For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten

4.0

---

This book gave me all kinds of feels. I had a hard time believing this was Hannah Whitten’s Debut novel. I was expected a Red Riding Hood retelling but it did have quite a bit of a Beauty and the Beast feel to it. That being said, I truly did enjoy this book. The FMC can be a bit grating at points and I didn’t quite understand her strong willed nature immediately dissolving upon meeting the MMC. However, I personally found their story to be lovely. The idea of the magical woods and trying to keep the true monsters at bay. The story was a bit filled with riddles and confusion and I truly feel like somethings were never quite explained but, for me, I was still able to enjoy the story nonetheless. Nev was honestly the most irritating part for me. Often times when it got to her perspective I wanted to rush through and get back to Red and Eammon.
