“A lush, gothic YA fantasy that wrestles with themes of sisterhood, love, freedom, and control.” —Paste
“As dark and twisted as it is tender and beautiful.” ―Sarah Underwood, New York Times bestselling author of Lies We Sing to the Sea
“A dark and haunting gothic gem of a book. Woods directs an unforgettable cast of characters through a tale as perilous as it is hopeful. With a setting so rich you can smell the very dust beneath the stage, this book will enchant readers until the final curtain falls.” —Elle Tesch, author of What Wakes the Bells
“Woods’ story appropriately reads like a compelling operatic performance, evoking The Phantom of the Opera in its eerie but beautiful atmosphere and containing strong emotions, a tragic love story, and a thrilling, fiery climax as the girls fight on stage to escape their abuser and regain free will.” —Booklist
“The plot maintains suspense and builds to a climactic finale, with a thoroughly evil villain who raises the stakes at every turn. A dark fantasy for fans of The Phantom of the Opera and Erin A. Craig’s House of Salt and Sorrows.” —School Library Journal
