But is he really that innocent?
Good Points
A book based on the classic fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood. A wonderful book with many twists and turns that take you on a truly fantastic adventure.
The whole story comes together with the chapters both being told by Scarlett and Rosie. I could read it over and over and never get board. With small clues along the way to reveal the conclusion towards the end you have to pay attention. You can instantly see the links with it and Little Red Riding Hood but you can tell that this isn't your normal fairy tale either.

5/5 Stars
There are a lot of werewolf stories out there... but this is something else. Sisters Red is a fairytale retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. The chapters alternate between the two main character’s points of view. These two characters—Scarlett and Rosie March hunt creatures called Fenris (i.e. werewolves).
Both of these sisters are portrayed beautifully, with each one having their own unique voice. The older sister Scarlett is the harsher, tougher sister. She believes strongly in the hunt and because of their past takes it very personally. Her main reason for hunting is revenge.
Rosie on the other hand is the softer, gentler sister. She doesn’t like hunting as much, and cares more about her sister and their good friend Silas. Her main reason for hunting is guilt. Even though these two are very different, both of their actions get influenced heavily by how it will affect their sister. They also share a mutual interest towards Silas. How they react to their feeling, and act on them is just as interesting and unique as the way these two girls balance each other perfectly.
Jackson Pearce did a beautiful job painting her characters in this story, and giving them dimension. The balance of action to romance is just as perfect as her portrayal of Scarlett and Rosie. You won’t want to put it down.

Good Points
The characters are easily relatable.
Gore defenitely satisfies.
Enough humor that you won't have a heart attack while reading.

This was a gripping, dark, fully enjoyable read. Pierce turns a common
fairy tale into pure bloody awesomeness with her wonderful writing and
alternating points of view. It's not a re-telling though, instead it is
fully original and surprising story based in the popular folktale Little Red Riding Hood. Explores dark
desires, passions and dedications while yet having the right amount of
romance. Involves family, friendship and friendship becoming family.
The
characters were strikingly clever. Scarlett was a very strong
character, and even though she's frustrating and unbearable at times,
you can't help but love her and understand Rosie. The ending was
somewhat predictable, at some point you can definitely see it coming,
but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The cover is genius! Seriously one of the
most eye-catching non-pictured covers ever. If you enjoy urban fantasy
you will love this one!
