Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce / audio book / 4 stars

Sisters Red

Sisters Red (Sisters Red #1)

by Jackson Pearce (Goodreads Author)
 Scarlet 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 ax and Scarlett's only friend--but does loving him mean betraying her sister and all that they've worked for?

My Review;
The was a very good story with a different twist on the old Red Riding Hood Fairytale. I loved that Jackson Pearce did not make the main male character, Silas, so dreamy, so wonderful, so handsome, so "sparkly"! 

I did guess the big twist to the story pretty much as soon as it was mentioned that they needed to look for a potential.

The sisters and Silas were very well drawn characters, not perfect, they had their flaws and their relationship with each other was complicated and not as simple as in some YA books.

Overall I liked this book I listened to the audio tapes and the three narrators were very good.
