Summary / Synopsis
To grandmother’s house I go, though I want nothing to do with magic or my former life. Especially not after being kicked out of the Fairy Fine Arts Academy.
But when I find a dangerous, heavily scarred wolf shifter in my grandma’s bedroom, the fragile human lifestyle I've built from scratch is suddenly at stake.
Magic, chaos, and my past is charging at me like a raging ogre on pixie sticks.
My grandma is nowhere to be found, and I’m being hunted.
The big bad wolf is the only one I can trust to protect me until my grandmother resurfaces.
Worst yet, I’m in heat. I’ve told the werewolf “no touchy,” but just my luck, he hasn’t been to obedience school. The longer we’re stuck together, the closer he is to killing me himself, or showing me just how really big and bad he is....
My Takes
Tasting red is a red riding hood rewrite where the big bad wolf is the MMC and Red is the FMC. It was a cute book, lots of references to our childhood stories with a twist. It reminded me a lot of the movie Hoodwinked where Grandma is a cookie magnet and Red works for her and there are some adult themes. The villain in that is actually a little white bunny. Same kind of thing here. The real villain isn’t the Big Bad Wolf. But he is no sucker either.
This book works great as a pallet cleanser and something fun to enjoy.
