Series ✦ Penny’s Take
The Red Rider
Rebecca Fittery · 2021
64/100
👎 Skip It
Fittery's dual-POV Little Red Riding Hood retelling works within clean fantasy-romance conventions without stretching them, and readers already in book two of a twelve-book series will be happy. The problem for anyone else is clear: the series dependency is real, standalone satisfaction is limited, and indie visibility keeps this buried outside its community. Start at book one if the genre appeals.
