Synopsis
A dark and steamy fairytale re-imagining of Little Red Riding Hood. Perfect for romantasy readers and lovers of smut. Is it possible to be drawn to someone you’ve never met? When Ruby feels the eyes of a stranger in the woods, she knows she should be scared, that she should run away, but she can’t. Instead, she feels a thrill, feels drawn to this stranger who follows her in the woods. He yearns for his eyes on her every night as she walks home, hoping to hear the crunch of leaves under his feet that signals he’s there. Will he ever reveal himself? After all, fate doesn’t make mistakes . . .
Review
A Curse of Blood and Wolves was literally unputdownable and I read most of it in one sitting. Between the character building, the magical world, and the tension, I was hooked. It seems obvious there will be more story to come and I can't wait to dive in. I would give this a pretty high spicy rating, but I don't read a ton of smut, so YMMV. I described this to a friend as Little Red Riding Hood, but instead of the wolf eating Grandma, he eats Little Red Riding Hood...if you know what I mean.
I got serious ACOTAR vibes, so if that's your thing, romantasy readers, pick this one up!
Thank you, NetGalley and Melissa McTernan, for the eARC of this book!
