Sisters Red

Jackson Pearce clearly has a way with fairy tales, fighting heroines, and werewolves all mashed together. At this point, I'm seriously debating if I want to just read everything she writes.

The description made it same like a serious romantic book, but that's not the case. While there is romance, it's clear the characters are struggling and have a lot of other problems besides suddenly being attracted towards a childhood friend that hunts werewolves with you.

I equally loved Scarlett and Rosie, and I especially loved how they cared for each other and would do anything for the other. I honestly liked pretty much everything, and might reread it at some point in the future (when I have less books to read). 4 stars!

Great retelling of a fairy tale classic! I can't wait to see what Pearce has done with the other fairy tales!

This took me forever to finish, and I think it was because I wasn't really all that interested or invested in any of the characters. The Fenris is an interesting concept, but I wasn't clear on if it's every one of them that has to be a seventh son of a seventh son, or just the Potentials. In which case ... that seems like a lot of people to meet that requirement. I wanted this book to be a lot better than it was.

I really liked the modern-day werewolf-fighting premise, and I liked Rosie and Lett, the titular sisters. I mainly wanted to read this because of Bitch Media putting it on their top feminist YA books list and then taking it away because it's victim-blaming? Which I totally don't think it is. I think the scenes they are talking about are just showing how bitter Scarlett is. The first half of this–setting up the world, developing the relationship between the sisters, was great. I was less excited about the fight scenes, but overall, a strong book. And yes, I think, a book for feminist readers.
