First published in French as a serial in 1909, The Phantom of the Opera is a riveting story that revolves around the young, Swedish Christine Daaé. Her father, a famous musician, dies, and she is raised in the Paris Opera House with his dying promise of a protective angel of music to guide her. After a time at the opera house, she begins hearing a voice, who eventually teaches her how to sing beautifully. All goes well until Christine's childhood friend Raoul comes to visit his parents, who are patrons of the opera, and he sees Christine when she begins successfully singing on the stage. The voice, who is the deformed, murderous 'ghost' of the opera house named Erik, however, grows violent in his terrible jealousy, until Christine suddenly disappears. The phantom is in love, but it can only spell disaster. Leroux's work, with characters ranging from the spoiled prima donna Carlotta to the mysterious Persian from Erik's past, has been immortalized by memorable adaptations. Despite this, it remains a remarkable piece of Gothic horror literature in and of itself, deeper and darker than any version that follows This is a public domain work

On unwittingly charming the famous and irresistible Hollywood star Nathan Ross, Sewa is in for either a whole lot of awkward filled trouble... or a chance at romance. *** When reserved and slightly asocial Adesewa hopes for a little something to shake up her comfortable yet monotone routine, what she wasn't expecting (not even in a million years) was to have caught the eye of Hollywood royalty, Nathan Ross, or for it to have been the result of a diabolical plan backfiring on her. Nathan, the ever lively and confident musician with a name that features on billboards and the stars in his favour, gets on the wrong side of luck for the first time when he accidentally comes across a love potion meant for someone else and the uninterested 'damsel in distress' waitress with the snarky remarks and indifferent attitude. With the poor unsuspecting players already set in this fairytale game of love, the result of their sudden entanglement could either end in a comedic disaster or a match made in heaven, all depending on good old Fate. *** Note: There will be foreign phrases and mention of different languages. It is what makes up the main character. *** The stunning cover art by the talented @TheMinimalisticGirl 🔰Featured on Wattpad Multicultural Romance reading list 🔰 🔰Featured on @Stories Undiscovered reading list 🔰 29th February - 28th March 🔰Featured on Wattpad Romance reading list 🔰 🔰Featured on Wattpad AmbassadorNG reading list🔰 🔰Featured on Official Cupid's reading list🔰 🔰Featured on New Adult profile reading list🔰
