Hansel,
Gretel, and the Brothers Grimm, witches and other unsavory characters,

and Wolf become allies. He vows to keep
her safe and out of harm’s way. She vows
that she will never forgive him for her grandmother’s death. Neither of
them
plans on making vows of love. Will these
two star crossed lovers be able to find love and happiness against all
odds and
in spite of themselves? Will they
triumph in their fight for good amongst all the evil?
BLOOD RED
is a twist on the classic fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. This one packs many characters from other
tales into it and even gives them evil purposes. There is a sexual
energy that
emanates from it and there are some interesting, not to mention hot,
sex
scenes. Wolf is a character that is sexy
and darkly sensual in his intensity. Red is feisty, bold and brazen. She is a character that speaks her mind and
knows what she wants and shows no remorse for it. It is interesting to
see how
the characters from classic children’s fairy tales have been
transformed into
villains, temptresses, seducers and the seduced. Amusing,
sexy and scintillating, BLOOD RED
makes for an interesting and very different read.
