Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce
4.0
This book was recommended to me by a friend. I quite enjoy modern retellings of fairytales and this was one of the best I've read for a while. Like most fairytales, it is predictable in that I guessed the secret about Silas, but the ending pleasantly surprised me.
As for Silas being brooding, I wouldn't go that far. I did like his character, but to me he was simply an old friend returning home after a lengthy time away. When he does return home, he sees things in a new light, Rosie especially.
The fact that Rosie feels she has to lie to her sister is a bit sad, but I can understand why. Scarlett risked her life to protect Rosie in the attack that opens the book and hunting the Fenris is her raison detre, but it's not Rosie's. Eventually, Rosie becomes the hunter that Scarlett is, but it doesn't last and the sisters reach an understanding.
I would recommend this book to people, as long as they don't expect it to be a completely new story.
