"For Love Of The Phantom" does

As a fan of the original novel, I've read many of the other highly praised "phantom sequels" which have been produced over the years. In my opinion, none seemed to capture the characters and situations correctly. "For Love Of The Phantom" does. It felt like a natural extention of the original novel and I am proud to have it in my personal library. Highly Recommended!

A tender and satisfying Phantom read!

If you have a Phantom itch, this will satisfy such an itch! It was well written and flowed together making it an easy and enjoyable read without feeling flat. The language added to the romance. The story is clever and has all the markings of a good phantom story. The setting is a character, there is murder, suspense, romance, and such a profound tenderness to the love between Erik and Christine. My heart fluttered on several occasions. As an avid POTO fan, this book overjoyed me to read!

The Phantom lives on....

Whether you are a huge fan of the Phantom of the Opera original story, the musicals or just a reader with an interest in a fascinating story, this book series is for you. If you have ever wondered about how the saga began and thus continues, Davyne Desye takes you to all of the places you often felt your mind go in the story of the Phantom, Christine and the other key players. This is the first book of three, and I cannot wait to see how the story continues.

Not the real Erik, not the real Christine

I appreciate the author making a way for the characters to be together, that said Erik would have never allowed certain things and Christine wouldn't have allowed them of herself either. To be honest what she was doing, Raoul and Erik, was gross. Ending was sweet, but didn't make up for icky factor.

Easy to read

An easy to follow work Christine is well fleshed out followed by Raoul then Erik. Erik's character arc is missing from Leroux’s version to this setting. Basically the story was good but contrived
