Customer Reviews

Another great book from the author.

'Little Red Riding Hood' with a strange twist. You can see the classic elements to the story but you also have no idea where it's gonna take you. It takes ones tiny part from the first book you almost forget and makes it the main focus. But no spoilers!

This is so far my favorite out of the series.

I absolutely love Scarlet! As a character as a book it didn't disappoint one bit.

Loved, loved loved it!!

Sent this series of books to my daughter and she just couldn't stop "Gushing" about them!

Scarlet and her wolf

This story, like all in the series does not disappoint. Cinder and Scarlet team up to fight Queen Levana as more surprising secrets get revealed. These books blend seamlessly as each new story is brought in. I have enjoyed reading this series.
