I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest, unbiased review, as a part of my Goodreads book club. All thoughts and opinions are my own.'Red and Her Wolf' is book #3 in the Kingdom series from author Marie Hall, and it features the REAL story behind the Little Red Riding Hood tale we all heard as children. The big bad wolf is personified as Ewan, who is deliciously handsome and bad to the bone. 'Red' is Violet, who is really the 'Heartsong' (stay with me), who is an immortal in the land of Kingdom. Violet has some serious issues -- mainly, that she is evil incarnate -- literally. But she doesn't want to be evil, she just is. Can someone really change, if all they've ever known is the embrace of hatred? Ewan has marked Violet as his mate, and he will stop at nothing to make sure she is safe. Will Violet ever be able to return his love, or will she be wrapped in hate for all of eternity?I love what Marie Hall is doing with my childhood favorites in these books! I devoured 'Her Mad Hatter' (LOVE) and was very excited to see 'Red' come up in my Goodreads book club to review. This is a world that she has humanized and made REAL, and I must admit that I am seriously enjoying getting to know these bad boys.The only negative thing I could say about this book is that there are a lot of grammatical mistakes throughout - I think with some polishing this could be first-rate. This book is a deliciously fun read, and I would recommend to anyone 18+ (some bow-chicka-wow-wow pushed the readability meter up a smidge).
