3.5 stars. When I started to read this book, I thought it would be a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, but as I continued to read I found it to be more of a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. This is something that I found intriguing and one of the reasons why I continued to read this book. I found the idea of the Wilderwood to be interesting, but there was a lack of world-building. I did enjoy the slow-burn romance between Red and Wolf. I do feel that the story was a bit dragged though, some points became repetitive.
