Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce

After Scarlett and Rosie were attacked by a Fenri (werewolf) and had their grandmother killed by the same one, they have made it their life mission to kill Fenri along with their family friend, Silas.  Scarlett, Rosie, and Silas move to the city where the Fenri population is higher in hopes of killing more than they do in the country, but they begin to each put life into perspective and reach the ultimate question.  Is hunting Fenri really all they want their life to be?

Another twist on a fairy tale.  I just love them!  Definitely not what you think of when you think of Red Riding Hood.  The modern time put the story in a different perspective and I enjoyed how there was not just one main character, but two sisters instead.  Jackson has done it again!  Absolutely perfect.  Just like Sweetly, I love this cover.  I have heard through other blogs that they came out with a new set of covers for these books; much plainer and with less color.  I definitely like these ones better.  There's always two things going on, you just have to look for them.  Sorry the pictures a little blurry.

The Twin's Daughter by Lauren Baratz-Logsted

Lucy Sexton is suprised one morning when a visitor who looks exactly like her mother arrives on her front steps.  Lucy finds out that the women is in fact her aunt, Helen, her mother's twin sister.  Aunt Helen moves in with Lucy and her family, but things start to spiral out of control and people Lucy thought she knew may not be what they seemed.

I love this book.  The cover caught my eye.  It looks different, and I couldn't figure out what the plot of the story would be.  The end had a crazy twist I wasn't expecting.  This was a book full of confusion and deceit, but underneath it all was also a love story.  Absolutely amazing.  I haven't read a book like this in a long time.  Awesome job Lauren!
