The Opera Ghost Unraveled
Before Christine’s father died, he promised to send the Angel of Music. As no more than a voice, her angel appeared, stealing her loneliness and teaching her to sing, but now she has fallen in love with him and wishes he were a man of flesh and bone who could love her in return. Under the guise of angel, Erik tries to find a window into Christine’s life. When being an intangible voice is no longer enough and the Vicomte de Chagny threatens his hold over her heart, truths must be revealed. As the illusion shatters and Christine learns her angel is really the disfigured Opera Ghost with a sin-filled soul, will Erik lose every chance at winning her love and claiming his happy ending? First posted on an online forum, “The Opera Ghost Unraveled” has been read and adored by phans worldwide. It is a passionate variation of the original beloved story and shows the power of love’s transformation. As the omnipotent Opera Ghost “unravels” and exposes the vulnerable soul beneath the scars, love and obsession intertwine as Erik seeks to teach Christine to be brave and follow her heart.

Michelle Rodriguez
26 books58 followersMichelle Gliottoni-Rodriguez wrote her first novel in high school. Fifteen years later, she’s up to 28 and still counting. Fascinated with Gothic romances, she calls her greatest influences the works of the Brontë sisters and adds in an adoration for “The Phantom of the Opera” and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In August 2011, she published her first novel, a Gothic vampire romance titled Opera Macabre. Over the past two years, she has published another vampire romance and the first three novels in her series The Angel and Demon Chronicles; the fourth installment, Imprinted on a Demon’s Heart, will be out next summer. In addition to writing about vampires, angels and demons, she posts Phantom of the Opera stories online and has even had the honor of having them translated into German and Russian for worldwide fans. Due to the wonderful support of her Phantom “phans”, she released two collections of Phantom short stories titled Manifestations of a Phantom’s Soul and her Phantom novel, The Opera Ghost Unraveled last year.

She’s won various awards and accolades in the Chicagoland area and has portrayed such roles as Rosalinde in Die Fledermaus, the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro, Yum-Yum in The Mikado, and the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute.
From writing at 4AM to practicing for her next performances at 7AM and then onward to being a full time wife and mom with a 7 year old, a 4 year old, and 7 month old, one would call her life crazy, but she likes to think of it as “full”.

Finally! I get to review my absolute favorite! Yay!
I'm going to try to avoid reminiscences about the first time I read this...back when it was posted online, and the wonderful suspense of waiting for the next chapter...but if I venture down memory lane on occasion, forgive me. Overall, it's even more wonderful to just sit down with the book and read and read and read some more, then turn around and re-read it all again the instant you come to the last page. Which I did!
So, moving on...simply put, this is my favorite retelling of The Phantom of the Opera I've read. Period. The love Michelle Rodriguez has for the story and the characters is undeniable, as is her spot-on skills for putting the reader right there with them and making them feel every emotion and then some. She pays tribute to both the Leroux and Webber versions, and also makes the story her own. Her take on the much-beloved, oft-massacred character of Erik leaves nothing to be desired. He is every bit as arrogant, dangerous, and terrifying as he should be, but also passionate, tender, vulnerable, and just plain Erik in a way most authors never manage to pull off. It's so easy to sacrifice the dark side of his personality in pursuit of an ideal romantic hero (which, let's face it, he isn't), but that never happens here. Erik himself is responsible for the majority of the emotional thrill ride when his rage, pain, love and desire come spilling out; Like I said, you feel every emotion as you read it. In particular, the unmasking scene and the infamous Chapter Eighteen hit me the hardest. All the impact of a punch in the face, and so much feeling that I cried and couldn't stop!
Christine is another tough character to get right. She can come out insipid, co-dependent, idiotic, boring, etc. when not handled carefully. Here, though, she remains in character. She loves the Angel of Music but fears the Opera Ghost, and must reconcile each as mere roles Erik must play before she can truly love him. She must also be strong enough to face what life with him will mean, and she grows as a character with every step. Erik's character arc is fascinating, but Christine's growth into a woman who can be a match for Erik is truly impressive. She begins as a naive young girl, full of fantasies and in love with a heavenly angel. To watch that childishness fall away and blossom into maturity, strength and passion that equals Erik's own is one of the most gratifying things about reading this. Her relationship with Erik, contrasted with her interactions with Raoul, shift and progress from timid/uncertain/passive to confident/assured/assertive. Comparing her first and last scenes with both men drive it home how much loving Erik transforms her, as much as loving her transforms him.
I always appreciate Michelle's treatment of Raoul. There is never any character assassination whatsoever; he is simply the spoiled, self-assured, stubborn boy he is in Leroux. He honestly loves Christine, and tries to act in her best interests, but...he has listening problems and he just won't leave well enough alone! He has his moments of being sweet and charming, but there's always that trait that's so visible in the novel: He refuses to understand what he doesn't comprehend. He is the moral compass of the story and the voice of reason, but he is blinded by his own love and prejudice to see where Christine's heart lies. And again, that infamous Chapter Eighteen...damn you, Raoul! Damn you!
As always, I adore the language and the words themselves. Each character has a definite voice (that remains true to each character...bonus points for that!) and there are so many quotable bits, my favorite still being Meg Giry's "Bright lights distract me! And I sometimes forget to look beyond my own nose!" Adorable! Then from Erik: "...what good is a clean soul in a blemished vessel? Being penitent won't put me one step closer to heaven. Curse salvation! You are my salvation. If you can love me, I'll be sorry." That's just...oh wow.
Looking over my comments posted on each chapter as it went up online, I notice that I refer to Michelle as the Diane Warren of fiction and that I idolize her as much as Robin McKinley, and I still stand behind those words. This is still one of the most beautiful, gorgeously written, kick ass things I've ever read, and that's even outside of Phantom! This was the story that cemented my admiration and respect for Ms. Rodriguez, and I'm so happy to have read it. Even happier that she published it! Brava!

It wasn't as bad as some other Phantomesque books, but definitely it wasn't a good one. Don't misunderstand me. The book itself was written quite good, Ms. Rodriguez knows how to write, at last she tried her best and her vocabulary is impressive. So why 2 stars?
The plot. Musical/movie 2004, but only the first part. In the middle of the book the story made its turn, and there is no . I'm OK with such plot twists as long as it helps to develop the story. But here we have a great crush with plot movements. As a matter of fact, there is NO plot movements. Very simple and plain line with Phantom trying to make Christine love him.
Characters. Traditionally stupid and evil Raoul, who can't understand the great love between Christine and murderer/invader/O.G. Raoul, run away from that bedlam, you're too rational to stay normal! I liked Christine, though. She's naive and very pure, but she's not a silent cow. Her argues with the Phantom/Erik are very positive and likable.
Another characters are not shown at all. Meg is just a shadow of a real girl. Carlotta, directors are not real, they have no active role in book at all.
Phantom. Ugh... let's say, he's... well... I didn't like him. He's like... "Christine, I love you, and you must love me, but no, how can you love me, I'm bad bad guy, don't love me, but I want you to love me"... I was SO much tired of his monologues, and sometimes Christine was tired as well. He has no background. We never learned his age, his story (in 20 chapters he has just 2 paragraphs about his past, but not specified). He's referred as "murderer", but we saw no victims. Instead he's VERY reflective, it's so boring...
Boring, yes. One third of the book can be easily cut off. So many repeated dialogues and paragraphs, so little sense. Also text needs an editor: huge problems with punctuation, lots of "let me/him/her be", "misshapen lips" and "mismatched eyes". After third "mismatched eyes" I was fed up. Oh, and that great phrase: "I have to have you"!
What I liked. Christine, as I said. Very likable character. Also I liked that unmasking scene, when Christine said she found Erik beautiful. It reminiscences the scene from book. And the sex scenes were very modest.
I wish this book was better. It has its potential, but needs to be carefully edited. Before it, just 2 stars.

I didn't even finish the book. It's awful. The writing is that of a teenager strangled by angst giving the characters a bipolar psychopathy that makes your head spin. I was, unfortunately, roped in because of my love of Phantom of the Opera. This book has not done the characters any justice. I'll be far more careful when going for a book based only on the theme.

THE ending that The Phantom of the Opera was supposed to have!
I have read a few of Michelle’s other Phantom Volumes, all which have been excellent, but this one is by far my very favorite! It is the ending for the Phantom and Christine that every true “phan” has longed for...the way the story was meant to end.
Michelle’s gift for writing, and for pulling you into the story, is amazing! She takes you on an emotional journey throughout the book. She truly brings the Phantom and Christine to life in this novel! You feel their passion, their pain, their joy, and many more emotions as you read through each page of this book. You really get to delve into their world, and to gain much more of an understanding of the history between the Phantom and Christine...which leads you to better identify with their individual emotions, and to understand why they feel the way that they do.
I love the way that this book weaves it’s way through the familiar story that Phantom Phans are used to reading or watching, and turns the story of unrequited love into the romantic love story and happy ending that we have all wished for!
I highly recommend that all devoted Phantom of the Opera phans read this book! You will get lost in this mesmerizing story. You will want to continue reading it, and never want put the book down until you read the last word. Yet, you will want to savor each and every page so much... that you will want to make the book last as long as you can, by reading it in daily intervals!
If you only ever read one Phantom of the Opera novel, make sure that you read THIS one!!!
Thank you Michelle for sharing your talent with us, and for making The Phantom of the Opera come to life in this truly amazing book!

I LOVE any E/C story, so of course I enjoyed it. I liked that the main conflict was inner turmoil from Erik because I am typically always more invested in it than love triangles and stuff. I also am glad Raoul was as annoying in this as i picture him. ;)
I enjoyed this one a lot, but some of the actions in this didn't sync up to the characters in my brain. Still a fun fluff read.

This is the first time I've read Michelle Rodriguez, and I'm mildly impressed. The only harsh critique I have is her grammar. I feel she could use a better copy editor. The characterizations and plot were wonderful. I enjoyed the read and would recommend it to any phans.

I enjoyed it. It was a tad repetitive towards the end, but it was still enjoyable.
August 10, 2017
Z fantoma je děsná mluvka, z Christine nerozhodná slepice, Raoul je na nervy jdoucí ještě víc než obvykle, ale... Já si to fakt užila a nemíním toho litovat. :D
February 3, 2023
I like this one bc it doesn't have Christine having to run away but to stay and continue her career and look into Erik and Christines marriage. Him becoming a better person. 👌

From the Militant Recommender Book Review Blog:
http://militantrecommender.blogspot.com/
Exquisitely, sweepingly romantic and elegantly written, Ms. Rodriguiz's "Opera Ghost Unraveled" gives us an intimate look into Christine and Erik's growing attraction to one another. Sweet, innocent Christine, orphaned, and living in a small apartment, makes her way to the cemetery to visit her father's grave. She thanks him for sending her the Angel of Music who has helped her to become a brilliant singer. She confides that she has fallen in love with the angel and wants to be his, alone.
Back in her dressing room at the Opera House, she calls to her Angel who replies, he is always there. She begs to know more of his existence. He finally tells her his name is "Erik". And Erik it is, our Erik, hoping, daring to reach out to Christine and claim her but holding back, afraid to face the hurt and rejection he's always known. He is hesitant, but is finally swayed by her entreaties and... one evening as she waits for him, he presents himself to her through the mirror, reaching out a gloved hand and drawing her into the darkness and into his world. A world that will force her to face her fears...and her innermost desires.
Ms. Rodriguiz's Erik is intensely alive, scarred both inside and out, driven to take a chance that maybe, just maybe, someone might see beyond the deformities and love the man behind the mask. Christine, too, comes to life on the page. She is enchanting, and though she is finding her way through the demands of falling in love with the Opera Ghost, she is up for the challenge.
Raoul, finding the girl he thought lost forever, and trying to win her back from Erik, is also believably real, as is the adorable, flighty Meg, trying to keep Christine's secrets but dying to share them with the corps of ballerinas.
Many authors have taken these characters and done wonderful things with the plots and storylines. Ms. Rodriguiz has done that, and much more, as she has given us an Erik and Christine who are human, complete with doubts and failings, fighting against society's conventions with love, loyalty and passion. Who could ask for more?

The premise of this book is Erik trying to get Christine to love him while Raoul is trying his best to get her to love him. The two warring factions of Raoul and Erik make this an interesting read. On one hand you have Erik who just wants Christine to love him but wants her to be independent but is also extremely possessive of her. On the other hand we have Raoul who wants her to love him like he loves her but her to subservient to him. I believe that Christine makes the correct choice.
This book was brilliant but could have been edited better. The reader will see certain words and descriptions constantly. I will admit I got tired of seeing them. Sometimes I just wanted to put down the book from seeing the same words and descriptions. Does the author own a thesaurus? But I persevered and by the time I got almost to the end I couldn't put the book down. This is one of the better Phantom of the Opera variation books out there and I look forward to reading her other novels.

This author takes the time to explore both Erik and Christine's points of view. Sometimes even Raoul is mentioned, and I am pleased to see that the author kept his character the same as it was in the original novel. Christine did learn to be strong but she also had to grow and so did Erik's character. In my opinion, at first it seemed as if it was nothing but lust for him in the beginning. But as Erik spoke more about her voice and way of being was nothing short of beautiful. The conversations were stunning and funny! Not to mention very steamy sexual scenes, and yet not pure porn. Definitely a page turner!

Heartwarming and the Ending You Wanted
I found the author on a Phantom-site and really enjoyed her short stories. This full-length novel gave those of us rooting for Eric the ending we wanted to see. Without providing spoilers, I truly smiled through the last chapters and got so caught up in the foreshadowing and love scenes in places that I could not think about putting it down. A few nights with only a couple of hours sleep and a couple of hours on the job (made it up after hours) and I breezed through the book. Hope you love it as much as I did!

couldn’t put it down!
Absolutely thrilling. Took me about 4 hours to read. I couldn’t finish it fast enough, each page had me hooked. The romance, the smut, the love, the conflict, all was perfection.
I enjoyed that it starts with Christine telling her father that she was in love with her angel, it shows the established relationship rather than waiting for it to be built throughout the story

It has been a while since I've read this book by Michelle but I do remember it ranked second to my favorite in all of her novel length stories. I like how Michelle adds surprise twists to each of her stories about the Phantom of the Opera. For an author who has written almost countless E/C stories, she magically infuses fresh intrigue, suspense and romance into each one.

Lovely Phantom adaption. Christine is a very strong character in this book and is sure of herself. Erik is loving, yet still has his unpredictably angry and passionate side. Overall a great read, especially for E/C shippers.

Simply beautiful!!!!

I have read a lot of Phantom fan-fiction. And this is one of the best. Rodriguez is superb.

Awesome phantom story with the ending I always crave! I love the way Michelle brings Erik & Christine to life in every phantom story she writes!
