My favourite things about Rosamund Hodge's books are the places she dreams up. Such incredible wondrous places where sinister things happen.

i liked the feel of the book a lot; dark fairy-tale with evocative descriptions.

This book was no match for Cruel Beauty. The story had a lot of promise, but it fell very flat.

Rosamund Hodge has earned my trust with only two books! Favorite new author!

Like the idea, hate the writing. Hodge comes up with interesting takes for her books, just wish I could enjoy the writing.

I really loved Rachelle and Armand, the world building was amazing, I loved it. It was pretty dark when it needed to be, which really added to the fairy tale aspect of the story, my favourite part.
I liked the romance well enough, but it went downhill in the second half, and the love triangle didn't help.

A super good fantasy and a very fun read. I had a few problems with it so let’s get started:
First of all, the romance was weak. I like Erec so much more than Armand since the author spent all her time hyping her and Erec up for the sole purpose of the bamboozle that he was bad. Meanwhile, she tried to slip Armand into the arena but I did not care about Armand. I was always a team Erec person until he was all evil(but honestly I saw it coming) and even after that I didn’t feel any emotion towards Armand. I felt like Erec had the entire Frenemies to lover story line not Armand.
THAT BEING SAID: the book was fantastic. The forest was creepy as hell, well the entire book was creepy as hell. It perfectly “retells” the story of little red riding hood by not even making it about that. She did the same thing in Cruel Beauty and it was fabulous. I wish she had come out with more than just the two books, but alas I’m satisfied with the two. I loved the darkness that was Crimson Bound and I didn’t hate Rachelle in the slightest.
