Untouchable

by Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Elizabeth Schwartz (Cover Design)

Christine Daaé once believed in angels, but after learning that her beloved angel teacher is really the disfigured, sinful Opera Ghost, Erik, she cannot help but distrust his intentions. When the opera cast is given a few days reprieve from rehearsals, she dreads a promise she made to stay with Erik in his underground home. She would much rather spend her time with the charming Vicomte de Chagny than be a prisoner to Erik’s world of darkness. But as she begins to understand her once angel and his secrets, she starts to open her heart. “Untouchable” shows a new version of these beloved characters in this adored story. What if Christine were a bit stronger? What if Erik were a little more patient? Against the backdrop of the holiday season, true love sparks for the first time, and a man who always considered himself “untouchable” learns what it means to hope.

About the author

Michelle Gliottoni-Rodriguez wrote her first novel in high school. Fifteen years later, she’s up to 28 and still counting. Fascinated with Gothic romances, she calls her greatest influences the works of the Brontë sisters and adds in an adoration for “The Phantom of the Opera” and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In August 2011, she published her first novel, a Gothic vampire romance titled Opera Macabre. Over the past two years, she has published another vampire romance and the first three novels in her series The Angel and Demon Chronicles; the fourth installment, Imprinted on a Demon’s Heart, will be out next summer. In addition to writing about vampires, angels and demons, she posts Phantom of the Opera stories online and has even had the honor of having them translated into German and Russian for worldwide fans. Due to the wonderful support of her Phantom “phans”, she released two collections of Phantom short stories titled Manifestations of a Phantom’s Soul and her Phantom novel, The Opera Ghost Unraveled last year.

The other side of her life is a passion for music; she’s also a trained opera singer with a Bachelor of Music from Saint Xavier University in Chicago. She’s won various awards and accolades in the Chicagoland area and has portrayed such roles as Rosalinde in Die Fledermaus, the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro, Yum-Yum in The Mikado, and the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute.

From writing at 4AM to practicing for her next performances at 7AM and then onward to being a full time wife and mom with a 7 year old, a 4 year old, and 7 month old, one would call her life crazy, but she likes to think of it as “full”.

Reviews

[The Local Spooky Hermit]

The red death costume appears finally in one of the books I've got(that i have read so far up to this point). Also them both singing on stage and he gets the girl. I am content. World peace has been attained.

[Anna-Lisa]

It was fun to read this different version of Leroux tale. It was very romantic and then got very erotic but sensual. This Christine had more courage than the original one and it was fun to read this love story. It got Erik his deserved happiness after a life full of cruelty.

[Sara Danna]

Finally...

...a Christine with a personality and sense of humor; no indecisive, frightened Mary Sue. This is truly a Christmas love story.

[OG]

As always enchanting.

Michelle knows seriously how to write a phantom novel. This is a passionate beautiful story of how love conquers all. Less tense than some of her other books this is a flowing love story with all the sexy bits. Very erotic. But Erik manages to sabotage himself on and off giving an edge and making the reader wonder until the very end. Can't wait for your new novels Michelle, this is theorized I've read of yours and I'm moving swiftly to the fourth right now.

Another Feel Good POTO Story

Another success by Michelle Rodriguez. I enjoy her drama and style. It is wonderful, feel good story with a great sensual side of both Erik and Christine. I love the dual performance twist. Thanks again, Michelle!

Can't go wrong with MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ

I have read at least seven of her books and every one of them is excellent. This book tells the phantom story, but without all the violence. I loved it. I am looking forward for her new book.I
