A Curse of Blood and Wolves by Melissa McTernan

3.75

Paranormal romance is a great setting for fairy tale retellings, particularly when it comes to something like Little Red Riding Hood.

Ruby has had some weird things go on in her life, and now she's convinced someone is stalking her as she walks through the woods at night. That stalker is Rafe, a wolf shifter who split from his pack a few years before. Both end up in danger from other nearby wolves and have to work together to find out what's going on. All while deciding what to do about the fierce attraction they share.

I really enjoyed the glimpses into Ruby's day-to-day life, particularly as Rafe tried to worm his way into it. It was kind of funny seeing her learn how many supernatural people were in her life, even if it did start to feel overdone by the end.

 As the blurb says, there are definitely some scenes in here that were written for smuttok, so if that's your thing then maybe give it a go. 

I wasn't really interested in what was going on in the wider world - possibly because the world-building felt a little forced. So while I had an enjoyable enough time reading this, I'm unlikely to continue with the series.
