I have loved this entire series, but was not so keen on the last book. (this seems to be a habit of mine I will admit). The Opera Ghost is a ghost, not a person secreted away in the basements of the opera houses. His life is connected to the evil family that has his spirit bound to the place to maintain their heritage of wealth. The first books in the series make a big deal about the whip and color on the secret door, but that only comes to play in one book and is never really picked up again. Then the mysticism just falls flat for me and I love a good spirit story.

That being said, I love the way the author writes and plan to continue to read her stories.
