Mont, Eve Marie

As in the first two novels of the trilogy, A Phantom Enchantment has elements of the paranormal, this time with Emma slipping in and out of the pages of Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera. Delightful characters populate the story, as Emma makes a new set of captivating French friends. The arrival in Paris of Owen and Flynn, who are in Europe on a backpacking rock tour, spices things up for Emma. News of the mysterious disappearance of old flame Gray flings Emma, desperate to find him, on a dangerous and mysterious quest. Meanwhile she continues to keep up with a very challenging curriculum, reviving old strengths and uncovering new talents she never knew she had. An awakening of romantic feelings for Owen adds to Emma's sense of confusion and uncertainty.

As events within Emma Townsend's life begin to take their toll, she finds her experiences beginning to mirror the plot of "The Scarlet Letter," which she has just begun reading. As she attempts to discover what is going on, she must make a choice that will decide her future.

Emma Townsend, who sympathizes with the titular character in "Jane Eyre," finds herself lost in Jane's nineteenth-century world when a lightning storm catapults her right into Jane's body.
