I was given this book to review as part of a book tour for my honest opinion.This was my first book to read by Rebekah Ganiere and it will not be my last! Rebekah had me pulled in right from the beginning and wrote in the style that I love. When I am able to see the story unfold in my mind like a movie I know I am hooked! Rebekah describes all the characters and the surroundings so that I was able to get the perfect visual of what I was reading. This alone will get 5 stars in my book!The story is about a girl named Redlynn and takes place in the year 1200 AD. She is part of the Sisterhood of the Red and they are the protectors of a village in Volkzene, Fairelle. The sister’s are sworn to protect the villagers from the Were. The girls are raised and trained their whole life to become a sister of the sisterhood. Red was always treated differently from the rest of the girls no one would ever look her in the eyes and avoided her at all cost even though she was the best of the sisterhood. One night when she was not on patrol it was claimed that two were’s entered the village and killed a guard and took a little girl. This was not the first little girl to be kidnapped. The village blamed the killing and kidnapping on Redlynn because she left Anya her best friend on duty alone. Redlynn decides to go into the forest where they are forbidden to go to hunt down and kill the Were’s responsible and to kill the Were king. She packs a bag with supplies and clothes, she also grabs her bow and arrows, sword and cloak then leaves the village on her quest. Lilith the head of the order tells Redlynn if she leaves she will be banned from returning back into the sisterhood. This does not stop Redlynn she is hell bent on killing those responsible for killing her best friend and taking little girls from the village.Redlynn comes face to face with a small pack of Were and the is a fight, she is injured and knocked unconscious. When the leader of the pack Adrian arrives to the location of the fight he shifts into human form and takes her back to his castle to bring her to his healer. His pack has been sworn to protect the humans from the bloodsuckers and he is not going to leave her there to die. He has the strangest connection to her that he can’t explain. When back at the castle he asked the other men if they smell on her what he does… they all say no she just smells like a human. This has Adrian perplexed and is having a hard time staying away from her and to fight the urge to attack any of his pack that gets near her. As she heals and gets better things become clearer to Adrian and his closest pack mates. Redlynn is mean to me Adrian’s mate!I will leave my review at this point because I do not what to tell anything more and divulge any spoilers. But I can say this… If you like reading paranormal books about Were’s or have even read the story of Little Red Ridinghood this is a good choice for the adult version lol! This is not in any way an erotic romance, any romantic scenes are written with good taste. This book is the first in a series and it does not leave you hanging at the end but it does make you want to read the next book!Thank you Rebekah for the wonderful experience of reading your book, I look forward to reading all of the books that are still inside of your head waiting to land on paper.
