I got this for free during Stuff Your Kindle Day. This was definitely a pleasant surprise! The characters were charming and there's was just the right amount of world-building for a short piece. I do wish there was a bit more build-up prior to Aldrich and Red consummating their relationship, but it wasn't a big deal.

A twist on Little Red Riding Hood. Not the best thing I've ever read, but there's basically secret alpha which was fun.

Before diving into this book, it's essential to be aware that it contains a mention of a conversion camp and touches upon themes of homophobia, so please be mindful.

Now, as for the content, I must admit I was surprised by the sexual aspects presented in the story. The portrayal of Aldrich as a switch was intriguing and added an enjoyable dynamic. Additionally, the inclusion of knotting caught me off guard, as it was unexpected.

Initially, I didn't have high expectations for this book, but it ended up being a pleasant surprise. Although I wished for more insights into Aldrich and his coven, the overall story was heartwarming, and the ending was quite satisfying. All in all, I found it to be an enjoyable and sweet read.

This was an enjoyable short read. I loved the characters, and even though the world-building was minimal it still set a nice scene. I guess I just wanted more - more of Aldrich's backstory, more dramatic tension, and more of Red and Aldrich together outside of the bedroom. The ending was quite lovely and sweet, though.
