Story
All theater romances are tragedies. Ella Blythe knows this. Still, she cannot help but hope her own story may turn out different than most - and certainly different than the tragic story of the Ghost of Craven Street Theater. Yet as she struggles to maintain her tenuous place in the ever-shrinking ballet company, win the attentions of principal dancer Philippe, and avoid company flirt Jack, Ella cannot deny the uncanny feeling that her life is mirroring that of the dead ballerina.

None other than Derek Marshall, Mr. Stuffy himself. Derek’s been in love with Nara since they were kids, but he’s always become so tongue-tied around her. He wasn’t like the guys she dated, smooth and confident. No, he was too awkward and nervous.

Publisher's Summary
When Aurelie Harcourt's father dies in debtor's prison, he leaves her just two things: his wealthy family, whom she has never met, and his famous pen name, Nathaniel Droll. Her new family greets her with apathy and even resentment. Only the quiet houseguest, Silas Rotherham, welcomes her company.
When Aurelie decides to complete her father's unfinished serial novel, writing the family into the story as unflattering characters, she must keep her identity as Nathaniel Droll hidden while searching for the truth about her mother's disappearance - and perhaps even her father's death.
Author Joanna Davidson Politano's stunning debut set in Victorian England will delight listeners with its highly original plot, lush setting, vibrant characters, and reluctant romance.

A slow burn
I listened to this narrator so it was distracting initially trying to place her. I find her quite methodic which meant you had to concentrate on the story initially to understand the characters and the plot and fight the urge to just get lulled. Each separately are good but I just found it initially tricky to keep it all straight. Once I was drawn in, it was a good plot.

Intriguing story kept me listening.
I do enjoy a good Gothic romance! The characters were solid and the storyline kept me interested. I wasn't at all put off by the main character's heartfelt prayers, they are fleeting and it didn't feel inappropriate considering the historical setting.

Original and entertaining story. Clean.
An articulate and intricate original story, superbly crafted.
The narration is flawless and a delight to listen to. This book requires you to concentrate, it's not a story to listen to while doing another task., but well worth the investment.

To much religion
DNF this book as it just dragged on and on. This should also be in the religious fiction as it constantly referenced the bible. I can not recommend this title.
