Product Description
Gina Santiago is a member of an elite tactical team in charge of protecting the world. She’s devoted her life to apprehending the most heinous criminals that prey on society—and now she’s after the worst one yet.
On her own, with no backup, the trail takes her to a dusty, tight-knit town on the fringes of society, where everyone’s a suspect. Even the sexy sheriff, Morgan Hunter, is not telling her everything. Gina knows he’s trouble, but she’s inexorably drawn to him.
The closer Gina comes to finding out the secret of this sleepy little town and its big bad sheriff; the closer she comes to catching the predator, the more scared she gets—because she’s beginning to realize that she has a secret too. A secret that will change Gina’s life… and make her the killer’s prey.
This is loosely based on Little Red Riding Hood and if you know that fairy tale, you know there is a big bad wolf. I found this to be a nicely written romance set in a post apocalyptic future that is surprisingly realistic. I loved Red (Gina) and the sheriff (Morgan) and hated the bad guy who is the the wolf (Kane). A little too descriptive at times and some of the words drove me up the wall --like adding "synth" to describe paper, coffee and food. Overall, a fun page turner.
