This was a very entertaining read. I loved the characters. I thought the storyline was good. I did think the ending was quite abrupt. But overall I really liked this book. It was a fun retelling of 'The Phantom of the Opera'.

Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC. In this gender-swapped Phantom of the Opera retelling, Erika is an ex-broadway star turned theater owner renting her (dangerously unusable) space to Christof's German hair metal band. This book is just pure fun. The best way for me to describe it is campy. Underneath all the fun, are discussions of self-love and letting go of things outside of your control. I actually really loved the ending because it had me on the edge of my seat.
