About The Book:
Title: NOCTURNE (The Guardian of the Opera #1)
Author: Cheryl
Mahoney
Pub. Date: June 5, 2020

Circle Press
Pages: 300
Formats: Paperback,
eBook
Set against the backdrop of 1880s
Paris and the stunning Opera Garnier, The Guardian of the Opera: Nocturne
brings you the familiar tale from a different direction. Meg Giry met the
Phantom once when she was twelve years old, a new ballet dancer lost in the
Opera’s maze. Years later, when an Angel of Music offers singing lessons to her
best friend Christine Daaé, Meg is sure she knows what’s actually happening.
But as strange events unfold and the pieces stop adding up, Meg has to wonder
if she truly understands the Phantom—or Christine.
Erik is a man of many talents and
many masks, and the one covering his face may be the least concealing. The
opera house is his kingdom and his refuge, where he stalks through the shadows
as the Phantom of the Opera, watching over all that occurs. He never intended
to fall in love; when he does, it launches him into a new symphony he’s certain
can only end in heartbreak.
My Review:
Nocturne is the beginning of Cheryl Mahoney’s series, The Guardian of the Opera. It is, also, my first introduction to her books. Even though it was over three hundred and fifty pages long, I thought it was easy to read and had no problem reading it in one day. Meg’s story was fun and entertaining from start to finish. It was a great retelling of the Phantom of the Opera.
I am giving Nocturne four stars. I am looking forward to reading the next installment from The Guardian of the Opera series.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.

About Cheryl:
Cheryl Mahoney lives in California
and dreams of other worlds. She is the author of the Beyond the Tales quartet,
retelling familiar fairy tales, but subverting expectations with different
points of view and new twists to the tales. She is also a co-author of The
Servants and the Beast, and its companion piece, After the Sparkles Settled.
Cheryl loves exploring new worlds in the past, the future or fairyland, and
builds her stories around characters finding their way through those
worlds–especially characters overlooked or underestimated by the people around
them.
She has been blogging since 2010 at
Tales of the Marvelous (http://marveloustales.com). Her weekly Writing
Wednesday posts provide updates about her current writing, including excerpts.
She also posts regularly with book and movie reviews, and reflections on
reading. She has been a member of Stonehenge Writers since 2012, and has
completed NaNoWriMo seven times.
Cheryl has looked for faeries in
Kensington Gardens in London and for the Phantom at the Opera Garnier in Paris.
She considers Tamora Pierce’s Song of the Lioness Quartet to be life-changing and
Terry Pratchett books to be the best cure for gloomy days.
