Red Rider's Hood

A LIBRARY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA PICK • In this second installment of the Dark Fusion series comes a twisted retelling of the Red Riding Hood fairytale where a shadowed city brims with danger.

“This page-turner winds briskly into a suspenseful battle beneath the full moon, and ends with multiple twists. Fine fare!”—Kirkus Reviews

Red rides around his tough urban neighborhood in his bloodred Mustang. It satisfies his urge to wander, and it usually keeps him safe from the gangs in town, the Wolves and the Crypts. But when Red’s grandmother is mugged by the Wolves, Red decides to join the Wolves as a pledge so he can learn how to defeat them. Soon he uncovers their terrible secret: They are werewolves with a thirst for human blood. Instead of feeling horrified, Red envies the Wolves’ freedom and power. Even as he trains to kill them—under an unlikely but cunning werewolf hunter—he has come to see them as pack mates. Until he is faced with a choice at the next full moon: Take up the Wolves’ murderous ways, or take them down.
