Blood Red

by Vivi Anna

Red, a hard bodied, steel hearted bounty hunter, cares about only one thing—hunting and killing the man that murdered her grandmother in front of her when she was only twelve. Every bounty brings her closer to finding the Wolf's lair. But when he saves her from an assassination attempt, she discovers she may not want him dead after all.

Thrust into a world where no one is as they seem, Red and Wolf must rely on each other to survive. In the process they find hope for a destroyed land and love for each other.

A fairy tale retelling with sex and violence that is creative and suspenseful. It tells a twisted up version of Little Red Riding Hood, Brothers Grimm, and has a lot of other well known fairy tale characters as well. The story is very creative, but lacked emotion until the last couple of pages. I was intrigued, but it wasn't a story I had to sit and read in one sitting.

If you like a fairy tale retelling I would definitely recommend reading this one. If you are looking for a really good quality story, not so much.

An adult fairy tale with graphic sex and violence, it tells a twisted version of Little Red Riding Hood, here called Blood Red for the violent revenge she seeks against the Wolf who killed her Granny. Many well-known fairy tale characters are featured in this twisted lusty tale, including Hansel and Gretel, the Three Pigs, and of course the Brothers Grimm.

A very fun, adult take on fairy tales with a supporting cast drawn from many old favorites, all tweaked just a bit so that you never quite knew what you were going to get. I liked it. It was sexy and dark and a quick enough read that I zipped through it.

Funny novel for those who expect a light book. Great sex twist given to fairy tale characters, however use of language could be better (avoid some repetitions) and the sex scenes could have a longer time space, instead of popping every 4 pages.

I was looking forward to this, the idea amazing. The actual story? not so much

A very good read. Lots of action and the story line was compelling enough to hold my attention to the end.

Well worth the read.

Awesome portrayal of the Grimm fairy tail. Deeply sadistic but awesome. Didn't want it to end. Many interesting plot twists.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review

This is a book about a different take on those fairy tale characters that you grew up with. For instance, Little Red Riding Hood is a hard drinking, foul talking mercenary who doesn't take backtalk from too many people. Some parts were humorous while other parts were saturated with intrigue and a sort of subdued action. There was also a love interest and a destined quest involved also
