Modern Red Riding Hood

Then a beautiful girl in a red hat needs nursing help for her grandmother during the day and Hunter gets the job. Can this lead to a way forward to getting a little better life. Sweet romance.

Red Cap

I enjoyed the story itself, but the narration wasn't the greatest. Scared straight is what finally worked for Piper.

It was alright..

But it kinda lacked substance. Like a rock without pebbles. It had a plot and wasn't boring, but there was no feeling of dread or worry at all. It was just too clean cut. Like a check list.

I personally am not a fan of the narrator, but that's because of other books. So it took away from the enjoyment a bit.

I couldn't handle how much Piper uses Hunter

Honestly had high hopes for this book and was super excited! But I had to stop at the end of chapter 8 bc I couldn't stand how much Piper would just use and expect Hunter to do all the heavy work.
This next part is a bit of a spoiler... As the description of the book says Hunter starts a new job and on the second day the sister call saying how youngest child had fever and had to come home from school and she can't miss work so she wants to drop him off at her work place... Which alone is redioules for a new job but I understand the kids sick and the client is alright with it... but the INSTEAD of going to work like she said she would and why she jeopardized her sisters job for, she instead CALLS OFF and goes visits her horrible husband in jail!! WTF! Why did you even have your sister watch the child for!! I was so pissed, then on top of it she told the scheming husband how Hunter works for a rich family now, which obviously interests him much... yep at that point I dropped it🤦‍♀️ had so much anger it wasn't worth it. I wanted a enjoyable read not one I want to off characters in the first 8 chapters.

Narrator was pretty good, I liked how she did different voices for changes and when with the flow of story, like whispering when needed.

Don't walk...run

Even if by some miracle you can make it past the horrid narration, the plot is far too simplistic. All of the characters feel very two dimensional to say the least. I will avoid any books by this author and narrator in the future.
