There was no way I could pass on reading Passionate Overture! A modern day Phantom of the Opera? Heck yes! I was a bit wary of the serial format, but so far I think it’s working for me. In this first installment we meet the main cast: Christy, Roman, Charlie, Clara, and “Master.” Christy has joined the theater team, doing inventory. It’s a huge job, and it takes her to the very lower levels of the theater where the woman she’s replacing disappeared. Of course, everyone thinks she spooked because of the opera ghost tale and ran, but maybe there’s more truth to the tale? Christy certainly thinks so when a strange man appears while she’s working late, and then there’s the body that they found…I thought Passionate Overture was a great introduction! It started off a little slow, with us just being introduced to everyone and the theater. But then things get going. The ending is obviously a cliffhanger, but it’s a good one! Being a huge fan of Phantom, I have a lot of assumptions as to where the story is going, but I certainly hope the author adds in some surprises!
