A review by mozbolt
Roseblood by A.G. Howard

3.0

3.5 stars. So this book is a perfect example of a trashy, yet entertaining teen book. The romance was hilariously cringe-y and somewhat stalker-y and I totally spent the first half of the book mocking the characters in my mind. But honestly, the atmospheric qualities of the writing and commitment to Leroux's original were poignant throughout the book, and I actually enjoyed reading it, especially toward the end. The writing is amateur, to say the least, and I found myself editing in my head. However, Howard is great at creative writing regarding imagery and Gothic vibes, which I appreciated. Also, there is a ghost kitty with a hilarious and adorable personality (cat-ality?), and the protagonist knits, so this book gets an extra .5 stars because I loved that the author included those little details.
