Cover Reveal: Red's Hood by Esmeralda F.

We're thrilled to present the cover of Red's Hood, an upcoming paranormal romance by Esmeralda F.!

Red's Hood
by Esmeralda F.
Expected Release Date: March 24, 2026
Genre: PNR/ Red Riding Hood Inspired

  • Forced proximity
  • One bed
  • Small town
  • Werewolves
  • Who did this to you?

What if instead of heeding the warnings, Red Riding Hood learned to run with the wolves?

RED'S HOOD is a modern-day paranormal romance inspired by Red Riding Hood. With its sizzling chemistry, playful banter, and gut-wrenching plot, you won't want to miss it.

Hoping to provide a better life for her family, Roan Brown took a loan from the wrong crew. When they come to collect and she’s short, the thing she cares about most is taken as collateral. Desperate and willing to do whatever it takes to get it back, she turns to Obol Reed—the town’s newest resident.

Little does she know, he has an agenda of his own.

Obol Reed is traveling the country, on a mission to cut loose ends from his past. It’s no coincidence his journey includes only small-towns with one thing in common—werewolves. During his latest stop, rather than unearth the answers he seeks, he finds a new mystery in Roan Brown—beautiful, sassy, and in over her head.

To save Roan from herself, Obol will make a choice that’ll change their lives forever.

In a town where secrets have claws and ignorance is deadly, can a cynic who believes magic is "ridiculous" and an outcast with a dark secret—or two—trust each other enough to survive? As stakes rise, revelations will threaten to shatter everything they know about themselves.

Hunt the Wood: An MM Red Riding Hood Retelling (Beautiful Nightmares #1)
by Anna Fury, Amy Pennza
April 25th, 2023
Genre: MM Dark Fantasy Romance/ Fairy Tale Retelling
I’m not a powerful witch, just a fortune teller making ends meet. But when my grandmother, the leader of the Rathmore Coven, summons me, I have no choice but to answer her call. To reach her, I must cross the Wood, the realm of Wotan, lord of the hunt. Rumors of his cruelty and brutality precede him, but nothing prepares me to meet the monster face to face.

Because Wotan is more than a monster. He’s a predator, a bully, and now he’s claimed me as his pawn in his war against my grandmother. A master of torture, he’s determined to master me, stripping me bare of all my secrets.

Yet as much as I fear him, I’m drawn to him. His rough edges conceal a softer side—and I find myself wondering if I can be the one to finally tame him. With my life hanging in the balance, I’ve got to fight to uncover the truth about Wotan, my grandmother…and maybe my own destiny.

Book Review: Forbidden: A Red Riding Hood Retelling by Adrienne Woods + giveaway

Forbidden: A Red Riding Hood Retelling
by Adrienne Woods
January 7, 2019
254 pages
Genre: Paranormal Fantasy Romance
This is not The Little Red Riding Hood we grew up with.

Supernatural races—vampires, werewolves, witches, you name it—all exist.

Eighteen-year-old Rue Chaperon and her family belong to an elite hunting society, the S.H.A—Supernatural Hunting Association—and what the Chaperons hunt best are werewolves.

When a new hunting group convinces the Chaperons to team up with them and try a different approach to hunting the supernatural by taking out the Alpha, it sounded like a great idea.

Taking out the Alpha meant they'd eradicate the entire race.
Piece of cake, right?

But nothing is ever easy when you're a hunter.

A Little Red Riding Hood retelling with a spin that will make you believe not all fairytales were meant for children.


I love fairy tale stories with a new dark twist, after reading the snip-it about this one I figured why not. The cover is also really catching and after a tad more research on the author, this looks like one of her jams when it comes to eye-catching. I approve! 

The story has great flow, it moves along at a pace that never gets dull. Certainly more action than the original Little Red Riding Hood tale, but it could have even gone to a darker, sexier place. IMO anyway. Forbidden appears to be a prequel to a different saga in the series, which was fine but at times a tad bit confusing. 

Again, I would have liked a bit more action and a larger portion of the romance between our leading couple. While I will say there was nothing earth-shattering about this story, I enjoyed it overall for what it was.

Excerpt:The Red Lily (Vampire Blood) by Juliette Cross + giveaway

The Red Lily (Vampire Blood)
by Juliette Cross
6/19/17
Genre: Paranormal Romance
When Red falls for the Big Bad Wolf…

The Black Lily resistance needs a larger army if they are to defeat the vampire monarchy. In order to do so, former lieutenant and traitor to the vampire Crown, Nikolai must seek help from the red-hooded temptress he needs to avoid at all costs. The secret he carries could prove dangerous for her if she gets too close…even though keeping her close—very close—is the only thing on his mind.

Sienna will do anything for the Black Lily, and when Nikolai asks for her assistance to gain the trust of the commonwealth, it’s the last thing she wants to do. The thought of leaving her woods and her wolves behind is terrifying…not to mention the danger being with Nikolai poses.





Excerpt
For a moment, she could do nothing but stare at the vaulted ceiling, sucking in deep breaths.

She didn’t know. Stars above, she didn’t know it could feel like this. The attentions she’d given herself had never felt that good. In her dreams, it had never felt that good. But then, it wasn’t him in the flesh. Not like now.

Nikolai removed his fingers, then placed a gentler openmouthed kiss on her sex, licking slowly with the flat of his tongue. Sienna whimpered and scooted up the bed, far too sensitive there now.

He gazed up and grinned, licking his bottom lip before he sucked the two fingers he’d had inside of her with a long slide from his mouth. “I could taste you forever.”

“My heart would give out in a day,” she panted, incredulous he would do and say something so naughty. “Perhaps in an hour.”

He chuckled and launched himself up and over her. “I like seeing that flush in your cheeks.” He nipped her lips. “And hearing that smile in your voice.”

She wondered how he could see anything, but then again, he was vampire. “Well, I like breathing.” She panted heavily still. “So give me a moment to catch my breath.”

He settled beside her, pulled the covers over them, and wrapped a strong arm around her waist, pulling her over till her head rested on his chest. “Take all the time you need.”

His voice was light and airy, unlike his usual brooding self.

She tilted her head toward him. “You’re happy with yourself, aren’t you?”

“Quite.”

“I’ve never experienced something like that before.”
She had no experience with men, but she thought she knew enough from watching farm animals. Apparently not.

“I am certainly glad to hear that,” he said only slightly more serious. “If another man tried to do that to you, I’d have to rip out his tongue.”

“You’re very territorial.”

“Very. Glad you’ve noted.”

Strange how that act of intimacy had washed away the angst and tension from before. Then she realized that was exactly what he was trying to do. He’d wanted her pleasure alone, he’d said. He’d certainly gotten it.

“Is it always like that?” she asked, almost too shy, but enjoying the intimacy that had grown between them in the dark.

“No.” He flatted his palm, fingers spread, over her abdomen under the covers. “It will be better next time.”

“Better?”

He laughed and lowered his head, sweeping his lips across hers. Not a kiss, but a reminder that they’d knocked down a wall between them and there was no rebuilding it.

Then he whispered, “Wait till you see what it feels like when I’m buried deep inside you.”
