Tasting Red by Holly Roberds

4.0

4.5⭐

I predicted most of the plot twists of this story (I know it's a retelling, but I'm talking about the twists this story brought to the party, okay?), so I can't in good conscience give this 5 stars, but I still loved this. I don't know that I've ever had so much fun with a Red Riding Hood retelling.

I will say, though, I'm shocked Red's grandma...
Spoilerended up not being a total bitch. That was the one thing I didn't predict. I totally thought she was going to be in on it, and that the email was setting Red up to be the fall person for Grandma's shenanigans. The rest of that end I called pretty early on, though.


I just felt like, even though it's a retelling and a certain amount of expectations come with that, this story was really well plotted. Hopefully that continues going forward, because right now I'm excited to continue the series.
