"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.

"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
