Description:
Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris--the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She's determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead.
Rosie March once felt her bond with her sister was unbreakable. Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts ferociously alongside her. But even as more girls' bodies pile up in the city and the Fenris seem to be gaining power, Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves. She finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax and Scarlett's only friend--but does loving him mean betraying her sister and all that they've worked for?

 I've heard a ton of good things about this book. In fact that's all I've heard about this book. No bad reviews, no complaints. However, that wasn't the case with me. In fact, I didn't even finish Sisters Red. Now don't get me wrong I did try. I got through half of the book before sitting it down. There was no urge to finish reading, I was simply not interested. But, before we get to far into this review I would like to say I did enjoy Jackson Pierce's 3rd book Sweetly. So, you should definitly check that out.

Let's talk about the characters. Scarlett wasn't the problem with me, I actually enjoyed her very much. Sure there were a few minor issues with her, but I totally understand why she does what she does. Rosie on the other hand...
Well, let's just say she wasn't my favorite character. She was just so girly. It seemed whatever she did she always started thinking about Silas. Silas this, Silas that. She was a very annoying character for me.

Another reason I decided to put the book down was the pace. Sisters Red's pace was very slow. Now, I will read a  slow paced book if I have the urge to pick it up and read. But, that simply did not happen with this book.
From what I read of this book I would have to rate it 3 Stars. (Sisters Red was still somewhat enjoyable.)

Please Note: I didn't enjoy Sisters Red BUT I did enjoy Sweetly. Therefore, I will be reading Pierce's next book: Fathomless.
