420

***420 is a modern day re-telling of Little Red Riding Hood with a stoner twist.***
Short Story at 20,000 words.

Wolf is a legend, a rebel in the street art world. Museums have paid millions just for him to recreate the hard-hitting political images he’s portrayed on buildings all over the world.
Yet, only a few know his true identity.

Red is a rising star. Her murals throughout Miami’s poverty-stricken streets have triggered a craze in not only the art world, but in Wolf.

He’s on Red’s trail, sniffing out her scent in the graffiti jungles of Wynwood and luring her to one of his legendary 420 parties—where true stoners join together on April 20th to partake of the greatest herb.

Red has no time for men. Yet, Wolf is not the type to give up.

Can Red stay on the path and avoid being ate by the big, bad wolf?

Or, will they both collide, on a sensual journey, where weed smoke slips against bare skin and dreams equate to
a box full of spray paint,
an empty wall,
a voice for the people,
and two rebels’ hearts beating to the cadence of Miami’s rough streets?

Contact high.

This is a quick, short read that packs a heck of a punch!
The cover, the graphics in the book! Amazing!
Finally an author that takes pride in her work and tries to entertain her readers in fresh new ways.
I love how she takes us to different places and groups, while everyone else is giving us some weak alpha billionaire crap-nonsense, Kenya Wright is giving us something new, the streets of Miami, street graffiti and a group of 420 stoners.

I find smoking weed is disgusting. the stench is nauseating. as if we didn't go thru a crack cocaine epidemic the other day.
and no to graffiti. what next? child sacrifice? why the author would think these two things together would make a story worth telling, is beyond me.
to the dustbin this piece of crap goes.

I love this writer

I really liked the book. However the story was a lot shorter than I thought it would be. I just wanted to know where this couple ended.

Good read

Love Kenya Wright's work. This is definitely an unique and one of a kind adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood. Good read.

To be quite honest, I am waiting for the Lion and the Mouse book 2, so I am looking for something to tide me over. This story, fell short for me.

It was more bogged down with high conversations, Red's friends side shows and implied smut, you know when there is serious build up in the book, then a voice over (how I picture it as I read) says and they fucked the night through; disappointed.

The only consolation, Red reacted like a real live woman to Wolf's manipulation. She did not hem or haw or jump into category TSTL. She questioned him, his intentions and was even ready to leave the apartment.

Misogynistic

Definitely don't recommend this. I hate to leave a negative review but this was infuriating. According to this author, woman with weaves, plastic surgery, fake nails, false lashes, plumped lips and big butts, don't deserve to be treated as Queens because they arent real woman. Check out my goodreads review ( Slowpageturn) for direct quotes of this misogynistic writing

Interesting read

It was short but I liked it, it being short took away from how deep the plot could have got, but still good I liked wolf even though he was a stalker and red was kind of hmmm not annoying but something else I guess just goofy since she was high, she had every right to look at him side ways the whole ordeal was weird but she still was off tooe, anyway good book

Very nice retelling of a classic with a twist!

Never imagined Little Red Riding Hood this way but loved it all the same. Could definitely see bestie Colleen as grandmother too. This time Lil Red didn't get eaten nor needed rescuing. Big Bad Wolf had better intentions and Red was a willing participant. Guess Wolf didn't have to choose after all.

If you enjoy short stories

Very interesting short story. I wish it could have been a bit longer but I enjoyed reading a modern day 420 version of the little red hiding hood. Great story.

I'm in love with Mary Jane!

Dayum Gina, like don't read this book while under the influence lol. Okay it was hot and sexy, then funny and a little scary all at the same time. Kenya always come at you with the most outrageous and unpredictable, but it works and make sense. Or I'm really under the influence and need a intervention lol. (Don't judge)
