Overall I strongly disliked the outcome of this novel, "Sisters Red" by Jackson Pearce. Although initially I was intrigued by the plot line of this story, it unfortunately did not meet my expectations. The book began with promising and interesting characters such as Scarlett, who's tough and determined. She fears the wolves but is simply infatuated with the hunt. Or Grandma's immense bravery during the opening scene where she holds back the wolves in order to save the children. These characters seem so exciting and unique, however, as the book slowly progresses the characters become exhausted. Everything becomes so repetitive and these fresh, interesting characters transform into dull, predictable people that are quite honestly boring. Another aspect of the novel I disliked was the cliche romance. As if the predictable characters weren't enough, the romance was so overused in nearly every adult fiction. Of course the main character falls in love with the boy next door. It was horribly unoriginal in my opinion and simply made the book drag on.
