Interesting retelling of the Red Riding Hood story. The elements of the familiar story were there but didn’t overtake the original parts that made it so engaging and new.

Wow, this book really just drew me in and didn't let me go until I finally finished it.  How do I even begin to describe this book?

I love how this tale is Little Red Riding Hood meets Beauty and the Beast, and yet it holds its own in both regards. Red's character feels both remarkably insular to the fairy tale heroine, and yet she also is so much more.

However, this story is also about love, and how far one will go for it. Red for Eammon - and him for her - as well as how far Red and Neve will go for one another. Making deals with gods and ancient beings alike, just to ensure the other is safe, whatever the price may be.

I know this is supposed to be a dark fairytale version of Red Riding Hood, but I thought it was everything I've ever wanted from a take on Beauty and the Beast. Interesting magic system, consensual romance under tough circumstances, soft and strong masculinity. Gorgeous.
