Red Riding Hood

By Daivd Leslie Johnson, Sarah Blakley-Cartwright, David Leslie Johnson

Book Overview

Valerie's sister was beautiful, kind, and sweet. Now she is dead. Henri, the handsome son of the blacksmith, tries to console Valerie, but her wild heart beats fast for another: the outcast woodcutter, Peter, who offers Valerie another life far from home. After her sister's violent death, Valerie's world begins to spiral out of control. For generations, the werewolf has been kept at bay with a monthly sacrifice. But no one is safe. When an expert wolf hunter arrives, the villagers learn that the creature lives among them - it could be anyone in town. It soon becomes clear that Valerie is the only one who can hear the voice of creature. The Wolf says she must surrender herself before the Blood Moon wanes . . . or everyone she loves will die. This is a dangerous new vision of a classic fairy tale, and for readers who want even more of Valerie's riveting story, a bonus chapter that extends the drama is available at http: //www.redridinghoodbook.com/.

Customer Reviews

No real ending.

The plot never wraps up, I was very dissatisfied. I won’t spoil was does happen in the book but just know by the end only maybe two plot lines will have a conclusion.

Thriller

I found no part slow, lovely detail painting a scene to capture you , then engulf you. Even though I’d seen the movie already the book was still worth the read. The movie is very close but ending is not the same. I used it as my going to bed book but it ended up keeping me awake it’s so fluid and good. I’d make time for the last few chapters, you don’t want to pause the build up to the climax

A hit!

The first quarter of the book was a bit slow and dragged on, but by the time the 2nd quarter starts, you will be glued to this book and won't be able to put it down. No spoilers!
