Synopsis

Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris--the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She's determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead.

Rosie March once felt her bond with her sister was unbreakable. Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts ferociously alongside her. But even as more girls' bodies pile up in the city and the Fenris seem to be gaining power, Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves. She finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax and Scarlett's only friend--but does loving him mean betraying her sister and all that they've worked for?

From AudioFile:

In Scarlett and Rosie March's world, Fenris (werewolves in the guise of devilishly handsome men) seduce and devour innocent young girls. Scarlett and Rosie are hunters. Scarlett wears a red cloak that conceals her hatchets; Rosie's expertise is knives. Suzanne Toren's lush, husky tones set the mood as she tells a grim fairy tale about two sisters and their grandmother, who were attacked by a wolf-in-salesman's-clothing. As the narrative alternates between the sisters, the two additional actresses give stellar performances. Erin Moon portrays Scarlett with the snarky, feisty attitude of a girl who's been disfigured by a Fenris and is passionate about killing them. Michal Friedman's Rosie is innocent, eager for her first hunt, curious about the world, and ready for love. Terrific YA listening. S.J.H.
