The Girl in Red by Christina Henry
3.0

Not my favorite. Despite this being a retelling of sorts, this had very, very little to do with the original fairytale which makes the cover a bit misleading? Honestly my wrongdoings for assuming based off cover and not taking the genre tags entirely serious. I figured a wolf would be a predominant character, and that possibly, we'd have some magical elements thrown in somewhere. But nope. This was just The Walking Dead Game but not as great, really. 

Red was insufferable and I didn't like her about halfway through reading. I found the "Before" timeline way more interesting than the "After", and I think starting with the After through me out of the immersion a bit because I knew her brother wasn't around. No spoilers. Just Meh.
