Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce

Synopsis:
The story of Scarlett and Rosie March, two highly-skilled sisters who have been hunting Fenris (werewolves) -- who prey on teen girls -- since Scarlett lost her eye years ago while defending Rosie in an attack. Scarlett lives to destroy the Fenris, and she and Rosie lure them in with red cloaks (a colour the wolves can't resist), though Rosie hunts more out of debt to her sister than drive. But things seem to be changing. The wolves are getting stronger and harder to fight, and there has been a rash of news reports about countless teenage girls being brutally murdered in the city. Scarlett and Rosie soon discover the truth: wolves are banding together in search of a Potential Fenris -- a man tainted by the pack but not yet fully changed. Desperate to find the Potential to use him as bait for a massive werewolf extermination, the sisters move to the city with Silas, a young woodsman and long time family friend who is deadly with an axe. Meanwhile, Rosie finds herself drawn to Silas and the bond they share not only drives the sisters apart, but could destroy all they've worked for.

My Review:
A modern twist on an old fairytale! I have to admit I was not sure if I was going to like this one at first. But once the March sisters, Scarlett and Rosie, started to tell their story, I knew I was in for a unique and action-packed adventure. If you think this is a story about two innocent girls that fall prey to a hungry wolf, you’re wrong. It’s the wolf that should be afraid since the March sisters have taken it upon themselves to hunt wolves. Let’s just say I would not want to meet up with one of them in a dark alley with Scarlett welding an axe and Rosie with her knife throwing ability. Thrown in with the action is a love interest in the form of a guy named Silas, the March sisters family friend. He is not only a woodsman but a talented wolf hunter himself and joins Scarlett and Rosie on their most daring hunting adventure yet. This might seem stupid and sexist but for some reason I thought Jackson Pearce was a man and then when I figured out Pearce was a woman it changed the story for me and I liked it better. Believe me, I do not have a problem with male authors and I know it’s weird, but it gave me a different perspective of the book. But overall I enjoyed reading it and definitely woke up early numerous mornings to find out what happens next. I hope to read more stories like this that change the way we think about traditional stories.
