Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

You’re a fairytale retelling. You’re not meant to be dull.

This is a retelling of 'Little Red Riding Hood', with a love story.

In an effort to break up my reading of ‘Parade’s End’, I picked this book up. Light, I thought. Fluffy, I thought. With a few bad-ass werewolf-killing main characters. Awesome, I thought. HOW COULD I BE SO WRONG?

Why I did not like this book.

Number 1) The plot, summed up in a paragraph on the blurb, is painful. Painfully dragged out, painfully guessable. And very, very irritating. I knew what was going on by chapter 1. CHAPTER 1. This is not meant to happen. I shouldn’t know the entire plot by chapter 1!

Number 2) Really, really boring characters. ‘Nuff said.

Number 3) I felt the world struggled to ‘gel’ with the fantasy world and the modern day world. It felt unrealistic and unnatural.

Number 4) The romance felt forced and clichéd.

I’m finished. I think I have.
