About this eBook

The story of Scarlett and Rosie March, two highly-skilled sisters who have been hunting Fenris (werewolves) - who prey on teen girls - since Scarlett lost her eye years ago while defending Rosie in an attack. Scarlett lives to destroy the Fenris, and she and Rosie lure them in with red cloaks (a colour the wolves can't resist), though Rosie hunts more out of debt to her sister than drive. But things seem to be changing. The wolves are getting stronger and harder to fight, and there has been a rash of news reports about countless teenage girls being brutally murdered in the city. Scarlett and Rosie soon discover the truth: wolves are banding together in search of a Potential Fenris - a man tainted by the pack but not yet fully changed. Desperate to find the Potential to use him as bait for a massive werewolf extermination, the sisters move to the city with Silas, a young woodsman and long time family friend who is deadly with an axe. Meanwhile, Rosie finds herself drawn to Silas and the bond they share not only drives the sisters apart, but could destroy all they've worked for.

From the start, this book grabbed my attention. I loved the action fighting parts. Scarlett really knows how to kick some real serious Fenris butt. The descriptions of the Fenris is realistic and I like how they’re portrayed as vicious feral creatures who can’t seem to control themselves (which is the way how it should be!). The plot itself was really good and it certain did keep the pages turning. The characters were good although I’d have to say Scarlett is my favorite. I liked her toughness. It’s such a complete contrast to Rosie - and I have to admit I really didn’t like Rosie (still don’t) sure, Scarlett really did her best to protect her and that’s probably why Rosie’s got this air of vulnerability around her. (Although she can pull her own weight in a fight as well). However, there’s just something about her I don’t quite like. Maybe it’s because she’s just so sweet it gives you cavities reading about her. She gets a little better later in the book, but not enough to make me change my opinion. Another thing about her is her lovey dovey relationship makes you want to cringe. It’s too sweet for my taste. I also thought this was a great twist to the Red Riding Hood fairy tale. It certainly adds a more darker twist to it and like mentioned previously, the description of the Fenris and their society is really well done, and I hope there’s more to it than just this book because it feels like this isn’t going to be last we’ve heard from these sisters. I most definitely recommend this. YA Readers will enjoy this, those with a like for urban fantasy or a twist on Fairy Tales will also appreciate this. It’s a great read and you’ll be done in no time.

This is the best book I have ever read and I wish it had never ended I felt as if I was a character in the book. I was so sad when it ended. This is the first book I have ever managed to read in two days. Love this book and recommend this book to everyone. Just wow. One day I wish I could write a book as good as this but I know I could never neat the skill of this book. I have a question for the author: what made you write this book

About the author

Jackson Pearce is twenty-five years old and currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, with a slightly cross-eyed cat and a lot of second-hand furniture. She recently graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in English and a minor in Philosophy. She auditioned for the circus once, but didn't make it; other jobs she's had include obituaries writer, biker bar waitress, and receptionist.

Jackson began writing when she got angry that the school librarian couldn't tell her of a book that contained a smart girl, horses, baby animals, and magic. Her solution was to write the book herself when she was twelve. Her parents thought it was cute at first, but have grown steadily more concerned for her ever since.

Sisters Red is Jackson's debut novel in the UK. Her first novel, As You Wish, has recieved rave reviews in the US.
