Ratings and reviews

I think the thing I’m liking the best about this series is the author’s ability to take a story we’re all familiar with and stay true to the essence of that story while taking it in a direction guaranteed to surprise and delight. It’s no different with Red’s tale. Most of the parts that make it a classic are there with just enough changes to make it new and refreshing. I liked her relationship with Kit, and I loved the way he supported her through everything. I can’t wait to see what's next.

I like this creative version of The Little Red Riding Hood story. Red (Aredenne) dreamed of becoming a Huntsman. Only she gets a prophesy that puts her on track to toward her dream. Only she gets more than she anticipates in her handsome mentor and partner Kit (Christopher) and a visit with her ex-boyfriend Peter; but no wolf. It is a feel good story with a happy ending. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A good retelling of Red Riding Hood with a twist which, I preferred to the original version of the tale. I loved the new and interesting twists Laura Greenwood provided in this more modern version. Red so wants to become a Huntsman now at Grimm Academy, she's about to fulfil her dream, although on the Academy's grounds, she's protected from her prophecy a letter from her father means she has to go to the aid of her sick grandmother. Will she and her grandmother become victims of the prophecy?
