Title: Red Riding Hood
Author: Sarah Blakley-Cartwright
Introduction by: Catherine Hardwicke
Description:
THE BLACKSMITH WOULD MARRY HER.
THE WOODCUTTER WOULD RUN AWAY WITH HER.
THE WEREWOLF WOULD TURN HER INTO ONE OF ITS OWN.
Valerie's sister was beautiful, kind, and sweet. Now she is dead. Henry, the handsome son of the blacksmith, tries to console Valerie, but her wild heart beats fast for another: the outcast woodcutter, Peter, who offers Valerie another life far from home.
After her sister's violent death, Valerie's world begins to spiral out of control. For generations, the Wolf has been kept at bay with a monthly sacrifice. But now no one is safe. When an expert Wolf hunter arrives, the villagers learn that the creature lives among them--it could be anyone in town.
It soon becomes clear that Valerie is the only one who can hear the voice of the creature. The Wolf says she must surrender herself before the blood moon wanes...or everyone she loves will die.
Based on a screenplay written by David Leslie Johnson.
Review:
A beautiful story, a beautiful love story and beautiful characters, I could not put down the book and I've read it all in one go!
I dare say it is a crude, frightening tale, where every emotions are involved... Love, loneliness, sadness, grief, betrayal, companionship, fear, courage....
I won't say much about characters, because you have to find out by yourself, or it'd be spoiler....
But i liked Valerie, Peter and Henry very much. Lucie not much... And disliked their girl friends very much too.
Although I liked this book, the end left me a bit disappointed... I was like "WTF??!!"
But I would recommend to read this book, because it is amazing!
So, now, tell me please that there will be a sequel!
***4 stars***
