Roseblood by A.G. Howard

2.0

You know you're going to bad places when the writer admits to getting the basis for her plot from a fanfic site. I understand retellings, especially contemporary ones need to embellish what was originally presented, but man this story was WAY off. What was a good story about passion, music, and misunderstood people quickly devolved into boarding school, family curses, and supernatural creatures.... Clearly this book is a hot mess and in my opinion falls below a respectful adaptation. It manages to go for every YA trope you can think of all under the guise of a Phantom of the Opera retelling.
