 Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

After being accepted to college, grace moves into her grandmothers house nearby. On her first day Grace meets Daniel, and quickly strikes up a friendship. She also attracts the attention of the mysterious Ben. From this day her life takes a strange turn. 

Grace soon finds herself at the centre of of a love triangle. Meanwhile she is forced to re-evaluate her beliefs as she discovers that both werewolves and witches are real. 

What I liked about this book

• Gemma used the first chapter to give background information to the story, and continued to reference it throughout the book.
• The writing flows well. The story moves at a steady pace which was easy to follow
• I liked that the story takes place in a modern setting rather than the historical setting of the original Red Riding Hood.
• This is a short, quick read.

What I didn't like

• There were a few spelling mistakes which I found distracted me from the story 
• There are some scenes which I was not expecting to find in this book based on the description.  Some readers may find these scenes upsetting.

This is an interesting retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. I think that fans of the twilight saga would enjoy this book.
