Raising Gustave (A Tale from the Darkness: A Phantom of the Opera Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

5.0 out of 5 stars 12 ratings

In 1896, Erik's entire world came crashing down around his ears. He lost the love of his life, his theater, and his home. After crossing the Atlantic to New York, he became a United States citizen, assumed a new identity, and began again. Over the next nine years, he built up the most successful and popular theater in Manhattan, the Monumental on Broadway, became a well-respected businessman, and was finally able to walk among men without hiding either his existence from the world or his face from others.

In 1906, after nearly ten years of counseling, of growing a theater empire, and regaining his identity in the world, a letter from Paris arrives that threatens to change everything.

He's faced many challenges in his life, but now he has come face to face with the biggest challenge of all.

Fatherhood.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When she's not shelving books in the library or reading other authors' works, Kathrine Willson is busy writing her own novels. Her latest book, The Price of Power, is the first book in her new series 'The Darington Files'. Her new crime fiction series is set in 1960s Los Angeles and takes the reader along for the ride with Capt. Justin Darington as he solves homicide cases throughout the city.

Her first series, A Tale from the Darkness, spawned from a broken wrist and the realization that the Phantom of the Opera never had his say, so she sat down and allowed him the chance to tell his own story.

You can find her on Facebook, Goodreads, Amazon.

    It's a long book, but it was so entertaining and suspenseful that it makes for a pleasant, entertaining and easy-to-read book. It's a cliffhanger, so I'm ready for the next installment.

    Keep your stories coming Kathrine Willson. You do great work!

    5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING 🔛🔝 (I’m still speechless )
    Reviewed in Spain on October 2, 2023
    I just finished reading the book, and it was one of the best books I have ever read . I loved the way you included little things from the original phantom of the opera and how you made it feel like it was a real life story . I cried at some parts and the way I gasped at the plot twists on the book chefs kiss . The ending left me speechless really I was not expecting it to go that way, I’m REALLY looking forward the next book , keep up with it 💞

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic interpretation of a well-known character
    Reviewed in Canada on August 17, 2024
    If you have read the first book in the series, you know that this book is about Erik, aka The Phantom of the Opera. It catches up with him 10 years later, and the development of his character is outstanding. I was angry when he suffered injustice, I cried when he was heartbroken, I laughed out loud at his attempts at parenting. He is a very human, very believable and very relatable character. Anyone who has raised a child will feel his angst. There are some historical references in the book that were quite clever, but I don't want to give anything away. The book ends on a cliffhanger, so buy the next book too!
