Cruel Angel (Standard Edition)

by Rebecca F. Kenney

There was a time I felt lost and alone…until I met them, and together our souls took My gentle Raoul and our deadly Angel of Music.

Haunted by the violent death of her parents, Christine Daaé longs to find solace in music, but debilitating stage fright keeps her firmly in the shadows. All she can hope for is a few stolen moments singing to herself in the mournful silence of the backstage stairwell…until one night, the shadows sing back.

In exchange for complete devotion, her mysterious Phantom promises to teach her everything he knows—and with his praise boosting her confidence, Christine is finally able to take center stage…catching the eye of her sweet childhood friend turned something more, Raoul.

But her mysterious mentor is as obsessive as he is demanding, and he will not share Christine with anyone—not unless he can have them both in a bargain that is as dangerous as it is seductive. Light and shadows, gentleness and raging passion, the three of them should not fit so perfectly together. Yet as a supernatural force looms, ready to tear them apart forever, Christine must decide if love can truly exist in the space between beauty and madness…and whether she's finally ready to fully embrace the music of the night.

An addictive and truly original spicy New Adult retelling of The Phantom of the Opera with a magical twist.

I really enjoy Rebecca Kenneys retellings and im super into phantom of the opera at the moment. I love how the author gives the characters a modern unique twist to their characters that sets them aside from their original stories. Definitely recommend if you’re a fan of retellings or the original plot

Phantom of the Opera retelling plus why choose with ⚔️?! What’s not to love!! This was such a smutty, enjoyable read!!

Christine lost her parents and left their cult and is now trying to survive on her own. Christine has a passion for singing and dancing but is too shy to share her singing passion with the world until an “Angel” hears her singing in the back stairwell of work one day. The Angel encourages Christine to perfect her voice and begins giving her vocal coaching, all without ever seeing one another. Christine tries out for a play as a singer and the Playwrite happens to be her childhood friend Raoul. Raoul begins pining but the dark, possessive angel must both protect Christine and help her flourish by slightly threatening Raoul to get her the lead role.

Raoul and the Angels chemistry is immediate and so delicious. The Angel aka the Phantom struggles with his jealousy and wanting to keep Christine all to himself. Neither knows that Christine is harboring a big secret. What other secrets are there?

This book kept me guessing constantly and some of those guesses were wrong 🤣 I was thoroughly entertained and I love a good, smutty standalone from Rebecca Kenney!

Thank you to Rebecca for the opportunity to read the ARC!

This was a really interesting, smutty fantasy take on The Phantom of the Opera. I only know the outline of the plot, so I did go into this fairly blind compared to fans of the musical and the book.

I definitely did not expect the revelation about Christine’s real nature, and I thought that was a great choice. As with a lot of Rebecca’s FMCs, it’s refreshing and different that she wasn’t an entirely innocent ingenue. She did a great job of writing her backstory (and all of the characters)

Angel is possessive in a way where I still found it exciting and darkly romantic, rather than tipping me over to a point where I felt put off. I think I enjoyed reading his POV the most, probably in part because that’s where you see the most character development, and there were some surprisingly beautiful lines in there.

Raoul’s POV was perhaps the least interesting for me to read, but he was very sweet and a perfect foil to Angel - kind of the glue that held the three MCs together. He and Christine share a similar background in some ways, but it shaped them very differently.

The dynamic between the three characters wasn’t what I expected but made complete sense to me. I thought Rebecca built the sexual tension between the characters really well, and the cute date chapter was a very pleasant surprise, such a nice change of pace from a book with fairly dark themes.

I’d anticipated the ending a bit earlier than it came, and I was surprised to realise I had 20% to go! That said, the ending did wrap up the story in a way that made you feel the characters could completely move on from their past.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Cruel Angel, which the author does not frequently do, and it did not disappoint. She is phenomenal at world building gothic settings with a modern edge. The characters are alluring and their electric chemistry is addictive. If you enjoy retellings that explore shadows without losing sight of the humanity inside them, this Phantom of the Opera one is worth diving into.

Thank you Netgalley, Sourcebooks Casablanca, and Rebecca F. Kenney for providing this ARC copy in exchange for review.

I'm a fan of Rebecca F. Kenney and have read a good handful of her books. Phantom of the Opera is one of my favorite stories, having been obsessed with the musical as a kid, and I was excited to read Kenney's spicy take on it.

Unfortunately, this is my least favorite out of all the books of hers I've read.

It felt immaturely written and like she was trying to shove all the fantasy lore into one book. The Phantom is a captured god, Christine is a vampire, and Raoul is a werewolf. She pulled a lot from Irish lore, which required me to Google a lot. I don't mind that so much because I enjoy learning new things, but it does take me out of the story when I have to do it a lot. It would have been better if she explained what everything was in the narrative or had a glossary.

The worst part about this, and the reason I said the writing felt immature, was the overuse of metaphors and adjectives. There were so many descriptors that the book was a SLOG to get through. Maybe Kenney added them trying to recreate the poetry and music that floats over the story of the Phantom of the Opera, but it fell flat and unnecessary in my opinion.

"I dream in cotton candy colors, but the reality is a sour gummy worm, dust coated and too hard to chew." This was the worst metaphor in my opinion. On its own, this sentence isn't too bad, but after reading things like this every other sentence, I was so fed up I wanted to quit reading.

The spicy parts were appropriately spicy, but there was a male on male spicy scene where she referenced body parts as "swords". "... 'It can shift into a different kind of hug. Maybe something called a sword fight.'... when I point out the swords in question..." I have never heard anyone seriously call it a sword fight. Again, the writing here felt immature. Maybe she wrote it that way on purpose since the characters are in their 20s, but it took me out of the world and made me think, " WHAT?! Who says that?!"

In conclusion, what made this book ok was that the spicy scenes were extra spicy and it was fun to hop out of the cishet romance tropes, but maybe skim the narrative and dive deeper into the spicy stuff if you read this book.

This was actually my first read from this author and I was so glad I got an early copy to read!

When I say I went into this blind, I truly mean it. This was a Phantom of the Opera retelling with a modern spicy fantasy twist, but I know nothing about Phantom of the Opera. Even not knowing anything about it, I was truly surprised and really enjoyed this book.

Our main characters, Christine, Angel (The Phantom), and Raoul are all fantastic and have the perfect dynamic. I don't typically read MMF romances, but I thought this was written really well and I enjoyed it. Christine is attempting to survive after her parents have passed and she left the cult that they were a part of. She is living and working in the theatre world as she has a passion for singing and dancing, however, she is terrified to sing in front of others. When an "angel" hears her singing in one of the stairwells of the theatre (her safe space) and starts encouraging her and coaching her on her voice, Christine starts to become more confident. She is convinced that Angel (as she has named him) is a ghost sent by her parents.

With Angel's encouragement Christine finally tries out for a role in an upcoming musical when she discovers that the writer/director was actually one of her childhood friends, Raoul. The Angel doesn't like that Raoul immediately begins pining for Christine, and confronts him, but he cannot fight the chemistry between the two of them.

I was not surprised to learn what Christine truly is, but I was shocked about Raoul. I did not figure that one out! This book definitely kept me guessing and hooked in wanting to know what was going to happen next. The spicy was spicing too!

If you like fantasy, spice, Phantom of the Opera, retellings, MMF, all written in a very captivating way, I really think you will enjoy this story. Again, I know nothing about Phantom of the Opera, and was hooked in and really enjoyed it!

Thank you to NetGalley, Sourcebooks Casablanca, and Rebecca F. Kenney for the pleasure of reviewing this amazing book!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Honestly deserves 10 stars!)

I wish I could give this retelling of The Phantom of the Opera 10 stars—it was absolutely magnificent! Rebecca F. Kenney is a phenomenal writer, and what she has done with this classic tale is something I won’t soon forget.

The Phantom of the Opera is one of my all-time favorite classic novels. I’ve read many twisted retellings over the years, but this one felt completely fresh and original with its MMF why-choose spin. Deliciously dark, steamy, and primal, the chemistry crackles—from the intense one-on-one encounters to the full trio dynamic.

Here, the Phantom masterfully orchestrates a sensual love triangle between a werewolf Raoul and a vampire Christine, and together they create beautiful music—both in and out of the bedroom. The pacing is steady, the storytelling is excellent, and the atmosphere is rich and immersive. Kenney does an amazing job bringing the old theater to life, along with a compelling cast of characters, including the eerie ghosts bound to the god of death—the Phantom himself.

I don’t want to give too much away since the book doesn’t go live until April 2026, but I will say this:
If you’ve ever had a thing for the Phantom and the handsome Raoul and wondered why you couldn’t have both… this book answers that question. If the classic made your heart race and your toes curl, this version will absolutely set your panties on fire.

When people ask me from now on if I’ve read any good twisted classics lately, Cruel Angel will be one of my first recommendations. It’s an unforgettable story with complex main characters and some truly fantastic secondary ones as well. 😉❤️

Thank you to NetGalley, Sourcebooks Casablanca, and Rebecca F. Kenney for the pleasure of reviewing this amazing book! 💋

[Justine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cruel Angel is dark paranormal romance at its finest. Rebecca Kenney delivers a captivating twist on the Phantom of the Opera that plunges readers into a twisted steamy world of monsters set in Nashville’s music and theatre scene. The writing is captivating and draws you into the depths of its morally gray characters and their intricate relationships. As a Nashville native, the setting adds an enchanting and familiar atmosphere to the story which I really enjoy. Despite being a retelling of a classic story, it still feels fresh and new in a way that keeps the reader guessing what will happen next.

The familiar characters of Raoul, Christine, and the enigmatic Phantom are layered and complex making it easy to become emotionally invested. Instead of having a clear hero and villain, each character has their own moral battles and backstory that adds weight to their choices. I particularly appreciate the multiple viewpoints, which provides deeper insight into their motivations and struggles and helps to make the ending far more meaningful.

The spice in this book is off the charts. The trio are electric together and the love scenes are just the right level of naughty but also have emotional depth making it feel like a true love story. This is definitely an adult story and I would enjoy it away from the prying eyes of anyone under 18.

I devoured this book in less than 24 hours because it is such a page-turner. Kenney has created a sexy haunting tale that lingers long after the last page is turned. For me, this book hit all the marks that I want from a dark spicy paranormal romance and earns it an easy 5 stars. Cruel Angel is an absolute must-read for fans of the genre.

*3.5

Disclaimer, I did not even know this was a part of a series before starting it, and it is the last book in the series. I'm sure by the pub date that will be updated but as of now it's listed as a standalone.

I was pretty excited to read this, as I have read other books by this author and really enjoyed them, and a MMF Phantom of the Opera retelling sounded amazing. Now I was super sick when I was reading this which I know affected my enjoyment, but I also just didn't love this as much as I wanted to. It is definitely not bad and an easy read. I also don't know how many pages the book actually is (also not listed rn), but it definitely felt long, which I didn't love either. I think part of my issue is that I did not love the characters which made it hard to care about anything that was happening to them. Now, this again might be because I have not read any of the other books in this series, but I felt like there was just too much going on. It definitely gave an early 2000's urban paranormal romance book which was amazing, but I also didn't fully understand the world building. To be honest, while this is technically a stand alone, I wouldn't suggest starting here.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for an early copy of this book.

Thank you so much to the author and the publisher, Sourcebook Casablanca, for sharing an ARC of this book with me on NetGalley!!!

“When she sings, the chaos of my mind is quiet”

I love this author’s retellings and this was no exception !!! Phantom of the Opera? Gimme Gimme Gimme !!!
What if Christine wanted both of them? What if Roul wanted the Phantom too?
Vampire ghosts and shifters defines the intricacies of the complicated dynamic between three tortured and devastated people. Three humans who have been through hell and found themselves in the beauty and delicacy of music and each other. This book was spicy, addicting, possessive, intense and devastatingly beautiful. I loved every second of reading it. Each scenes filled with its own magic. Its own darkness. And light too. The plot below the scene lead to a grand finale that kinda surprised me but not really. But most of all, it lead me to a deeper love for a character I already could not love more: Erik. I loved loved loved this book !!! I need more from this author !!!

P.S. I’m such a sucker when Taylor Swift’s songs are mentioned in the story !!

I’m a huge fan of Rebecca Kenney’s work! I love her retellings, especially the way her mind takes stories and reimagines them into new stories that are well-crafted and yet faithful to the source material.

I am a huge fan of the story of the phantom of the opera so I had already pre-ordered this. When I saw it was available as an ARC, I immediately jumped on that.

I loved the way Christine was described in this - it is modern, set in Nashville and she lives at a theater and dances. She meets her Angel when she practices her singing and he coaches her and encourages her to audition for a new musical, which she finds out is written and directed by Raoul.

I loved the why choose addition - this is always preferable to me rather than a love triangle. The spice in this was well written, but I honestly wish there was a bit more.

The chemistry between the characters was amazing and their characters were developed well. I loved the supernatural element that was added.

It was a great story with well-developed plot and romance. I can’t wait to see what is next!

[Sarah's Always Reading · Rating 4 out of 5]

Listen I can't rate anything Rebecca Kenney writes less then 4 Stars just because the spicy smut is that good. For those that read Twilight she is my brand of whiskey when I'm in the mood for something smexier then usual.

Cruel Angel is a Phantom of the Opera retelling with MMF and some crossed swords. I personally don't care for Phantom of the Opera but still really enjoyed this book which is set in present day with vampires, werewolves, ghosts and of course Angel our god of death.

This book had delicious chemistry between Christine whose family all died and she is left lonely and broke, along with her childhood friend Raoul who is now in the middling of writing a musical. Both are drawn towards Angel an aberration they thought who seems to be obsessed with Christine at first. The scenes are spicy and the plot keeps the book moving along. Overall a fun easy to read in one sitting novel.

Thank you, NetGalley, Sourcebooks Casablanca, and Rebecca F. Kenney for the ARC! It's always a joy to read Rebecca's books.

Cruel Angel is a Phantom of the Opera retelling, in which our FMC, Christine, does not have to choose. 🙌

Get ready for supernatural creatures, a vampire FMC, a former God MMC and a gooden retriever MMC that is also a shifter. ❤️

Spice was also GREAT. ⚔️

I loved that, although I haven't read all the Gilded Monsters series, it can still be read as a standalone. That said, I will read them all and I encourage you to do the same! I've read Ruthless Devotion, which is a Wuthering Heights retelling, and you get some references to this story. I can't wait for what's next!

Paranormal romance/supernatural creatures
Stalking

Like your romances a mix of paranormal, dark, spicy Gothic and a re-telling of a classic?

"Cruel Angel" will slide then just perfectly into your TBR.

Just when you THINK' you know the story that's graced Broadway and stages worldwide, this author transforms the story into something wholly new. There's unexpected twists for each of the main characters, Christine, the Phantom and Raoul. Each of these individual possess characteristics that are at the heart of their character and subsequent actions.

The setting of Nashville, TN was an apt one. After all, it is the "Music City". This played well with how the author chose to present her story.

3.5/5
A paranormal MMF Phantom of the Opera retelling. I don't know if the retelling aspect contributed or took away from the story. I'm not a huge retelling fan since they are a cut and paste template for the plot, I think, however, the variation in couple dynamics was just enough to keep me engaged. A shifter, a god and a vampire, you really can't get much more dynamic than that. The spice was anything but run of the mill and it was switched up enough to not get boring! The epic showdown didn't feel overly epic and more a formality to the storyline. I did like the introduction of the character toward the end who could very well have their own story line perhaps??? (hoping).
This was my first read by this author and it was a solid start.

Phantom of the Opera retelling, why choose, spicy, and so freaking good! This was definitely one of my favorite reads I have ever gotten to arc read!

I grew up watching The Phantom of the Opera and absolutely loved the Phantom, hated Raoul, and was obsessed with the gothic setting.

I wanted to crawl inside this book and be a part of this world, Rebecca F Kenney modernized it so beautifully! I could feel the pain that each MC went through, the emotions that they experienced, and you could have cut the sexual tension between them with a butter knife.

Thank you so much to Sourcebooks Casablanca and Rebecca F Kenney for the arc, I will definitely be getting this beautiful deluxe edition when it comes out!

What a way to wrap up to an AMAZING series.

I was so not expecting the identity of The Phantom when it was revealed. But I totally missed the mark on Raoul and I can't believe I didn't piece that one together.

So many things intertwined and references to the other book characters that it makes me want to go back and do a reread just to connect the dots.

If you like any of these themes this might be a book for you!

Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Casblanca for the arc of this book. Cruel Angel is book four in the Gilded Monsters series by Rebecca Kinney. This book can be read as a stand alone but reading the other three books in the series does help for context in some parts of the story. This story is a spicy retelling of the Phantom of the Opera with a supernatural twist. I loved this book. This book is from multiple point of views. I felt it enhanced the story with the multiple perspectives. I devoured it in two sittings. I highly recommend this book and if you haven't read the rest of the series I recommend you do. I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

I am truly obsessed with the Gilded Monsters Series. The moment *that* scene happened in the previous stand alone (Ruthless Vows) I new it was the set up for this next book and was endlessly giddy waiting for a chance to get my hands on this retelling of Phantom of the Opera.

As with most of Rebecca Kenney’s retellings, this is a fun and throughly well done new take on an old story. A interconnected dark paranormal world that new gives depth to theses well known characters. This like the previous books, are more than entertaining, spicy and brilliantly written. If anything I think with each book she writes RK only improves.

I should start by saying I’ve never seen The Phantom of the Opera but I love Rebecca Kenney’s work, so I knew I needed to read Cruel Angel. I don’t think my lack of familiarity with The Phantom of the Opera negatively impacted my reading of this work at all. It was very well organized and presented. I loved seeing the character growth between the FMC and MMCs and the plotting was gripping and exciting! I did struggle at times to follow minor action/characters, but overall I think everything was well timed out. I enjoyed this read!

As always, Rebecca has a way of taking these classic stories and twisting them around into something new and exciting while still maintaining the core of the original. This one is no exception.

What’s next? Jekyll and Hyde perhaps? 🤔

Thank you to the author and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC, which is expected to be released on the 14th of April, 2026.

I would like to start by saying this is smutty smutty Phantom of the Opera. What if Christine c
hose the Phantom and Raoul? Throw in a modern setting and supernatural elements, and you have Rebecca Kennedy’s Cruel Angel.

Sadly, I haven’t actually seen or read the Phantom of the Opera (to my partners disgust), so there is a possibility I did not enjoy this to its fullest potential; however, I did enjoy it. Mostly.

Christine is a promising performer living and working at the New Orpheum theatre in Nashville. Haunted by the violent death of her parents, Christine hopes to one day make it to the big stage, once she gets over her stage fright. Attempting to practice privately in empty passageways, Christine captures the attention of a mysterious Phantom who promises to mentor her. Amidst the lessons, he pushes her to audition for an upcoming musical, which just so happens to have been created by a childhood friend, Raoul. And this Phantom/mentor? A Death God stuck in human form.

Also, Christine is a vampire and Raoul is from a Shifter Mafia family and has a very controlling sister.

This was a very enjoyable read that I consumed in two days; it's a MMF romance (love queer love) with wonderful pining.

Unfortunately, I am still trying to figure out the level of spice I enjoy and there was some spice in this that was not for me; that isn’t to say it won’t be for you though!

Always make sure you read the content warnings in advance so that you are well prepared.

I give this 3/5⭐s and find myself inclined to read Rebecca’s other retellings.
