Extended description

Dark Musicals Trilogy, Book 1

The “Phantom” was a musical phenomenon that Rebecca had always found enchanting. She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses “Phantom” as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker who uses the lines from the play as their calling card.

Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her character, she is torn between her two co-stars—Tom the surfer and basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured artist.

Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both on and off the stage. Curtains fall. Mirrors are shattered. People are hurt in true phantom style. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca receives notes and phone calls that hint at something mor.. (Read more)

Wow, where to begin. First don’t judge a book by its cover. This novel blew me away! The writing is superb, and the ties to the real Phantom of the Opera play are great! I really enjoyed this book from start to finish, and couldn’t put it down. In fact, when I needed to put it down, I felt agitated and couldn’t wait to get back to it. Not many books have done that to me, and I am an avid reader.

Kudos to Ms DeLuca. I can’t wait to read more!

When I first saw this advertised as a modern day Phantom, I thought it was going to be another tired rendition of Erik and Christine, with the same kind of ending they all have. I was wrong. This story is fresh and exciting. The characters aren't modern day versions of Erik and Christine. They are just playing those roles in their school play and their own life starts to mirror some of the events. Its ties in both the Phantom of the Opera musical and the classic novel, but its completely its own story. This book had me hooked from the first pages. It has touching elements of romance, but it also has spine tingling thrills. As a pagan, I was impressed with the realistic relationships between Justyn and his mother. It makes the story even more unique. The ending...oh my goddess...I don't even know what to say! I can't say much without ruining the story. But I can say this.. it will leave you shocked and disturbed, but still desperately longing for more from these rich and complicated characters.
