3 STARS OUT OF FIVE- Good Read

I've always been a fan of fairy tales and this retelling of Little Red Riding Hood was a real delight to read. Just the right amount of suspense mixed with horror and a bit of romance sprinkled throughout.

Meet two sisters and a handsome woodsman. Older sister Scarlet having been attacked when a child by a wolf is sared not only physically but mentally and only finds pleasure in hunting down the animals that hurt her and killed her grandmother.

Younger sister Rose, who was saved by her sister in the attack, her beauty still intact, feels a weight of obligation to her sister and is burdened by living her life to please her. Fighting by Scarlet's side even when she dreams of just living a normal teenager life.

Add handsome woodsman Silas, who is faithful to both sisters but finds himself in love with one and has a deadly secret that he doesn't even know about.

While reading I found myself thinking of Buffy the Vampire Slayer with a twist One of my favorite shows so that was not a bad thing. This is my first read by Jackson she has another book out now. Not sure if I will read it or not.
