Blurb: Scarlett March
lives to hunt the Fenris--the werewolves that took her eye when she was
defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp
hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the
wolves. She's determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and
her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead.
Rosie March once felt her bond with her sister was unbreakable. Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts ferociously alongside her. But even as more girls' bodies pile up in the city and the Fenris seem to be gaining power, Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves. She finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an axe and Scarlett's only friend--but does loving him mean betraying her sister and all that they've worked for?

Review:
I love Jackson Pearce-
honestly I think she is probably one of the coolest people alive and going into
Sisters Red (the first novel of hers that I’ve ever read) I expected to enjoy
it immensely, and I did enjoy it.
That being said, I had some
issues with this book. This book is about werewolves, and I have nothing
against that, however I wasn’t overly keen on Jackson’s take on them. There was
just something that didn’t set right with me. Another issue I had was with the
biggest plot, from a couple of chapters in I already worked the big secret of
the novel and spent most of the novel hoping that I would be wrong.
Character wise, I loved
Scarlett March – the badass wolf hunter, and I found her attitude and ambition
amazing- she is most definitely my favourite character in the novel. I loved
Silas Reynolds- the sweet woodsman, too but Rosie March drove me up the wall at
certain parts in the novel. I won’t go into detail as to avoid spoilers,
however if you’re interested in discussing this book (or any another) feel free
