Red

How to properly describe this book...Hmm. Well, the Grimm brother's would have approved, I do believe. This is a series about fairy tale (and other fantasy characters) who accidentally stumble into reality and some of their lives in what they call The Here and Now. Though there are many magical elements, the fantasy isn't so heavy as one would expect, at least not in this first book. Red, as one might guess, is Little Red Riding Hood's story. Tess Little is Red but is very much not the little girl from the story. Likewise, most of the other characters you meet aren't so easily recognizable, including the big bad wolf from her story. Red is an Enforcer for the Tale folk's version of the police and is well known for being both brash and brutal. Her partner in this tale, is Nate Grimm, an actual Reaper. Talk about a killer tag team. The story is about a series of grizzly murders and the path that Red and Nate follow to find the culprit behind the heinous crimes. Along the way there is much action, a LOT of drama (especially from ex-lovers), a bit of steam, some soul searching, and a long overdue romance. The book was not what I expected, for sure, but it was well done and I will be picking up the next one in the series for sure. It gets 4.5 out 5 stars from me only because it was written in first person (though admittedly well done) and there was only one perspective for the entire book. I would have greatly enjoyed seeing some other character's takes, most especially Nate's. If you like remade fairy tales, murder investigations, relationship drama, and romance, this is the book for you. Give it a go!

If you like the t.v series Once Upon a Time then you will surely like this cause i love my show so I know reading this will get me hooked from beginning to end.

Like Roger Rabbit. The concept is not tooo original.
