“Never go into the woods.” Abuella said….But that’s exactly where I had to run. And I’m not looking back.
Carmine: I’ve fallen head-over-heels into a world of enchantment—where wolves shift into men, fairies fly through the air, and I might be a lost fae princess with magical powers. Even Alice didn’t have it this crazy.
To top it all off, my only hope to get back home is a too-sexy man who isn’t a man at all. He’s a wolf. And he’s bitter as hell.
Culann: This has been the day from hell. The pack that threw me out needs me to rescue them, but I’m busy rescuing a woman who shouldn’t even be here in the land of the fae—a woman who’s never seen magic. Or has she?
I don’t have time to teach her to survive. But I can’t abandon her. Especially not when I find out she might be the one—my fated mate.

I found it a little hard to get into but I read it all the way through. It seemed at times the leading lady was more than clueless, and the leading man was all it can never be. I enjoyed when she finally started using her magic or her magic used her as the case may be. I can tell you I have never read a book quite like it but once it got going it was worth the read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Love these twisted tales. This one takes a little of several tales and puts them together into and adventurous and dangerous romantic journey. I love the character of Carmine. She has an innocence and at the same time a strong energy to her. And then there is Culann. That may needs love and smacked in the head all at once. Bring them together and the adventure is just beginning. Good Fae, bad Fae, witches and wolves. I can’t get enough of it.
Carmine was told not to go into the woods but when she did she ended up in a world of shifters, fairies and magic. Calaan is a wolf shifter who was betrayed by his pack. He saves Carmine and finds out she's his fated mate. He ends up helping her fight against the evil queen. I really enjoyed this book.
When Carmine is chased into the forest by some men who want to do her harm . She falls into a world of magic and into the arms of a rogue shifter . Who she has met before but how . Culann is a shunned wolf and really honestly doesn't want the added responsibility of a woman who doesn't even know she is special . As you know in every good fairy taile romance will blossom and the evil queen will die . I seriously think that Culann and Carmine are my favourite characters . Culann is well he is brooding and roguishly good looking but has been beaten down by the past . Until the day his mate and you see him starts to realize the power that he has inside of him and he isn't the bad person they called him. Carmine oh what can we say about poor Carmine . She has been living a double life and she didn't know . She is sweet and kind but also has been through so much . When she finds her true calling and what she truly is you see her blossom and grow into a very powerful woman in charge of her destiny. This author does a great job retelling fairy tales and putting her own twist on them . This is book eight in her fae magic series and I love how she mixes the fae and shifter element into the retelling of Red Riding hood . The characters are well written and you will cheer for them and cry for them . The story is just a tad slow at the beginning but it really picks up once Carmine and Culann are together . This book has it all mystery. intrigue , romance and fated mates . I truly enjoyed this book and the whole series . Its one of those type of books that you can get yourself lost in for an hour or two . So if you want to have a good read for this quarantine check it out .
