OK I am usually very stingy with my 5 stars but this one just did it for me.
I have read several fairytale retellings and with each one, I am hesitant to read them though I like them because I figure we will have some duds with it being a popular genre. On top of that Red Riding Hood is never a favorite for me so, I am even more hesitant to read those retellings. However, this one is my favorite Red Riding Hood/Big Bad Wolf to date!
We had a hot and heavy schmecksy scene before you are 10% in and yes, that seems rushed but I think it fits with the story.
I think Roberds did a great job with the story line and the world she has for her retellings is a new one for me and I liked it! Can't wait for the next book!
