Release Blitz for Red Kingdom (Fairy Tales Retelling #2) by Rachel Demeter w/ Review

***5 Stars***

Little Red Riding Hood isn’t one of the fairytales I tend to gravitate to, but after reading this book, I’m more than happy to change that. While it did take me a bit to get into the story once I did, I was all in with the characters, the world and following along as Rowan and Blanchette navigate through their new circumstances.

I loved Rowan and Blanchette. Both have a strong sense of honor and duty and despite everything they do or do not do, care deeply for those that look to them for guidance and care. What I really liked was how the author showed us who these two were by their actions and thoughts, which made for the times when things were not so good understandable because I could see how similar they were at their very core. Their journey to their HEA is a rough one, but they both had a lot to work through…a lot…but once they truly see who the other is, all bets are off. Now it does take awhile for them to act on their mutual attraction, but once they do, it felt absolutely right (and HAWT).

I’m not much of a historical romance/fiction reader anymore, but there are a handful of authors that will have me willingly head back in time and this is one of those authors. The world building, the characters, the brutal honesty of the life and times, made for a great journey and one I would have no problem going on again. As for the twists and turns. There were some doozies in there, but they definitely kept me turning the pages, so if you’re looking to get lost for a few hours, I highly recommend getting lost in the Red Kingdom.

Little Red Riding Hood reimagined with a dark and realistic twist.

Princess Blanchette’s world shatters when the Black Wolf tears apart her castle and everything she holds dear. All she clings to is the vow she made to her grandmother on her deathbed.

Hailed as the people’s champion, Sir Rowan Dietrich liberates the capital in a quest for vengeance. He takes Winslowe Castle with an army at his back and his wolf, Smoke, at his side.

United by a shared cause and powerful attraction, Rowan and Blanchette embark on a journey of self-discovery and redemption—a path filled with loss, transformation, and ultimately, the healing power of love.

Can Norland’s resplendent princess, with her captivating beauty and spirit, tame the fabled Black Wolf?

Inspired by the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, Red Kingdom is a passionate, slow-burn historical romance about the enduring quest for love and the longing for a world at harmony.
