· Jackson Pearce has created this world that isn't so much different from ours - it's just an addition on ours, and that addition is werewolves that prey on unsuspecting girls. SISTERS RED is full of lust and desire, whether it's got to do with wanting another person or prey, or just something more out of life than fear or revenge.5/5(5). Scarlet March lives to hunt the Fenris--the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She's determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead. Sisters Red is the best kind of fairytale retelling, in that Jackson Pearce takes the kernel of a fairytale (“Little Red Riding Hood” here, obvs) and then just runs with it. There’s no need to hew too closely to the “original” story—because what is the original story, anyway?/5(K).
Praise for SISTERS RED: "Pearce is on the mark with this modern-day retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Told by the sisters in alternating chapters, this well-written, high-action adventure grabs readers and never lets go.". ― Jackson Pearce, Sisters Red. 3 likes. Like "You need some help, Rosie?" His footsteps quicken behind me, and before I can respond, I feel his calloused hands on my waist. I accidently slide back against his chest and inhale the scent that has always clung to his whole family—something like forests, damp leaves, and sunshine. I suppose. This is not the tale of Little Red Riding Hood your granny told. In this version, the sisters, Scarlett and Rose (shades of red, anyone?), were attacked by a werewolf-like Fenris and saved by Scarlett's quick action with a broken mirror. The attack left Scarlett with one eye, bite and claw scars and an obsessive drive to rid the world of the Fenris clans.

And if you like fairy tales, you are going to want to check this one out! Scarlett saw her grandmother devoured by a Fenris (werewolf doesn't even come close to describing the terror they bring).
