Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce
5.0
Wow. Wow. Wow.
After having read Ms. Pearce's As You Wish, and immensely enjoying her writing style, I was eager to get my hands on Sisters Red. My eagerness was not undeserved.
Scarlett, Rosie, and Silas--I loved this trio.
Scarlett - the scarred older sister, determined to kill Fenris and protect others.
Rosie - the devoted younger sister, who puts her wishes for a normal life aside in payment to the sister who saved her life.
Silas - the partner, the love, the owner of secrets that even he doesn't know.
The connection to the characters was immediate for me, and the only time I found myself disliking any of them was when Silas finds Scarlett at the park and kisses her. I understood the reason why he did it, but still felt betrayed on Rosie's behalf. Of course, that betrayal was short lived.
I really, truly adored this book. Everything about it--from the action and the development of the characters to the love story and the ending--were written so very well that I cannot imagine it being written any other way.
If you like your YA novels with a paranormal spin, a love story that isn't all mush or rose colored glasses, and strong female leads, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Sisters Red.
