Yeah ^-^ It took me like 2 minutes to do, um, that ^ so I'm going to copy and paste my book review off goodreads. Sorry, I'm a lazy butt. But I'll add onto it.
(Cool cover, right? I thought so)
"Scarlett 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 fiercely alongside her. Now Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves and finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax—but loving him means betraying her sister and has the potential to destroy all they’ve worked for."
This book had an epic chance to fail; there were only three main characters that were consistants in the story, and that means you have less wiggle room with characters. Throw in the fact that they're all working toward the same goal and that two of them think the same way, and you're bound to get a boring story.
This book, however, stayed consistantly interesting. I loved all the main characters, different as they may be, and in this case I actually liked the sqitch perspective; Ms. Pierce handled it very well. To be honest, I expected it to be fairytale like. I was (obliviously) suprised to see it was a modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, in a way, though I shouldn't have been- it's even called Sister's red. So this would be Red Riding Hood if Red had a sister she was willing to die for to protect and a hot partner to help her take out the werewolves. I normally dislike seeing my Lycans thrown in a bad light, but they were delightful bad guys and I didn't really mind all that much. The way they distinguished different packs was very interesting.
The only reason this didn't get a [8] star was because part of it was supposed to be a big shocker and I guessed it within the first 30 pages. So the end was kind of 'mleh' for me, but through no real fault of the authors. It just didn't surprise me like it was designed to.
However, it was a very interesting read =) And, in case you were wondering, Scarlett was a total bad@$$ Highly recomended

Anyways, that's pretty much all I did today besides get some killer pictures of fireworks I'm too lazy to upload >.< I have a headache, probably from watching things explode right in my face. Very intertaining, but painful.
For those of you who still give a monkey's uncle what I'm writing and working on, I'm still running strong with Frozen =) 54k now. I hope to finish it by summer, and it will be the first book I've ever finished that isn't remotely Darkest Ebony related <3 I'm so happy with it. I love Camilla ^-^ I'll probably post a few excerpts soon, just for the heck of it.
Oh, and while I'm on my blog anyways, I have a new project I'm brooding over ^-^"' I'm still finishing Frozen and probably Remember (My demon project, if you... recall XD) first, but I have a new idea playing about. I think it's going to be called Specter. I'll let your imaginations handle the rest ;)
Peace, Love, and Vampires Dairies, peeps =)
