Colette Rhodes

Seeing Red

I love this series of fairy tale retellings more than words can accurately express. Colette really did something here, turning one of the most innocent stories into something dark, charmingly funny, and straight up filthy. So kudos for that, honestly, because this was a delight.

This picks up right where Scarlet Disaster left off, with Lou getting Franked into finding out that *gasp* shifters exist! And she’s been sleeping with two of them!! 🤯 Since humans aren’t technically allowed to know that, Lou is put into a bit of a sticky situation with the local packs and Nate, Brooks, and Gabriel have to step up to advocate for her. They also have to do some goddamn groveling because Lou is QUITE over being lied to. 

One thing I loved about this book was getting to see so much of Lou’s friendship with Ria—they had several deep talks that pretty much always resulted in Ria giving Lou some unhinged & unsolicited advice, but it was SO FUN to see them interact and showcase how deep their friendship truly runs. Another thing I loved? Eli building a bear sleigh and pulling Ria and Lou for a ride through the woods LMAOOO.

I knew I liked Gabriel in book 1 (and wanted him to get some Lou action SO BAD) but god damn did he really show up in this one. Gabriel is a true gentlemen in the streets and a dirty talking champion in the sheets. I literally can’t recommend this series enough. Go read it!
