Master of the Opera, Act 1: Passionate Overture Kindle Edition

by Jeffe Kennedy (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars 46 ratings
See all formats and editions
In the first tantalizing installment of Jeffe Kennedy's ravishing serial novel Master of the Opera, an innocent young woman is initiated into a sensual world of music, mystery, passion--and one man's private obsession. . .

Fresh out of college, Christine Davis is thrilled to begin a summer internship at the prestigious Sante Fe Opera House. But on her first day, she discovers that her dream job has a dark side. Beneath the theater, a sprawling maze of passageways are rumored to be haunted. Ghostly music echoes through the halls at night. And Christy's predecessor has mysteriously disappeared. Luckily, Christy finds a friend and admirer in Roman Sanclaro, the theater's wealthy and handsome patron. He convinces her there's nothing to fear--until she hears the phantom's voice for herself. Echoing in the labrynths. Singing of a lost love. Whispering her name: Christine.

At first, Christy thinks she's hearing things. But when a tall masked man steps out of the shadows--and into her arms--she knows he's not a phantom of her imagination. He is the master of her desire. . .

I just finished this story (though unable to leave my review on the final book, so leaving it here). When I first started this, I really wasn't that into it, and even half heartedly skimmed over some parts in the first two volumes. As such you could say it had a slow, and awkward start. Christy/Christine really took getting used to. A lot of the narrator spoken slang was annoying. Yet, as I read, the writer abandoned said slang (that or it grew on me, I am unsure), and all I saw was beauty. It was a strange plot, more so using the name of Christine, as well visual and operatic inspiration from the Phantom, or "Master" here. Ultimately, this book is best read with an open mind, disregarding Phantom of the Opera entirely, only taken in as an entirely new story. By the end, I loved this series! It was unique, and I was definitely meandering in the world of the book, and growing with Christine. So, please everyone, do as stated above, and give this book a read following my advice up there, but forgive the first few volumes -- it gets better.

The sex scenes were delicious, and had my insides reeling, and I actually found myself wanting to read more that unfortunately wasn't there. That said, for most people -- as I am largely a very perverse woman -- it's probably a better off amount for the typical reader. It's BDSM, but I find it very light work of it. Still, it was tasteful in my opinion, not overly raunchy but enough to get the blood flowing versus lovey dovey sick-sweet romance. I liked it.

I'll write this final part without spoiling anything. The only things missing that I really wanted were a better BDSM finish, and an epilogue as a fan service. I found myself wanting to get a little happy insight of a certain two characters settling into daily life, among other random fun tidbits for a more impacting "happily ever after." Did the couple reign well over their property via the heroine's father? What exactly happened to Carla? Did the Master get along with Halcyon (I love that character)? Things like that. I suppose I can imagine them in my head, but it would have been fun to live in that world just a little longer, because I really enjoyed it.

I read Master of the Opera, Act 2: Ghost Aria first so I already knew what was going to happen. However there is so much other stuff that will eventually be relevant in the later Acts so it really is important to read them in order. Shame on me.

Christy, I like her. I think its funny and completely believable that she chastising herself about being a "dumb chick in the slasher movies" when she went into creepy dark spots. We've all had those thoughts when we're taking out the trash late at night or we're walking home in the dark. So I thought it was refreshing to hear her be a normal human being. I'm also intrigued by something Christy said to herself about her counselors and her mind. Hmm... whats up there.

Roman, I've got mixed feelings about him and I don't completely trust him. Maybe its because I read the 2nd Act first, but even in the 2nd Act he did nothing that would make me suspect him. Or maybe because Charlie gave Christy a warning about Roman's man-whoring. I just don't know. I think everyone is a suspect at this point.

Whats got me jumping up and down in my chair and trying to read as fast as I can is the emblem with a set of links dangling from it like a collar and chain, crossed by a whip that Christy found in the bowels of the opera house.

Great character development and I suspect everyone! I'm hooked to this fascinating retelling of Phantom of the Opera.

Interesting but for me personally now nearly enough to base or form an opinion on..... I can say soo far I'd have a 100% better opinion of this was a complete story and this serialized nonsense... Once Upon a time back when our Grandparents or Great grandparents for some were kids back when they'd go to the movies on Saturdays to see the next adventure in some serial/movie of some western or something that was one thing but a bunch of shorts that usually would be better as just one book isn't my idea of fun,.. But I am intrigued and at .99 cents a book I'm willing to keep going...
Very interesting though... Especially the hints at Christies back story....

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2023
For a retelling of the Phantom of the Opera, changing the locale and the era isn't enough to keep my attention. It had better be fascinating. Christine is a fresh out of college rich girl trying to show dad she can make it on her own. The opera house is stocked with a cast of unforgettable stereotypes, and Christine's newly-rediscovered childhood friend/acquaintance is giving off mad Gaston vibes. We see the phantom twice, and while I found him to be creepy, Christine seems to like him enough to have dreams about him. But that's it, that's the whole book. There's no plot, no meaningful color, the opera house isn't even open for the season yet, technically. If you want an actual story you're going to have to track down all the novellas in this series and I'm pretty ambivalent about it.

I usually enjoy Jeffe Kennedy books, so this is disappointing.
