Little Dead Riding Hood

"Unlike the classic Grimm's tale told to children for centuries, our heroine never makes it past the Wolf in Grandma's clothing. In this grim retold tale, Little Dead Riding Hood joins forces with the wolf to trap unsuspecting boys and girls deep in the forest"--Provided by publisher.

In the classic Grimm's tale told to children for centuries, our heroine is wise to the Wolf in grandma's clothing. But did the story really end there?

Valerie's sister was beautiful, kind, and sweet. Now she is dead. Henri, the handsome son of the blacksmith, tries to console Valerie, but her wild heart beats fast for another: the outcast woodcutter, Peter, who offers Valerie another life far from home. After her sister's violent death, Valerie's world begins to spiral out of control. For generations, the werewolf has been kept at bay with a monthly sacrifice. But no one is safe. When an expert wolf hunter arrives, the villagers learn that the creature lives among them - it could be anyone in town. It soon becomes clear that Valerie is the only one who can hear the voice of creature. The Wolf says she must surrender herself before the Blood Moon wanes . . . or everyone she loves will die. This is a dangerous new vision of a classic fairy tale, and for readers who want even more of Valerie's riveting story, a bonus chapter that extends the drama is available at http://www.redridinghoodbook.com/.
