However, she also shows how this relationship must shift and change as they grow. I loved how Pearce wrote the sisters, and how strong their connection was. Rosie yearns for a life that doesn’t revolve around hunting, and feels a growing attraction towards Silas. For the most part, her scars have become part of her but Pearce also shows how she can be self-conscious about them. Scarlett carries the trauma of the attack in which they lost their grandmother and she was permanently scarred and disfigured. Scarlett and Rosie are strong, but Pearce also shows their struggles.
Pearce’s retelling has a touch of Buffy the Vampire Slayer about it, and her heroines are admirable not only for their strength, but also their wit and their vulnerabilities. “I am confident, I am capable, and I will not wait to be rescued by a woodsman or a hunter.” They can, and do, fight their own battles. Pearce has created a feminist fairytale, her protagonists don’t need any knights in shining armour to save them. The plot is fast paced and clever, with some great twists. One of the best things about it is the strength of the heroines. Jackson Pearce’s Red Riding Hood retelling is an exciting read and a clever twist on the original tale. With an increasing Fenris presence in their town, the two sisters and their woodsman friend Silas must up their game, before more young women lose their lives to these beasts. Hunting has become her life, and by extension her sister Rosie’s, who feels indebted to Scarlett for saving her life. After a Fenris attack in her youth that left her physically and emotionally scarred, Scarlett is determined to hunt down and kill as many of these werewolves as possible.
