About this title

Synopsis

What if you found out that you were descended from a long line of clandestine fighters, and that your family was still at war? August Archer thinks she's a normal teenage girl--even if she has been having disturbing erotic dreams about wolves lately. Still grieving over the loss of her father, and wondering over his final gift of a red hooded cloak, August is uprooted from her big city apartment to a tiny town in Maryland, where she meets an enigmatic, irresistibly fascinating man who refuses to talk to her, yet who fuels her most intense romantic fantasies. But it's when August begins talking to her feisty Scottish grandmother that a strange tale of werewolves and hunters emerges--one in which the man of her dreams may be her family's oldest enemy--in this modern-day telling of the Red Riding Hood story.

Review

"Red August by H.L. Brooks is not your childhood fairytale come to life, but rather a contemporary version starring an older Red, caught between womanhood and childhood. Filled with wonderfully quirky and kind secondary characters, a feisty grandmother, an ancient feud, death, misunderstandings and a cameo appearance by the Woodsman, H.L. Brooks has taken May-December romances to an entirely new level with her own brand of story telling for the fairytale lover in all of us! I have to say, I didn't see this one coming!"
