Midnight Duet

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher.
I liked the book, but I was hoping to love it. Don't get me wrong. It was a fun read, but it was hard for me to develop an emotional attachment with the main characters. I understand they were going through difficult situations and I was rooting for them (particular Erika), but they didn't really do it for me.
On the other hand, I positively loved the secondary characters. Sybille was immature and dramatic, but she was pretty cool. Waldo was irresponsible, but so much fun. And Sergei may actually be a vampire (no “buts” here)

3.5 stars. Please don't stone me, but I can't stand Andrew Lloyd Webber, and I've never seen Phantom of the Opera. But this gender-switched take on the story mostly worked for me anyway with its mix of OTT drama, humor, and found family. I wouldn't mind a sequel that focuses on the band's emo/goth bassist Sibylle.
