Beschreibung

Phantom of the Opera meets Beauty and the Beast in this gothic-inspired dark fantasy romance.

A haunted tower, a mysterious instructor and the lure of the music of the night. . .

After the death of her father, Aria is left penniless and destitute. To avoid working the streets she becomes the ward of a Count and moves to a remote town called High Tower.

High Tower is a gloomy place with one vivid attraction: the theater. Lords and ladies come from afar to be seduced by a night of unforgettable entertainment.

Many are warned to stay away from High Tower's dangerous enchantments, but it's a warning Aria is forced to ignore. Determined to take her life back into her hands, she and the Count make a deal. She can avoid an arranged marriage if she learns to sing for him.

When Aria stumbles across a mysterious man in a dark tower, she begs to learn the power of song from him. Although reluctant, the man agrees to teach her the music of the night. Between midnight meetings and emotional singing lessons, Aria falls in love with her alluring instructor despite his shadowy past.

But something deadly stirs, awoken by the desire of its master.

Evenings reveries become haunted with terror, blood and murder. Rumors claim the man in the tower in behind the madness that haunts High Tower, a truth Aria is loathe believe. For she just gained the desire of her heart.

What she doesn't know is that her haunted instructor intends to use her for his own purposes. . .

Music of the Night is a dark and steamy fantasy romance inspired by Phantom of the Opera.

This review is not the easiest to write. I wasn't quite as invested, yet I wanted desperately to know how it will end. The take on music-magic is insanely good. You can feel how much the author loves music with every single scene. Also the characters are beautifully flawed! It is fast paced and the spice is very aetheticly written. Yet I did not like how much was hidden from the reader until literally the last 6 pages. I offen didn't quite know what was going on and would have hoped for a bit more lore-droplets along the way instead of a lore-dump at the end. A recommendation for every music lover and phantom of the opera Fan. Not so much for a casual reader unless you are clearly searching for something short and light to read.

4,5 Eine eher unbekanntere aber tolle Fantasygeschichte, die von "Das Phantom der Oper" inspiriert wurde. Hat mich echt positiv überrascht :)
