Phantom
by Laura DeLuca
Very good book.
The cover doesn't give away too much, which is nice.
The book is focused on Rebecca, a teen girl that's used to blending in that wants to stand out, so she auditions for the school production of The Phantom of the Opera. She gets the role of Christine and she plays opposite Tom Rittenhouse (Raoul) and Justyn Patko (The Phantom.) Naturally there's a love triangle between the three but someone doesn't want Becca to be happy.
She starts getting letters, grotesque gifts, and creepy voice mails. Then, it gets serious when people start to die. The real Phantom leaves quotes from the play for Becca to find and they won't stop until they have her.
I was thoroughly impressed with the character development and the plot. The ending was to die for.
On a personal note I'm tickled pink with Justyn. I have a serious crush on him. Being Wiccan I get annoyed when characters claim to be Wiccan, but spout nonsense. Ms. DeLuca is a practicing pagan so I'm pleased that she put real information into the novel that will hopefully clear up misconceptions as well as entertain.
