Song of the Dark Wood by Sheila Masterson
5.0
BRACE YOURSELVES FOR THIS ONE! TODAY IS RELEASE DAY!!!!
I am a major Sheila fan and she can do no wrong! I was immediately pulled into this one. This is a Red Riding Hood retelling and it’s PERFECTION! The story is dynamic and fresh. It covers some issues I feel like we as women experience in the current climate of society. We get to follow the main character and she comes into herself and stands for what’s right. She makes a better world for all of her fellow women. The romance is this story is also unmatched. I wish this wasn’t a stand alone! I wanted more! But I can’t wait for the other stand alones in this world that are to come. There’s a large musical component and I loved that, too. This novel blew me away and I will continue to devour every single thing Sheila writes!!
Some of my favorite quotes:
“What beautiful eyes you have”
“All the better to see you with, lovely.”
“What big teeth you have”
“All the better to eat you up, Rowan Cleary. You smell divine.”
(A delicious tie in of Little Red!!)
“All right, why don’t I sing you a song? I’ll sing your favorite. The about the Storm Prince and his Princess.” (A beautiful nod to her previous series)
