I’ve read a few retelling novels. Most of them have been retellings of the Beauty and the Beast, but this was my first dark romance retelling. As a fan of Red Riding Hood stories (both Hoodwinked and the 2011 movie with Amanda Seyfried), I was so excited to discover this book thanks to my sister.
The characters are so diverse in their backgrounds, and the web of connectivity only grows more complex as the tale unfolds. This books was truly so hard to put down. I’m so excited to read the sequel, and I’ll be getting my hands on a physical copy one of these days. If you haven’t checked this out, I highly recommend it!
