Good start to a book

I liked that the book starts right out with the fenris or werewolf attacking the girls and the grandmother. It made me want to read more to see what happens.

Finished the book.

I finished the book last night and I enjoyed it a lot. I never read anything like it. Changing perspectives and the use of imagery was confusing at one point, but it made the book special. It was suspenseful finding out if Silias was the potential or not. I definitely felt the sense of Little Red Riding Hood in this book.
After finishing Sisters Red, I definitely can say that this is one of my favorite books.  My favorite aspect of this book was probably how the author switched perspectives between the two sisters Scarlett and Rosie, although it was a bit confusing at times. Throughout the book I eventually did start to get a feeling that Silas was the potential but i was not positive until the very end.  Over all this was a very good book that i genuinely enjoyed reading.

I just finished reading Sisters Red and it was a good twist on the common fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood. I enjoyed how the author switched views from Scarlett to Rosie. I wish the author shed some insight into Silas's mind. It would have been interesting to see things from his point of view. Other than that the book was overall very good. Is it just me or did anyone else kinda suspect that Silas was the Potential? When they discovered he was I wasn't that surprised.

I felt this book was really good because it was a teenage telling of a very well known fairytale. The book was about two girls named Rosie who was ten and Scarlett who was 12 when they had their first encounter with a Fenris. They were attacked and their grandmother died protecting them from getting hurt. Then we go six years in the future and Rosie is 16 and Scarlett is 18. They come from a place named Ellison and they have a friend named Silas. Rosie and Silas end up together and Rosie is alone fighting Fenris like she feels like she should be all her life. They head out to Atlanta, Georgia to find the Potential and it turns out that their friend Silas is the Potential. They finally realized that is why they got attacked because the Fenris could not find Silas.

I finished the book and overall i thought the book was a very well constructe book a little of everything so it could be a book for everyone. It had romance, adventure, vilence, and family love. The book was very interesting in that the book could do one thing and than you would something and it something else would happen in some situations.

So far, so good.

I am a few chapters into the book now and it seems really good. I was hooked from the first chapter. I like the amount of imagery used and the point of view is interesting. It was easy to tell what the book was about as soon as I read the first page. This feels like a book I would read on my own.
