Phantom

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 more sinister. Is Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca doesn’t know who to trust, but she knows she’s running out of time as she gets closer and closer to opening night. Only when the mask is stripped away, will the twenty first century phantom finally be revealed.

My review:

Since I was very young I have loved The Phantom of the Opera. I know all the songs by heart, the characters and the love feeling you get from listening to the music. One of my favorite aspects of this book is that Laura incorporated some of the lyrics into the story, to give you a feeling of what the characters are experiencing. I love the modern take on the characters, the dark angst attributed to the feeling of the teenagers, which Laura then paralleled to the Phantom of the Opera story. Becca has to choose between Tom and Justyn, who were appropriately cast as Erik and Raul. Her story amplifies when she begins to be stalked by a person who seems to have an obsession with the play and Becca races against time as accidents affect the play and all of their lives. i totally recommend this book. It was an awesome read.
