Book Description

Release Date: Jan 24 2011
Valerie's sister was beautiful, kind, and sweet. Now she is dead. Henri, the handsome son of the blacksmith, tries to console Valerie, but her wild heart beats fast for another: the outcast woodcutter, Peter, who offers Valerie another life far from home.

After her sister's violent death, Valerie's world begins to spiral out of control. For generations, the werewolf has been kept at bay with a monthly sacrifice. But no one is safe. When an expert wolf hunter arrives, the villagers learn that the creature lives among them - it could be anyone in town.

It soon becomes clear that Valerie is the only one who can hear the voice of creature. The Wolf says she must surrender herself before the Blood Moon wanes . . . or everyone she loves will die.

This is a dangerous new vision of a classic fairy tale, and for readers who want even more of Valerie's riveting story, a bonus chapter that extends the drama is available at http://www.redridinghoodbook.com/.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is a terrible book. Jan 31 2011
By Mark Twain
Format:Paperback
This is so awful because it doesn't end. There is hardly anything going on. And the characters are not believable. I was throughly disappointed. Red Riding Hood

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible April 27 2012
By ThreeSnailz
Format:Paperback
Aside from the no ending thing... this book is really badly written. I could have written it better and I don't write. Really. It's that bad. The narration jumps around. It "tells you" doesn't "show you" when it comes to characterization. It's really bad. Worst book I've attempted to read, honestly.

4.0 out of 5 stars An adult (or Young Adult) re-telling of a childhood classic! Jan 22 2012
By Darlene TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
I love fairy tale re-tellings, and this one did not disappoint. This version is based on the 2011 screenplay starring Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, and Lukas Haas.

Each month, the villagers of Daggerhorn offer a sacrifice (such as a goat) to the werewolf to appease him. It is a small price to pay to keep the residents safe. That is, until the Blood Red Moon appears. Legend has it that any person who is bit by the werewolf during the four-day period that the Blood Red Moon appears will be turned into a werewolf. When the body count starts to rise, no one is safe!

This book kept me guessing at every turn! Just when I thought that I had it all figured out, then came another twist. Blakley-Cartwright did a wonderful job keeping me on my toes, and who wouldn't fall for both Henry and Peter?! Their characters are wonderful, strong alpha males. Having one alpha male in a book is wonderful, but two - wow! Henry is the village's prime bachelor, who comes from a wealthy family. Peter, on the other hand, is a lowly woodcutter. The lucky girl torn between the two men is, Valerie, a woodcutter's daughter.

Some people may be put off by the book because there is no ending. I knew this going in, so it wasn't a problem for me. You can go to the book's website and download the extra chapter, or you can simply watch the movie to see how it all ends.

I never like to see the movie before reading the book, so I was careful not to watch any previews or movie trailers before reading the book. I actually didn't even know which actors were featured in the movie until I looked it up to write this review. I can't wait to see whether the movie lives up to the book!

This is my first narration by Moon, and I thought she did a great job. Her voice built up at the dramatic points, and the instrumental music accompaniment was a great enhancement!

MY RATING: 4 stars!! I really enjoyed it and recommend it to others who enjoy fairy tale re-tellings!
