Redlynn, wakes up to find her village has been attacked by weres. Her best friend dead. Now she has no one left. She vows to hunt down and kill the Were king to avenge her best friends death and bring the kidnapped girls back home. She sets off into the forest, against the Head Sisters orders.What she finds in the forest is unexpected to say the least. After being attacked, she is rescued and taken to a castle to heal. She's never felt more at home and safe even though the people helping her seem to be hiding something. There is more hidden in the forest then Red knows. Red fights to figure out who to trust and how to save the missing girls of her order, but does she have to choose between what her heart long for and what she knows she must do?It might be no surprise but I love alternate takes on fairy tales. As I read the prolog I immediately loved the twist on the classic story. I was hooked.I really enjoyed this book. The character development was great, each character had their own voice, and own personality. The details were great, and I found it really easy to imagine what Red's world looked like.This was a beautifully crafted story that I think everyone will love! There were so many tiny details in this book that connects it with the original story, it just makes it that much deeper and symbolic.I loved the line "What beautiful eyes you have" it was one of my favorite scenes, because it pulled the classic fairytale and this new take together even more. I can not wait to read the next installment of this series.
