Synopsis

Rebecca has always loved Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera and when the school decides to stage the play she decides that just being part of the ensemble isn't good enough. She and her two best friends decide to audition, there is where she meets "Lord Justyn" a mysterious goth with a beautiful voice and eyes she just can't turn from.

After getting her dream role as Christine she discovers that there might be more then one phantom in this play, one that likes to play dangerous games and will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants.

Review

Where should I start this book just put me through a lot, from eye rolling after reading a corny phrase and made me want to dig a little deeper for more, to dropping the book for half a day because I had no idea why the author did somethings.

This book also has a love triangle between the Justy the new kid in town with a beautiful voice and goth preference, and Tom the basketball star/surfer that has always had the main role in the school plays. The love triangle isn't as strong as it could be, but the attraction between Justyn and Becca is off the charts and flow perfectly, the time when they are together are the parts that I enjoyed the most.

One of the things that didn't really shine in this book is the impending threat of the "phantom" and how the tragedy's that befall the supporting characters don't really affect you the way they should, you don't really feel sorry for them (well at least I didn't), and when tragedy strikes them it's more like a "oh well" instead of really impacting you and/or leaving you shocked about what just happened.

I liked this book, it could be better but it was a little journey that I enjoyed.
