Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce

   Jackson Pearce has definitely become one of my favorite book authors. She has definitely created individuality for herself, which I just truly adore. You may not know, but Jackson Pearce is most well known for turning famous fairy tale books ( ex: Little Red Riding Hood, The Little Mermaid, Hatsen and Gretel) and twisting it so it's a little different from the original. In "Sisters Red," Jackson Pearce retells Little Red Riding Hood. Instead of Little Red Riding Hood being oblivious to her surrounds, "Sisters Red" introduces two " Little Red Riding Hoods" who are not oblivious and not innocent. 

Summary from amazon: Scarlet March lives to hunt the Fenris--the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She's determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead. 
Rosie March once felt her bond with her sister was unbreakable. Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts ferociously alongside her. But even as more girls' bodies pile up in the city and the Fenris seem to be gaining power, Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves. She finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax and Scarlett's only friend--but does loving him mean betraying her sister and all that they've worked for?
 
Rating: 5/5 stars 
"Sisters Red" is truly unique and it's a great read. There is romance, violence, and definitely mystery in this book. Too bad it's not a series. It's a great book!
