This is not The Little Red Riding Hood we grew up with.
Supernatural races—vampires, werewolves, witches, you name it—all exist.
Eighteen-year-old Rue Chaperon and her family belong to an elite hunting society, the S.H.A—Supernatural Hunting Association—and what the Chaperons hunt best are werewolves.
When a new hunting group convinces the Chaperons to team up with them and try a different … a different approach to hunting the supernatural by taking out the Alpha, it sounded like a great idea.
Taking out the Alpha meant they’d eradicate the entire race.
Piece of cake, right?
But nothing is ever easy when you’re a hunter.
A Little Red Riding Hood retelling with a spin that will make you believe not all fairytales were meant for children

I was hooked from the start. It was such a different twist on all the fairytales and a completely different outlook on how werewolves look too . I absolutely enjoyed this book and totally need more , I can’t believe it’s ended. Almost a cliffhanger ending and knowing that there isn’t another book is almost killing me.
Adrienne woods writes some absolutely amazing books.

Rue is eighteen years old, and her family hunts werewolves, but they are unaware of her secret. Can she keep the secret from them? What if they learn her secret? It cost her Grandma her freedom, will Rue lose hers too? An outside hunting group convinces their family to join them in their hunt for the Alpha, who could be the key to bringing the werewolves down. Can they trust this new group of hunters? I loved this page turning supernatural romance, that had a bit of a light touch of the Little Red Riding Hood tale, Rue is a strong woman (who is probably more mature than her age, due to what she had dealt with), and Collin just draws you in with his charm (and is a bit more complex than he first seems).

4 Cranky Stars
Werewolves, Vampires, Witches and other supernatural beings are all told as fairytales, stories. Are they really just fairytales or stories though? Is everyone always the villain or can they be the good guys?
This book is mainly about werewolves and the hunters. Hunters are born to hunt, that’s what they do. They are trained from an early age what to do and to kill or be killed. Ru is a hunter, but she is not as good as her brother or sister, but Ru has visions like her grandmother did but she will not tell her family. Her family is a part of the Supernatural Hunting Association (SHA). They hunt werewolves and her and her family are good at it. Ru has an older sister Elizabeth (Lizzie) and Theo and then it’s just her father.
One day another group of Hunters came to Ru’s farm and asked for help to catch some werewolves. They wanted to find the Alpha so they needed help catching the other wolves without killing them to get information out of them. Ru’s family helps and goes to training and does the hunts.
One of the other hunters is named Collin. His story is he we aced by wolves while his family was killed by them. Not all true. Lizzie, Ru’s sister falls for Collin hard, Collin doesn’t feel the same and tries to let her down easy….Lizzie isn’t happy. The hunts go on, things happen, Collin saves Ru’s life and gets hurt, “almost dies”. While healing, Ru and Collin have to stay at Ru’s house while the others hunt because Collin isn’t healed and Ru can’t control her visions. Of course they fall for each other.
I have always said that things are not as they seem. Collin and his group are not who they seem. Ru’s father discovers the truth and Ru betrays her family. Did she stay with the one she loves? Did her family forgive her?
I like the book. I would recommend it to others. It gets a 4 out 5 Cranky starts from me.
Prequel to a larger supernatural world and series. Twisted retelling of Little Red riding Hood and I could not put this down!
Ru, our young hunter, starts having visions that shape the future of not only her and her family, but their world. Collin, hunter as well, as they set forth to track a werewolf alpha. Loved these two characters!
Quite the suspenseful read! Fast paced action filled with shifters, vampires, seers, and, of course, hunters and werewolves. Who can tell who is who? Sometimes there are secrets within your own pack. Author kept me intrigued and guessing throughout.
Ending wasn’t as fulfilling as I would have liked for any feeling of closure; very open-ended, but it was not a cliffhanger.
Enjoyed reading from start to finish, didnt want it to end! Adrienne Woods grabs your attention and pulls you in, leaving you wanting more! Well written with a unique storyline, this is not your average supernatural story!
