A nice retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. I enjoyed the plotline, and Ruby was admittedly a badass lady. I wasn't a fan of the insta-lust (although it didn't quite veer into insta-love, for which I am very grateful for) and I did get a mild feeling of whiplash over some of the characters' actions / opinions, especially when it didn't seem to mesh with what I already thought of them.
It was not a story I really adored, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Will probably pick up the next in the series at some point.

And Lucas' attempt to put Ruby under his control at the end just made me wish he hadn't survived the werewolf attack. I'm definitely glad she put him in his place for it.It was not a story I really adored, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Will probably pick up the next in the series at some point.

This was a quick read, but there was a lot of death and gore. Fair warning.
I liked the premise and the early parts of the book, but it kind of lost me at the end. The writing was choppy and the story was uneven. It felt like she was trying to hard to be a badass. I didn't understand why she had to be humiliated by stripping in front of everyone. The ending was very abrupt and the story didn't really seem to have a point. What would happen to them in the future? There was really no resolution.
It had some good bones, so I'm going to try another in the series, but I can't really say that I liked it.

Received an arc from the author for a review of this book.
I really enjoyed this quick read. A different take on red riding hood. Love that ruby is a strong woman that fights her own battles and loved the gram character. Didn't care for the hate to insta lust of the main characters but I am not a fan of that romance angle in any books. I loved ruby as the hunter avenging her family and the wolf saving gram from the bad wolf pack such a unique take will recommend to others.
