This is not the classic Little Red Riding Hood.  It's set in 1800s France and Scarlette is just turning 19. I was not sure if I'd like this story since it was tagged as being #1 Teen Historical ebook.  I haven't seen my teens for a while now. :)  I decided to check it out because I enjoy a new take on an original fairy tale and love thrillers.  I was quite happy with this story.  It had me wanting to know what would happen next.Some have criticized Scarlette for some of her choices in the book but I felt that for her age they made sense.  I will say that for being classified as historical and romantic I didn't really feel the book had much of those characteristics.  They certainly did not overwhelm the book.  I enjoyed it and would certainly read more books by Ms. Juroe.  Overall, if you liked the movie Red Riding Hood that came out in 2011 then I think you'll enjoy this book.
