    About this audiobook

    Debuting on the New York stage, Zara is unprepared—for Eli, the girl who makes the world glow; for Leopold, the director who wants perfection; and for death in the theater.

    Zara Evans has come to the Aurelia Theater, home to the visionary director Leopold Henneman, to play her dream role in Echo and Ariston, the Greek tragedy that taught her everything she knows about love. When the director asks Zara to promise that she will have no outside commitments, no distractions, it's easy to say yes. But it's hard not to be distracted when there's a death at the theater—and then another—especially when Zara doesn't know if they're accidents, or murder, or a curse that always comes in threes. It's hard not to be distracted when assistant lighting director Eli Vasquez, a girl made of tattoos and abrupt laughs and every form of light, looks at Zara. It's hard not to fall in love. In heart-achingly beautiful prose, Amy Rose Capetta has spun a mystery and a love story into an impossible, inevitable whole—and cast lantern light on two girls, finding each other on a stage set for tragedy.

      Truly a great book. It was great to finally read something with a bisexual character. The mystery was compelling and the characters were believably written.
    • 4/5
      This is one of the books that gave me a "first", I think. At least...I don't recall ever reading books where the main character was anything other than straight. And to be honest, I've never been interested in those books. Not that I have anything against them! Just...eh....never really interested me.When I first read the blurb for this book...I suppose it gave me a pretty strong hint that it wouldn't be the kind of relationships I was used to...and tada....I was right!Anyways...I think this book was a solid three stars...and a strictly average book, but...the fact that it was the first book that exposed me to main characters that weren't straight...and...LIKING it...yeah, I think it deserved the extra star.Besides! The plot twists were unexpected, and I enjoyed how the book slowly unfolded...I'm not quite sure how I feel about the ending though...at first, I was kinda...disappointed? And I had hoped to read more of a...follow up to what happened after the theatre erupted in chaos...and the kiss....like, what happened to the murderer?! Was justice served?! I dunno, I suppose it's somewhat fitting now that I think about it....*shrugs*Reading this book made me want to read Echo and Ariston! I put it on my mental to-read list....only to find that....I DON'T THINK THE PLAY EXISTS?! Sad.Hmm...what else do I have to say about this book....I thought the characters were very nicely introduced and described...and I was given just enough information about them to understand their role in this book...but also enough that I wished I knew more about their backgrounds! Still not sure how I feel about wacky 'ol Leopold.Hmm...coicidence that Leopold has the same name as King Leopold (the mean king?)Anyways...good book, read it!

      Pennsylvania high school student Zara Evans wants to be an actress. Her favorite play is the Greek tragedy “Echo and Ariston.” Not only, in her opinion, is it the most romantic play ever written, it has taught her everything she knows about love. Zara sends in an audition tape and is asked to read. She arrives in New York at the old Aurelia Theater. The Aurelia, rumored to be haunted, is home to the visionary director Leopold Henneman, himself as much as a myth as the Aurelia.On her first day at the old theater, the lighting director mysteriously falls to his death. Although Zara doesn’t witness the event, she does discover the body. There are rumors that the Aurelia is cursed, which causes her to become skittish. Then, shockingly, Zara lands the lead in “Echo.” Henneman demands that she allow no distractions in preparing for the difficult role of Echo. Zara agrees, she quits school and focuses all her intellect and emotions on the role. Then the re is a second death. Could it be another accident, is the theater really cursed or is there a murderer hiding in the shadows? Zara isn’t sure. She befriends Eliza “Eli” Vasquez, the assistant lighting director. With her brusque manner, myriad tattoos and mysterious demeanor, Eli captures Zara’s heart in ways no one has ever done.The two share a passion for each other that is only rivaled by their individual passion for the theater.This story, to me had overtones of Gaston Leroux’s “Phantom of the Opera.” The prose is beautiful and often lyric, but I didn’t quite understand the visions Henneman kept having. He seemed too melodramatic for his role. Therefore, Echo After Echo receives 4 out of 5 stars in Julie’s world.

      This was an utterly delightful novel about Zara, a senior in high school who wins the coveted part of Echo in "Echo and Ariston", her most beloved play of all time. Even better, it's a Broadway production in a the famed Aurora theater, and directed by a legend. She feels inadequate to the task, though, because she's never been in love. Will she ever? find a love as great as Echo & Aristons? And another question arises: when Zara first arrives at the theater, she finds the dead body of the lighting designer on the floor, and learns the haunted history of the theater. Who will be next? Will she find a love as great as Echo & Aristons?

      I really enjoyed this book! I didn't realize it was YA, because it doesn't focus on a high school student. Zara, the main character is a teenager that leaves high school her senior year when she gets offered her dream role in her favorite play. She moves to New York and finds her new home at the Aurelia theater. The theater is supposedly cursed, and the first day there, Zara finds a dying man who may or may not have been a victim of murder.All the characters are intriguing to read about, (whether or not you would want to meet them in real life). I think any theater lover would enjoy reading about how a play comes to life, from casting to rehearsal to opening night. The romance between the lead actress and a girl who does the lighting for the show was also lovely. The mystery also was a great addition to the story. I definitely got wrapped up in what was happening at the Aurelia and wanted to find out what was going to happen. I would highly recommend this book to someone who loves theater or someone looking for a different Young Adult book. Bravo.
