Publisher's summary

My, what big...teeth you have.

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....

In this spicy, action-packed fairytale retelling, Red Riding Hood is more spicy than sweet, and the Big Bad wants a taste....

Really good

This was my first book by this author but I enjoy a good retelling and this didn’t disappoint. Definitely a fun twist. I look forward to the next books.

Loved the retelling

It starts out hot and heavy…I was anticipating a hot and heavy ending but it went more down a sweet/romance style ending which made sense but didn’t feel the same. I didn’t love it but it did make sense for the story arc.

Yes.

So good, loved it. I enjoyed that it wasn’t just steamy, it also had a good plot. It was definitely an added bonus that it has two great voices as narrators.

The narrators were good

This book was okay. Not out of this world but okay. I would spend a credit. I’m more of a queens of the vampire court type of reader. But this was mediocre compared to my likes.

What Spicy Taste You Have…

The better too drive your thirst my dear…

If you love fairytale retellings and spice, then get this audiobook. Not only are the performances from the narrators top notch but Holly herself created a world you can get lost in. It gives me Hoodwink vibes but with a more in depth story by bringing in other fairytale characters you’ll love. And the spice is… Hot! Hot! Hot! Now just waiting for our girl Goldie to be in audiobook format too. 😘

Interesting Story

My main issue is the male voice. He sounds like one of those cringey guys that does that weird unnecessary laugh. I guess if YKYK. His female voice was also terrible, sounded like she was moaning with a fake orgasm with every word. The voice made it hard to get into the story, female voice actor was not bad, every now and then a -boston? accent would bleed through otherwise her performance was great.

Freaking Fantastic

This is just the book for you if you are into monster smut and fairytale retellings. This book is such a good time and the narration is fantastic. It may just have took me 2days to read it because I could not stop rewinding it I enjoyed it so much.
