By Michelle@Book Briefs 3.5/5Red is a standalone young adult paranormal. I found it very refreshing to see a standalone paranormal. And I thought it ended in a great place and the story actually felt complete to me, so kudos to Alyxandra Harvey for that. It is no easy feat. Red is a re-imagining of Little Red Riding Hood. When I first started reading Red, I was calling it a "re-telling" in my head, but the further and further I journeyed inside the story, the less it felt like a re-telling of the same old tale and much more like a complete re-imagining. Yes there are wolves and a grandmother and all those classic ingredients, but after that just about everything is totally different and fresh. Kia's red "hood" so to speak is actually her ability to start fire. And the wolf if more like a whole menagerie of crazy and mythical creatures. Those woods around the Blackwood's estate felt so much scarier to me than the woods in Little Red Riding Hood.Kia is a spitfire. I found her gift to make fire both curious and terrifying. For one thing, yes she can make fire, but she didn't seem to be immune to it. Every time she would conjure it, she would get blisters. And while she was trying to summon it, she said it felt like her insides were boiling and burning alive. That was so totally different than any other book I had read with someone that had abilities. I wish we learned more about her background and how her abilities came to be, but that aspect of the story was very mysterious. It was the one facet of Red that I wanted more detail on. Every other part was so vivid that every last claw and scale of the creatures came to life before my eyes.I would give anything to take a (very well protected mind you) stroll through the castle's "zoo". I think that would be so unbelievably cool. I haven't mentioned it much yet, but there is also a great romance in Red. I loved the dynamic between Ethan and Kia. I also enjoyed that Kia was drawn to the mystery surrounding the castle and not the persona that Ethan put on as a front. That earned her brownie points in my book. And in Ethan's too I think. The romance was built up nicely and didn't feel rushed. It didn't even come to fruition until well into the second half of the book.Alyxandra Harvey has a real talent for the paranormal genre. The writing and description were spot on, and I loved the creepy world she built. The creatures fascinated me and terrified me in equal parts. I figured out the main twist in this book, but just when I thought things were too easy, I was blindsided by another twist that I didn't even know was a thing until it was staring me in the face. I really enjoyed being surprised like that. Red is a really good read.*Disclaimer- I got a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest review. I was not compensated for my thoughts.

Beautiful & fantastic By Melissa @ The Reader and the Chef Oooh you guys, Red by Alyxandra Harvey is a beautiful, ominously dark, and thrilling read set in a CASTLE. *swoon* I love books set in castles, they are so exciting since they always hold deep secrets and usually house a young and handsome guy worthy of falling in love with, like in this one, yay!At first I thought this book was based on Little Red Riding Hood's fairytale because a) the title Red and b) the girl in the cover with a red dress in the woods kind of hint on that, but as I read the summary and immersed myself into the story, I found out that it was a different storyline altogether. However, this book does read itself like a fairytale. It has magic, mythical and fantastical creatures, the before mentioned ominous setting, and basically almost every other element that defines them as such. Very cool, and creepy at times too!The main character, Kia Alcott, was an interesting person and one whose personality I'm not exactly used of meeting. She's dark and temperamental, a natural troublemaker thanks to her ability to wield fire, but cool enough to not pass off as arrogant or a dis-likable person. She's actually quite nice and smart, though I doubt we'd ever be close friends if we had the chance to meet in person. Still, I liked her company and was rooting for her to come out alive from the dreary situations she got herself into.But as much as I liked Kia, I couldn't help but love Ethan's character more. I was thrilled to be able to read from his point of view because he's the type of character that leads a life with a double personality (or more) just to hide his true self. He comes off as the cocky rich guy, but is a complete sweetheart beneath the facade. He's a brokenhearted boy who's had a hard life as the son of a crazy person who's bent on making sure all the kids of those in the Cabal keep up with the tradition- of slaying monsters or locking them up to study.The overall plot is crazily chaotic, but good, and it has unexpected twists to keep the book entertaining 'til the very end. The author did a great job in combining so many elements and I liked that she wasn't afraid of taking things a step further. The ending of Red, although a bit cheesy, was a nice enough way to wrap things up while leaving room for a sequel which I'm hoping will be written. It has to be. I need to see how things develop between Kia & Ethan plus to learn more about Kia's ability. I'll be crossing fingers.As a final note, all I have left to say is that Red is one awesome read and I think you shouldn't overlook it. You'll probably end up liking it as much as I did once you read it! *wink*

Magic, Monsters, and Romance... a fun new book by Alyxandra Harvey By Shay VanZwoll The last thing that Kia wanted was to set her school on fire... and her best friend with it. Unfortunately, that was exactly what happened. Cursed with a gift of fire, Kia is sent away to her grandmother in the country after her school expels her. Expecting to be bored while essentially living as a servant to the rich, Kia soon realizes that not all is normal with the Blackwoods. While creatures wander the woods, Ethan Blackwood comes home with blood on his hands, and Kia overhears talk of a Cabal. Fighting to control her power, Kia is watched by those who would destroy her... or use her.RED is a mixture of myth, legend, fantasy, and romance; full of excitement and adventure, I found it difficult to put this book down! Kia is a strong character, uncertain of herself but unwilling to give up, she doesn't back down from a challenge or hide behind others in a fight. Ethan, a boy Kia's age who has secrets of his own, lives in the shadow of his father but is desperately trying to be different. The story is told from both Kia and Ethan's points of view, making the story more cohesive and complete, as each character slowly discovers the secrets of the other while hiding their own. This also helps both characters come more fully alive as you are able to see into the mind and heart of each throughout the story.I really enjoyed the story in RED as well as the characters. This is both a coming of age tale and a mystery, wound together into a dark fantasy. None of the characters are exactly as they first appear, even the seemingly snobbish Justine, and you learn their backstories and motivations as the story unfolds. I was even happy with the ending, and the author has left it open just enough for a possible sequel without making the story into a cliffhanger.Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
