Story Behind The Book
Once upon a time, Red Riding Hood fell in love with the wolf. It ended badly.
Reviews
If I said this was one of the best books I've read this year, I would
feel like I was making an understatement. Even giving it five stars
seems like an understatement. It's that good. I've waited for this book
to come out for a long time, and it was definitely worth the wait. I was
pulled into the story from page one, and I could barely make myself
stop reading long enough to do things that needed to be done. You know,
like go to work. Very well written, exciting, romantic...these are just a
few words to describe this story that wove it's way into my heart. I
won't write a synopsis because some of the other reviewers have already
done that. I'll just say that if you want to be completely blown away by
a good story, whether you're a young adult or an "older" adult, you
have to buy this book! ~Lauralynn Elliott on Amazon.com<br /><br />I have followed Kait on Twitter for awhile now and have seen the "birth"
of this book through her blog. I knew it was targeted to a Young Adult
market but thought I'd give it a try.
<br /><br />Downloaded a Kindle copy of Red a few hours ago. Thought I'd read a
few pages, get a feel for it...I just FINISHED it. I was lost.
Completely and utterly lost. Hours went by and I had no idea!
<br /><br />Wow. Just fantastic. Characters were so real it was like I could see
them in front of me. Unlike the usual teen angst-filled, hormone-fueled
drama found in much of today's novels the characters in Red are fully
formed and capable of intelligent thoughts and actions. Plus they don't
sparkle...always a plus.
<br /><br />Thank you, Kait, for such a great read.
<br /><br />Now go write more...and hurry!
