🌹 RoseBlood by A.G. Howard

A Gothic YA Retelling with Magic, Music, and Mystery

📖 Overview:

In RoseBlood, A.G. Howard reimagines The Phantom of the Opera as a gothic young adult fantasy. The story follows Rune Germain, a gifted but cursed opera singer who’s sent to a Parisian arts school built on the ruins of the old opera house. There, she encounters Thorn — a masked, mysterious boy living in the shadows.

But Thorn is no ordinary student. He's connected to the original Phantom in a way that blurs the line between the living and the dead, between reality and magic.

🖤 What Makes It Special:

Howard brings her signature whimsical-dark style into this retelling, weaving in paranormal elements, secret passageways, ghostly whispers, and themes of self-acceptance. Unlike traditional retellings, RoseBlood explores supernatural legacies, bloodlines, and even reincarnation.

If you love:

• Gothic romance with fantasy twists

• Lyrical, poetic writing

• Strong female leads discovering inner power

• Mysterious, morally complex male characters

Then this one will feel like falling into a dream — dark, musical, and utterly unforgettable.

💬 Final Thought:

“The Phantom lives on… not in vengeance, but in love. And it’s Rune’s voice that just might redeem him.”
