Review From www.martinitimes.com - Martini Times RomanceI bought this book from Amazon.This modern day retelling of the fairytale Little Red Ridding Hood is much darker than what you may be used to. In this book, Red and Her Wolf, Red isn't as sweet as you may remember. Instead she's the one who succumbs to violence and hate, born from evil fairy magic, and only her wolf can keep her from letting that hate consume her.This whole series is fun. Full of magic, fairy godmothers, sexy villians that are actually good at heart, they just need their mate to tame them and bring them back from the hurt they faced in their pasts.Ewan was so close to having his mate decads ago, but a pressing evil was out to destroy the Heartsong named Violet. So she was whisked away to Earth to be hidden and protected. All this time Ewan was led to believe that his mate was on Kingdom with him by his godmother, Danika, but she lied to him and led him on fake missions of finding Violet (his Red) so that he wouldn't give in to the tormant and pain of being ripped from his mate's side.Violet, whom everyone refers to as Red, is the Heartsong. She was a baby born of the powerful Ten's (the godmother council) evil side of their magic that they released. No one was to have access to the Heartsong because of the great potential danger she represents. So for her entire life she has been secreted away living with her grandmother (a fairy dictated to watch over her.)Then one day, her grandmother turns on her and wolves have come to kill her. One of the wolves realizes that Violet is his mate and he kills the other wolf and the grandmother to protect his mate. He instantly knew that she was his and he turned his back on direct orders from the evil godmother whom he did his bidding for.The godmother coucil realized that something is afoot and with Jana the good fairy godmother dead for her betrayal, another fairy must step up and protect the Heartsong or they need to kill her right then and there.However a sight seeing fairy steps up,after having a vision of how this should play out, she volunteers to be shunned from Kingdom and banished to Earth with Violet.Decades later, Ewan is feeling the strain of not having his mate and wallows, until Danika comes to him and tells him it's time to find his mate, though she warns that Red isn't as sweet as he may think.During her years on Earth, Violet has had her memories altered and believes that the wolf named Ewan killed her sweet grandmother and the hate for him has festered until nearly all her purness is gone. And as she embraces the evil that thrums through her veins, she begins to harness a power she was told she'd never possess.This book is dark, but so sexy and sweet at the same time. Ewan will do anything for his mate and his dedication is so romatnic and thrilling. Viloet struggles with her growing feelingsd for the wolf whom claims to be her mate, but she has extreme trouble with that knowledge because of the years of hate she's built up. Red and Wolf is brilliant and full of intreguing twists and turns.I loved it and hope you do too. Marie Hall is a brilliant story teller with a very vivid imagination and the talent to paint her visions with words that will open doors to a whole new world for her readers.Review From www.martinitimes.com - Martini Times Romance
