If you are looking for a new twist on the classic fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood, you might want to check out the novel by Julie Mannino. Little Red Riding Hood is the first book in the Alternate Earth Tales series, which reimagines famous stories with a modern and erotic spin.
The novel follows Blake, a young man with low vision who lives a safe and predictable life. He likes routines and hates changes, until he visits his grandmother’s house and discovers a whole new world of werewolves, fairies, and gods. There, he meets his mate, a werewolf named Rafe, who is nothing like the gentle and caring man he expected. Rafe is wild, dominant, and possessive, and he wants to claim Blake as his own.
But Blake is not ready to give up his independence and his old life. He is scared of the dangers and mysteries of the supernatural world, and he does not want to bond with a werewolf. He resists Rafe’s advances and tries to escape, but he soon realizes that he cannot run away from his destiny. He has to face his fears and embrace the changes, or he will lose his chance at true love and possibly his life.
Little Red Riding Hood is a steamy and suspenseful novel that explores themes of identity, sexuality, and consent. It is a dark and heavy-hitting story that does not shy away from depicting violence and trauma, but it also offers hope and healing. It is a well-written and intriguing take on the folklore tale, with a diverse and complex cast of characters. It is intended for mature readers who enjoy M/M monster romance and fairy tales with a twist.
