I enjoyed this story. I hope there are more stories in the future in this series.
Content: clean- a couple swear words, some mild violence

TLDR: A light read and unique take on the Little Red Riding Hood story.
Overall I was rather underwhelmed by books 4 and 5 in this series and unfortunately this one was no different.
I enjoyed the mystery aspect, thought it was rather dragged out and slow until about 2/3 of the way through. Unfortunately it didn’t build suspense for me, just started annoying me because the logic behind the puzzle was so impossible to follow. I think it would have been better if the narrator had had a bigger view of the whole picture, but as the rest of the series is equally constrained, I can completely understand why Davidson wrote this one from this POV.
I liked the new take on the wolf and the ending made me happy. The love interest definitely had my attention as well.
Overall, 3/5 stars for me. A pretty average book and not on the same level as the original 3 books of the series, but still a satisfying read in the end.

Path of Secrets by Kenley Davidson is the last (so far) book in the Andari Chronicles and a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. I am really hoping for another book! There are SO many characters that Kenley Davidson could explore! We met Batrice Reyard in the previous book who became fast friends with the spy, Brenna. She left her normal life for a life as an actress and acrobat. But now she is in training to be a spy. When a letter from her grandmother comes in saying that she is ill, her mentor sends her on her way. What should have been an easy trip, turns dangerous. There are several people that keep turning up and someone is on their tail. Who can she trust? Everyone seems to have secrets…
Batrice is so much fun! This journey really makes her think about what she wants for her life. Women don’t have many options and she wants her freedom but is she really up for being a spy? The novel does a great job at keeping the reader guessing on who is the culprit. And honestly, I did not think the ending was predictable! There are some moments that I didn’t feel were completely necessary to the story and slowed the pace just a tad. But then the next moment, the pace would take off like a roller coaster!
One of the best aspects of this story is the humor. There is sarcasm aplenty–which kept the read very entertaining! As always, Esther Wane does a fabulous job narrating! I am really hoping that more books are coming to this series! I have come to adore Kenley Davidson’s Andari World-Building! I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. But 5 out of 5 for the whole series!

This one was my least favorite in the series. The premise was good and a nice twist on the fairy tale but the actually story needed more development.
