Review
I love a good re-telling! And this one doesn't disappoint Re-telling of Little Red Riding Hood (obviously). Scarlett and Rosie are sisters who first learned about the Fenris when one attacked their grand mother and then went for the two sisters. Scarlett took action and killed the wolf but didn't not come away un-scarred. Now Scarlett goes hunting for the Fenris, killing them. The writing of this book was a joy to read, although, some parts could be a little bit boring but there is plenty of action throughout the book. Great character development, found my self loving all 3 of the main characters. Even though I though Silas was very predictable. I'm also glad that the love element didn't fully take over the book and shadowed the relationship between Scarlett and Rosie. Can't wait to read the other books in the Fairytale Retellings series.
