FAVORITE: BOOKS: Red Riding hood


In a time when villages are so small that everyone knows everyone else, one girl struggles to find her own way. After her sister’s violent death, Valerie’s world begins to spiral out of control; a marriage is being forced upon her, her father is the town drunk, her mother wants to control her and her true love wants to run away with her – but where can they run from this small village and it’s big secrets?

For generations, the Wolf has been kept at bay with a monthly sacrifice but now no one is safe. When an expert Wolf-hunter arrives, the villagers learn that the creature lives among them – it could be anyone in town. It soon becomes clear that Valerie is the only one who can hear the voice of the creature. The Wolf says she must surrender herself before the blood moon wanes, or everyone she loves will die.

Who will save her? Or can she save herself?

In this dangerous, riveting new vision of a classic fairy tale, the happy ending may be hard to find.

My thoughts on this book is that, if you've got an obsession on fairy tales and a little thrill for a gothic story. Then Go and BUY THIS BOOK!

I give it 2 thumbs up! It kept me on edge at night. My heart literally races when i read it!
