Vampires at the Opera

by Christine Prebler

What if. Count Vlad Dracula and Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, not only knew each other, but formed an alliance? This exciting, unique story crosses two of the most widely read Gothic novels Dracula and Phantom of the Opera. Vampires at the Opera openly explores the steamy romantic relationships of soul mates Christine and Erik, and Mina and Dracula. The tale begins soon after the famous Stoker novel ends, when Dracula escaped capture by the group of vampire hunters then traveled to the Paris Opera House to seek sanctuary and the aid of his friend the Phantom. Dracula wants them to travel back to England to rescue Mina, the love of his life. Unbeknownst to Stoker, Mina kept additional, secret diary entries, detailing a very passionate romance with Dracula in London. First, however, Dracula must solve Erik's situation with his lover Christine Daae-dealing with the inept but earnest Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny. Christine wants him out of the way so she and the Phantom can remain safe and happy, living beneath the Opera House. Once the Phantom's dilemma is resolved the two monsters plan their journey back to England, where they discover Mina is now pregnant with her husband Jonathan Harker's child. What's a vampire to do? Bring Mina back to Paris, turn her into a vampire, or leave her to live as a mortal in England? Enjoy this dark erotic tale of two legendary monsters.

First of all I have to start off by saying that I had no idea this was an erotica book. How I didn't know is beyond me, but when I bought it online it was not listed as such. I do read erotica, but when I do I know what I'm getting myself into. This took me completely by surprise, as did the author's lack of writing ability. This is a tale of the Phantom and Dracula, who are, of course, friends and trying to get their HEA with their respective soul-mates, Christine and Mina. What annoyed me the most is that the characters called their significant others "my lover" all the time! Come on, just say their name! I found this completely distracting as I did Dracula turning the Phantom and Christine into vampires and when a vampire takes blood they have to have sex.... phhhhullleez

A masterful combination of "Dracula" and "The Phantom of the Opera".

I actually know and am friends with the author and have read her short stories leading up to this, her first novel.
