action
This book provides both the backstory for Phantom aka Lena and Bullseye aka Dylan and provides her personal POV regarding the events in past books prior to presenting us with the events occurring during the current timeline. The sexual tension between the two radiates off the page as they struggle to fight their past, understand who they've become, and survive those who wish them harm.

I’m so hooked!!!
I wish there was a complete flow chart of players in this saga!! It’s so hard to keep some of it straight and who is related to who and how this came about and when this happened and more!
I just want Togo back in the story line and check on the facts of what we know and who is connected where and to who?
Yes a family tree and a story line would be great!!
You rock Rebecca Joyce

Great story!!
This is Lena / Phantom and Dylan / Bullseye 's story.
This is a well written action packed, emotionally charged story, with found family, friendships, danger, suspense, intrigue, lies, betrayal, secrets, loyalty, challenges, trust, soulmates, undeniable chemistry, and unconditional love, which all leads to an entertaining, tragic, and unpredictable captivating page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Read in the recommended order! These books are amazing! You definitely want to read in order so you understand everything that has went on and get the full effect! Be prepared your heart will break. These are action packed and unfortunately not everyone makes it. Some of my favorite characters have died! They’re so good though.

4.5 stars
Phantom’s story was so much more than I’d been expecting. She’d always been the enigmatic and secretive member of the Golden Skulls, with wicked skills and a fierce determination. Delving deeper into her history and her one true love affair - really felt like the story was coming full circle.
This series gets better with every instalment.

Good
This book was really good. Finally having at least some kind of a conclusion. What I did not like was about a quarter of the book was just copied parts from some of the previous books. I understand giving information from previous things that have happened, but the exact words didn't need to be used. Overall it was very enjoyable.

Then her relationship Bullseye their past now out in the open. They are soulmates. Found love in the most unlikely place. LOVE LOVE THIS SERIES. But we learn more about them in Dylan next book.

this series is amazing
I can’t get enough of this series. Rebecca Joyce is truly an incredible writer. The drama and suspense is just so intense that you are on the edge of your seat waiting for something else to happen. The sensuality is off the charts. Phantom is a great read. I loved her character. She suffered so much. Her hea was good for the soul. Incredible read.

Phantom brings everything full circle, almost. Filled with TONS of chaos, danger, excitement and surprises, the Skulls do what they do best, fight. Especially when it's brought to their door this time.

Skimmed though this book because I was getting tired of reading all the characters getting killed. Imagine my surprise when Remi was still alive.

Man, I'm glad some of the twists and outcomes were found out. I was REALLY not liking Dylan. I was treading reading his book. Glad he turned out to be a good guy. :)

The Golden Sisters past meets her future.... Tired of running and being alone after living in the darkness for so long, she finds what was once ripped away from her. Another chance at love, but will the forces at work allow for that to happen? With her Golden brothers now knowing every sordid detail of her past they surround her and help bring light to her darkness. As some things will come to a conclusion others will develop.
This book contains part of previous books BUT must be read to see things from this characters POV. This adds to the story line.
This was a darker read with her past but to see our Golden Sister find her way when the deck is stacked against her is beautiful.
This book is not a standalone and should be read in the recommended order. This book helps connect multiple series by the same author.
This is the 7th book in the Golden Skulls MC and the 10th in the multiple series reading order.
