Christine de Chagny is still haunted.
When the Opera Ghost sent Christine away to marry his rival, the youthful and winsome Vicomte Raoul de Chagny, she promised the Ghost that she would return to bury him when he died. Unable to keep her word and tormented by grief and regret, she starts writing letters to the man she believes to be dead-only to discover that some Ghosts can never be laid to rest.
Picking up where Gaston Leroux's novel ended, Letters to Erik is a story of forgiveness, redemption, and steadfast love.

To me, there is so much in Gaston Leroux's "Phantom of the Opera" that isn't said/explored that inspires so many dreams/stories. "Letters to Erik" picks up where GL's story "ends" and was just wonderful to read, well worth the $$$ IMO. R is still whiny and distrustful, Christine still has much growing up to do and separated from Erik, does some deep soul searching on her strange relationship with him. As the story opens, she has been unable to return to Erik after his publicized death to place the ring on his finger at his request. Tormented with grief, Christine puts her feelings and thoughts to pen in letters "to Erik", the only way she feels she can connect with him. I'll reveal no more here, the story unfurls wonderfully, such a delight to read. I will say there is a surprise at the end that I didn't see coming that I am sure readers will truly enjoy! An Wallace did a great job; this is a story I plan on enjoying over and over, BRAVA!

I am so particular about what Phantom books to read - this one is "fluff" but I dearly loved it! Just a nice happy story - thoroughly enjoyed it-thanks to Author for such a nice story.

I'm a long-time fan of Leroux's original novel, and this is the first other published book about Erik and Christine that I've ever read: it went far beyond my better expectations! The author is clearly a great knower of the original work, and her tale gives it the conclusion I always wished by both mantaining the main characters themselves, while making them grow and mature, in the case of Christine. The style of writing is nice and flooding, while enriched the operas original quotes well-used, and even the most apparently excessive and unbelievable plot-twists and coincidence just give to it a XIXth novel feeling. I particulary loved the author's telling of Erik's life, all of it well in the boundaries of what Leroux told us, and yet enriched, made more real, more alive... a great read! Only flaw in my personal opinion is that, well... it ended too soon: I wish I could have read a whole description of Erik and Christine's life together.

Letters to Erik is a beautiful Story. I love the concept of the story - and it is a nice continuing story of the original book. The story is a nice read. I love the way that it ended. I will add this one to my collection of favorites.

Being a Phantom Phanatic I loved everything about this book. The love that Christine had for Erik was beautiful and the same goes for Erik's love for Christine. I have read a lot of Phantom of the Opera books and I put this one up with Jody Leisure Minton. This is a book that I would read again and again as I have with Jody's book. This is truly a five star book.
