Red’s Tangled Tale
By
Suzanna Lynn
Author Suzanna Lynn likes to put a new spin on traditional Fairy tales. This story adds new life to an old tale, little red riding hood, the difference is in this story we get to learn how Hook finds the ash. Also we meet Rapunzel. Enough said, however because I encourage you to read the book actually I encourage you to read both the first one and this one. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
This author is very talented. You won’t be disappointed!!
This is the second Book in Suzanna Lynn’s series. Let me just say I love this book! The way she weaves her storyline and the richness of the characters just gets better with each turn of the page. In the first book we saw a glimpse of captain jameson shaw (later captain james hook) make a friend in Red riding hood. In this book we see that it was not a chance encounter but an alliance in the making. We are getting closer to the all powerful villains but will they be able to trust and get there in time? Read and find out! you will be on the edge of your set and reaching for the next book in no time.

I’m absolutely loving this authors version of these childhood favorites. This one is definitely my favorite yet, I can’t wait to read more from her. Red’s Tangled Tale will pull you in from the beginning and kept my attention till the end. I had to know what was going to happen next. Get ready to be taken on quite the adventure with Little Red Riding Hood as she goes hunting for The Big Bad Wolf. Find out what happens next in this must read. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.
Red’s Tangled Tale (Book Two of the Untold Stories series) by Suzanna Lynn was a great read! So far I think this one may be my favorite of this series! It was so much darker than the first one was, with several twists I wasn’t expecting at all! I love seeing all of these classic fairy tales told in a different way, with twists and turns and all the characters becoming entwined on some way, shape or form. I can’t wait to see where Red’s and Hook’s adventures take them next in the next installment! This series is great for all ages and is quickly becoming a favorite of mine!
I am a huge fan of fairy tales and this book was just as great as the first book in the series. If you have not read book one, please read it first, it’s a must I think. Mainly because I just loved it plus it will help you better understand this story. I love how the author takes the characters that we already know and love and shows them in a different light. She gives them a back story and makes them heroes. Very exciting read filled with adventure, magic, drama, friendships and so much more! I can not wait to see what is in store in the next book in the series.
This is my first book by this author. Re Tangled is an very nice interesting read. This retelling imange of red riding hood is well done it’s a different way of Red been strong instead of a weak little girl.
Suzanna Lynn has done it again the second installment to this series Red’s Tangled Tale had this reader glued to her seat and wanting more. The first installment Hook’s Little Mermaid left me instantly looking for the second installment and I wasn’t disappointed. We are first introduced to Red in Hook’s Little Mermaid, but Red’s Tangled Tale delves deep into Red’s life, where we learn vital details of what makes Red tick. Once again Suzanna Lynn gives us great character development, a painted picture in her scenery descriptions, and more action. Red’s Tangled Tale is full of everything that a fantasy reader could ask for including pirates, wolves, a troubled town and a cursed forest, and several other fascinating twists and turns. If your looking for a great fantasy series then I highly recommend this series and specifically Red’s Tangled Tale by miss Suzanna Lynn.
Red’s Untangled Tale is a fantastic story about Little Red Riding Hood. Rosalee or Rose has a hard life in her village. She takes good care of her Gran and many of the villagers. The story takes a fun turn when Red meets Rapunzel. Suzanna Lynn does another masterful job of bringing in elements of several children’s stories. I enjoyed this retelling and cannot wait to read the next story in the series.
I was excited to read the second in the Untold Stories series as I really enjoyed the first one and this one did not disappoint. After briefly meeting Red in the first book, I was excited to delve into her story and find out her Untold Story. Living in the land of Timbergard, fifteen-year-old Red hunts the woods in the night taking down the deadly super wolves that haunt the forest. After going on a quest with a returned Captain James Hook, nee Shaw, to the ash fields, she encounters a pack of wolves and must run for her life. She stumbles upon a mysterious tower that leads her to question all that she knows about the wolves in the wood. I really enjoy Flynn’s retellings of the classic fairytales. Her world building is brilliant, and the story envelops me. A really enjoyable read.
This is the second book in the Untold Stories series. I loved this book just as much as the first one. I highly recommend reading the first book as characters flow into this story. I love the classic childhood stories, and these classic stories just got elevated. The story is a unique take on Little Red Riding Hood. Red is hunting for the Big Bad Wolf with Captain Hook entering into this story. How will it end? You will have to read this book to find that out for yourself.
I LOVED this book, the second in the series of the “Untold Series” and this book did NOT disappoint! I loved reading on Red’s tale and having Captain Hook along for the ride. We also get to meet Rapunzel in this story as well as her character is tied in. I very much highly recommend this series, can I cannot wait to continue how each book ties in new characters and to hear their story lines.
This book two of a series knocked my socks off. This was so great. It has the tale of Red Riding Hood mixed with Captain Hook mixed with Rapunzel! I loved the first book which was Captain Hook’s adventure, so I had high hopes for this one. It didn’t disappoint. I don’t want to give too much away but the ability for the author to thread so much into a story without it being too complicated is awesome. I’m so impressed. Can’t wait for book 3!
Little Red Riding Hood is the little girl who skips through the woods to visit her grandmother and bring her treats, but who is also scared of the Big Bad Wolf, but this is not necessarily true, she actually lives with her grandmother and Red is the name the villagers who who shun her have given her because of her red cloak she wears and she isn’t scared of the Big Bad Wolf, she hunts him.
Red lives in Ravenmore in an area known as Timbergard by the Blakx forest where huge wolves prowl on a night, it is said to have been cursed by a sorceress and cut off from the rest of the kingdom by another who used a fire to burn a border, which it is said to be still burning, but out of all who live there, only Red’s father was brave enough to go hunting in those woods, now it is up to Red to do since he was killed by the wolves a year before. When Red kills a wolf the merchants are always trying to short change her from everything from the meat to the pelt, despite the fact that they would be cold and starving if she didn’t hunt, but when she brings the latest prepared kill, an old friend, Captain Hook helps her out with the pelt, but he has changed and Red is determined to find out why. After Hook tells Red his tale, she agrees to help him to through the forest and collect some of the ash he needs from the border, so they prepare what they need, albeit the pirates think that Red is just a girl, the Captain soon puts them right and they agree that they will meet at Red’s grandmother’s house and set off at first light the next day
As Red and the pirates set off, much to the dismay of her grandmother, Red explains that she will lead the way and that they must listen to her, but the pirates aren’t used to long treks in the forest and after a few hours, they stop to eat, drink and rest, this is were one of the pirates sees his first wolf print and the size of it scares him. Later on, as it starts to get dark, Red insists that they find somewhere to camp for the night, the best place she finds is a cave at the source of the river, it means they have to wade through the cold water to it, but it will be safe and somewhere they can light a fire to dry off. The next day the pirates start to complain about being tired and hungry, so they rest before they get the ash, however, because of this, they are still a ways away from the cave when night starts to fall and the wolves start to hunt them, so Red has to make a drastic decision and she decides to run and lead the wolves away from the pirates. As she does it, she falls down a hill and when she gets to the bottom, she sees a white wolf chasing her, it reminds her of the one who chased her out of the woods the night of her father’s death, but soon she sees a place ahead of her which is far from ordinary, but it is something which could save her life.
Will Red be able to lead the wolves away from the pirates and will this mysterious place be the saving grace she hopes it is, or will there be something inside which could spell the end of her existence? This is a story of secrets, revelations, bravery and magic, it is another untold story which will change your view of Red and fairy tales in general while leaving you wanting more.
This is the second book in The Untold Stories Series. I really enjoyed this book. It was definately not what I expected which was great. Some retelling of old tales can become a bit boring as authors try not to stray to far from the original. However this one blows the original story and the the thought you have about Red Riding Hood to bits.
In this story Red is a strong young woman looking for revenge against the wolves that killed her father. She is strong willed and determined. When an old friend James Hook returns with a mission Red jumps at the chance to help him. Joining Hook on his mission leads Red down a path she never would have dreamed of and introduces more characters we know and love.

Red’s Tangled Tale: Captain Hook and Red Riding Hood discover the Big Bad Wolf, and Rapunzel too! (The Untold Stories #2) by Suzanna Lynn
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. It won’t be my last as I’ve fallen for this series. Lynn knows how to turn our normal fairytales into another world.
Little Red Riding Hood has a name and it’s not Red. Her name is Rose and she isn’t out hunting just one wolf. She’s hunting wolves as in more than one because they killed her family. She runs into James again although this time he’s got a hook for a hand. Join them on they’re journeys. The quote I chose for Rose is: “Yes, you are a good man, James. You’re a good man who did some very foolish things and was manipulated by an evil witch. One act of idiocy doesn’t set you for life as an evil man.”
Highly recommended for YA Fantasy lovers.
I cannot say this enough Lynn is amazing!! Seriously, I was impressed by the first book, taking a well-known tale and putting its own interesting and intriguing spin on it, but this one just went above and beyond. Red riding hood is a well-known tale, and there was a period where the story was sort of played around with a bit. What I remember of these attempts was that they were okay, but they just didn’t do much. Lynn is ambitious and creative with the way she takes the classics that we know and love and weaves a more nuanced and mature tale, that blurs the line of good and bad, and reveals the human nature in all the characters.
Red has always been a badass really, even in the original tale she still showed either pure idiocy or bravery that is very rare. In this she is a hunter, seeking out those that killed her father. When Captain Hook shows up – somehow now my favorite character, years of childish hatred be damned – she decides to help him locate the rare burning ash in the Blakx Forest. The same forest where her father died and where pretty everyone in her village is afraid to go, for good reason mind because that is where the wolves like to hang out, and it turns out they aren’t very friendly.
This is a great adventure story, and even without its ties to the classic tales that everyone knows and loves, it is fantastic. The characters are so changed and explored so much more deeply that they feel new and refreshing, and you honestly can’t help but love them. I have the next book in the series lined up and ready to read because I honestly cannot get enough of Lynn’s storytelling.
The author continues to absolutely capture my attention and hold me captive with this series of books. I love her take on classic fairytales and her attention to detail as she weaves beloved tales together to create a new adventure. I loved this look into Red Riding Hood and her history. I love the tenacity that is brought forward in a little girl that is reduced to a silly and inattentive wisp quite often. Loved every page and cannot wait to read book 3!
Suzanna Lynn is the author of the Untold Stories series and Red’s Tangled Tale: Captain Hook and Red Riding Hood discover the Big Bad Wolf, and Rapunzel too! Is the second book in the series. The books are YA fantasy stories and Suzanna’s unique and original take on historically loved characters and their adventures. Suzanna’s narrative is fairy tale meets fantasy that is enjoyable and exciting. Red Riding Hood, Captain Hook and the gang will never look the same again. Discovering Suzanna’s world all by yourself and without giving anything away is half the fun the other half is this fun tale. If you like Once Upon a Time you will like this series
Red’s Tangled Tale: Captain Hook and Red Riding Hood discover the Big Bad Wolf, and Rapunzel to! By Suzanne Lynn is the second book in the Untold Stories series. This is another unique and interesting twist on some classic tales. I thought this book was even better than the first and I loved getting back into the character of Captain Hook. His journey is taking him through new lands where he meets some new characters – Red being the one we really get to know. I thought the whole story was well written and really added to the series as a whole. It is hard to add such an original twist on such well known stories and yet this author has managed to go just that. I am looking forward to seeing what is to come next.
I just got around to reading this book after finishing Hook’s Little Mermaid earlier this month. And I must say that this was a great follow-up story in the series. I am a huge fan of fairy-tales and this was no exception. The way that the author mixes different fairy-tale characters within one another is phenomenal. She takes these characters that we already know and love so well and makes them into the heroes that we know they are just didn’t have the rest of the story to go with them. She also may or may not foretell of some characters for the future books, but she will keep you engaged and guessing. And trust me, you will love the way she weaves the stories and characters together. I will say that if you haven’t read the previous book then you may have some issues with the story so keep that in mind if you decide to read just this story.
