Crimson Claws by Abigail Manning
4.5
adventurous emotional funny mysterious
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Yes

This is the first book in the Ruby Realm series and another wonderful fairy tale retelling by Abigail Manning. I thought this was an enjoyable Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with excellent world building, fun characters, and an engaging plot with twists and adventure. I loved getting to know both Roisen & Zac seeing how their relationship developed as well as enjoying their banter with one another. There is a bit more violence in this story than in some of the other fairy tale retellings I have read by this author but not too much and it is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood so that isn't overly surprising. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future.
