Music of the Night by Angela J. Ford
3.0

“You are mine,” he whispered. “My angel of music, my savior and I will ruin you for all others."


Highlights:
The Phantom of the Opera is my favorite musical so the fact this is a reimagining of that story with a black female lead made me incredibly happy. I liked both Aria and Uriah. The slow build to their relationship felt natural and the chemistry was well written.

Lowlights:
The plot and magic was explained slowly but that was a benefit to the story as there was no boring exposition sections however it lead to so many things not being explained until the very last chapter which was a bummer. I wish the main lead was able to uncover more of the mystery herself.

Horn Level: 3/5
