Book Review: I admit it! I'm hooked!
Summary: 5 Stars

"Out of the Darkness" is book 2 in the "Phoenix of the Opera" series. With Raoul's assistance, Erik has escaped from Paris and travels to Italy to start a new life with his wife, Meg. The journey is full of challenges as Erik struggles to cope with the stares and, in some cases, open hostility, with which he is met by people in the inns where he and Meg seek lodging. He begins to feel that he will never have a normal life, and that Meg would be better off without him. Meg believes that everything will be fine once they arrive at the villa that Raoul has purchased for them to live in. She does not fully understand the stress that Erik is feeling, which leads to a serious argument between them. In running away during the argument, Meg falls and suffers a concussion. When she begins to regain consciousness and sees Erik's unmasked face at her bedside, she screams in terror. Unable to cope with Meg's apparent horror upon seeing his face, Erik leaves, vowing never to return.

"Out of the Darkness" is a wonderful continuation of the story begun in "The Phoenix of the Opera." After leaving Meg, Erik meets Don Ponzio and his wife, Lucianna. He soon finds himself embroiled in their decadent world of deceit and depravity, while Meg tries to build a life without Erik.

If you love the 2004 Phantom of the Opera movie, you will love these books. The characters of Erik, Meg, Christine, Raoul, and Madame Giry live again within the pages of these stories, along with some very well written new characters. There are 4 more books in this great series. As a sequel to "The Phoenix of the Opera," "Out of the Darkness" provides a very satisfying conclusion, and Ms. Montgomery could have stopped writing her story at this point, but I'm very glad she didn't.

Summary of Out of the Darkness: The Phantom's Journey (Phoenix of the Opera)

Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, has escaped the hangman's noose and fled Paris for Italy with his bride, Meg. But the Phantom cannot so easily escape the demons that haunt him. Self-doubt and despair lead to a quarrel with Meg, who injures herself running from him. Despite his tender ministrations, when she comes to, Meg screams upon seeing the Phantom unmasked. Erik flees. The Phantom's journey takes him back to the sordid carnival?and the trauma?of his youth, to the luxurious home of the cruel and decadent nobleman Don Ponzio and his desperate and beautiful wife Lucianna, and to a battle between the man and the monster within. While Erik finds himself trapped in a complex weave of seduction and violence, Meg, recovered from her injury, is beset by suitors, one of whom is the handsome yet ominous Giovanni. But Meg longs for one man only. Will she draw Erik back to her? Can she inspire the Phantom to love himself and her enough to create a life together? Will Giovanni prove an obstacle to their happiness? Out of the Darkness continues the story of Sadie Montgomery's dark hero, his beloved Meg, and their stalwart friends Raoul and Christine.
