Phantom, Dark Musicals Book #1
The “Phantom� was a musical phenomenon that Rebecca had always found
enchanting. She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play
that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses
“Phantom� as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the
middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker
who uses the lines from the play as their calling card.
Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her
character, she is torn between her two co-stars—Tom the surfer and
basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely
appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured
artist.
Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both on
and off the stage. Curtains fall. Mirrors are shattered. People are
hurt in true phantom style. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca
receives notes and phone calls that hint at something more sinister. Is
Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real
life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca
doesn’t know who to trust, but she knows she’s running out of time as
she gets closer and closer to opening night. Only when the mask is
stripped away, will the twenty first century phantom finally be
revealed.

When Justyn and Rebecca set off for the New York School of Performing
Arts, they think their dreams are about to come true. To their dismay,
they aren’t in high school anymore, and the competition is steep.
Rebecca must compete against accomplished singers for a role in the
production of Demon Barber, including a stunning Gothic diva with her
sights set on Justyn.
It doesn't help that things keep disappearing from their apartment or
that Rebecca's father refuses to accept that Justyn is an essential part
of her life. Yet, all this seems minimal in comparison to the serial
rapist terrorizing the campus.
Consumed by fear and obsessed with revenge, Rebecca and Justyn start
living the story of Sweeney Todd—both on and off the stage.

Excerpt from Hyde & Demon eBook Giveaway
ÌýHyde is coming in just thirteen days, but you can get a sneak peek now. Here is an little excerpt from the third and final installation of the Dark Musicals Trilogy. Keep reading below the excerpt to see how you can win one of give eBook versions of Demon!
They found the rest of the Hyde cast waiting beside the
stage. The parts had already been assigned, and Justyn and Rebecca had spent
most of the spring trying to memorize their lines in between Phantom
performances and studying for finals. Justyn had even grown his hair out for
the dual role of Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde. They had their parts down cold,
but this was the first time they’d be practicing with the rest of the troupe.
In fact, it was the first time they were meeting the cast at all. Fernando set
about making the introductions while Rebecca shuffled her feet from side to
side and fiddled with the ammonite necklace Justyn had given her. She wasn’t
sure why, but she had the distinct feeling more than one of her future
co-workers were giving her the once-over, and their expressions definitely
weren’t friendly. The flickering lights above the stage only made their faces
look more sinister.
“Hello, everyone!� Fernando began, “I’m so excited to
finally introduce you all to Justyn and Rebecca, the future Broadway stars I
told you about. They will, of course, be playing the lead roles of Dr. Jekyll
and his fiancée Emma.�
Already a few people huffed and rolled their eyes. Rebecca
wasn’t sure if it was for their benefit or simply because of Fernando’s over
exuberance. Rebecca and her friends nodded to the crowd and got a few brief
waves in response, but also a few nasty scowls. In particular, there was one
dark-haired guy wearing a wife-beater, revealing the torso of a Greek God. He
looked like he would be more at home in the mob than on the stage. A fedora
certainly wouldn’t have appeared out of place on top of his kinky curls, and he
was glaring at Justyn as though he were planning his next hit. A gorgeous
blonde with her curly hair pulled back in a tight ponytail was sitting on the
edge of the stage beside him, filing her nails and looking thoroughly bored
with the whole affair. Toward the back of the set, a few younger cast members
were already doing warm-up stretches. Rebecca assumed they were part of the
chorus line Carmen would be joining.
“I’d also like everyone to say hello to Tom and Carmen,�
Fernando continued. “Tom will be playing the role of Dr. Jekyll’s friend and
attorney John.�
“Whaz up, everybody?� Tom said with a cheerful wave. “How’s
it going?�
The guy in the wife-beater snorted. “Looks like that kid
should be hanging ten instead of hanging out on a professional stage.�
“Now, Steve, we talked about this already,� Fernando said,
annoyed. “You’re one of my best actors, and you’ll be the star again come
September for our fall show. But you know I wanted to try my hand at a musical
at least once before I retired, and these kids have the voices to help me pull
it off.�
Steve was still glowering, and Tom didn’t look very happy
either, but Fernando had already moved on with the introductions. He came to a
pretty girl who looked to be in her mid-twenties. She was sitting Indian style
on the stage but rose to shake their hands as they approached. Her thick hair
was so long it reached the small of her back, and the ebony waves surrounded a
heart-shaped face with a dark tint that declared an ethnic descent. She gave
them a small smile, but her deep brown eyes seemed melancholy. Even before he
announced it, Rebecca already figured out what role she had acquired. She was
the perfect choice to play the sulky prostitute who falls in love with Dr.
Jekyll, only to die at the hands of a jealous Hyde.
“This is Victoria Diaz. Victoria will be playing Lucy,�
Fernando told them, confirming her guess. “The ummm � lady of the night.�
Rebecca was smiling and shaking Victoria’s hand when again
there was an odd crackling sound. The lights above them blinked and sputtered
one last time before very abruptly going out altogether. There weren’t many
windows in the dining area and the ones that were there were covered in blinds.
The room was suddenly plunged into almost complete darkness, with the exception
of the glowing exit signs. Rebecca couldn’t help but reach for Justyn’s arm as
her eyes tried to adjust to the shadows. She felt a sudden panic rising in her
chest, but it wasn’t
