Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce

3.5/5 Stars
An interesting take on the tale of Little Red Riding Hood. I like the idea of it, and for the most part I liked the execution of it, but there were times when I really just wanted to smack two of the characters.
Rosie and Scarlett grow up with their grandmother in a little town in Georgia. One day, they are attacked by a Fenris, a type of werewolf who loves to feed on young girls. Their grandmother dies, trying to protect them and Scarlett loses her eye to protect her sister. Years later, the sisters are still hunting, but now they have their woodsman friend to continue to help them, Silas. But as more and more werewolves start to show up, looking more prey along with the one they call, the "Potential."
When all three move to Atlanta, things seem to get worse as there are more wolves, stronger wolves than anticipated. And there are more feelings than are anticipated between Rosie and Silas that grow the more they live together.
Now, I understand that there usually has to be a book with a certain flair for the dramatic as well as the romantic, but there are better ways to handle it. Rosie and Silas decide that hunting isn't for them the way it is for Scarlett. They decide to hide their growing relationship from her as more and more girls are killed and the time to find the "Potential" grows nearer.
