Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce 324 pages

Fairy tales have taken a twist to the macabre in this variant of Little Red Riding Hood. This tale told alternately by two sisters, Scarlett and Rose has tension tightened exponentially when it is not just a wolf knocking at the door but Fenris clans (werewolf like creatures). Scarlett has been literally scarred by a previous meeting with a Fenris and has become a Buffie-like slayer, consumed with the need to hunt down these creatures. Rose is more timid and not sure she wants to make this her career. Enter the woodsman, Silas, a friend from their past. Rose finds herself drawn to this hunk, but is reluctant to ditch her needy sister.
