Little red a lesbian fairy tale

4 Stars for Seeing Red (audiobook) by Cara Malone read by Emily Beresford.

I enjoyed this modern take on a classic fairytale. I really like Cara Malone’s characters and situations.

Little red a lesbian fairy tale

I found out about this sapphic fairy tale retelling through a review that Temecka did on her channel! I've been wanting a little more sapphic romances in my life and I know that she reads a lot of them. I listened to this via audio on Hoopla and found that it was a fairly quick read.

I've been wanting a little more sapphic romances in my life and I know that she reads a lot of them. I listened to this via audio on Hoopla and found that it was a fairly quick read. It focuses on two characters, Hunter and Keira. Hunter is assisting her sister Piper in taking care of household expenses and her two sons while Keira becomes caretaker to her grandmother after a situation happens on campus with fellow sorority members. The romance with Hunter and Keira was pretty instantaneous; however, I think that they definitely had great chemistry. While their romance isn't necessarily forbidden, there is an interesting dynamic with Keira's mom being Hunter's employer since she begins working to help take care of the grandmother. One element of the book that I didn't enjoy was the way in which social class was addressed. There seemed to be some slight catering to the wealthy that didn't necessarily sit right with me. Nevertheless, it was an interesting first installment and I could definitely see the parallels to Red Riding Hood. I'll be interested in seeing what happens in the last two books of the trilogy. ...more

2.5 stars. This was a pretty good fairy tale retelling, and I enjoyed it up to a point. Sapphic retellings of fairy tales are some of my favourite things to read, so when I discovered this, I dropped pretty much everything else in order to read it immediately. It follows Hunter, a nurse's aide, who starts falling for Keira, the granddaughter of her newest client. It's a class difference romance; Hunter has always been poor, and is struggling to make ends meet with her sister and her sister's two 2.5 stars.

The romance was cute and I had no complaints, but I didn't really fall in love with it. I really wish more had been done with the Red Riding Hood motif; the way the "wolf" comes into the story was lacklustre and pretty anticlimactic to me. I kind of hated the ending, what with the way it turned into a "scared straight" morality play. Obviously Piper needed to change her ways, but this was such a patronising way to do it. And clearly I'm not defending her actions, but this is one of those narratives that puts rich people's feelings and sentiments above the needs of poor people, and I didn't love that. 

Still, not a bad read.

Like Cinders, Seeing Red is set in Grimm Falls but is a standalone novel. Keira has moved out of her sorority house to care for her grandmother who has been recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Her attraction to her best friend had a little something to do with it too. Hunter and her sister, Piper, are struggling to make ends meet and take care of Piper's two boys. Jed Wolfe, Piper's husband is serving a 10-year sentence for fraud but even locked away, he still has his claws in Piper.

Hunter is a nurse's assistant and when the opportunity to work for Keira's grandmother as her in-home care is offered, Hunter jumps at the chance. The extra cash will make a huge difference in their lives.

This is another sweet romance and a really easy read. The moral values were driven home a little excessively in a way that was more 'telling' than 'showing'. This re-imagining of Grimms' Little Red Cap is interesting and entertaining.

I love the modern day twist the author put on these classic fairy tales. Hunter is hard working and is trying to keep her family together. Keira needs help for her nanna and Hunter takes the job. Hunter falls for Keira quickly. There are some difficult things going on with Hunter’s sister Piper. Keira works on helping Hunter to live her own life and stop being her sister’s keeper. I really enjoyed this audiobook.

Seeing Red breathes new life into an old fairytale by the brothers Grimm.

Seeing Red breathes new life into an old fairytale by the brothers Grimm.

Cara Malone has completely refashioned the old story of what big ears, eyes, hands and mouth you have grandmother. Seeing Red takes place in Grimm Falls. After her grandfather died and her grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease, Keira Murphy moved in to help care for her grandmother. This is her senior year of college and she needs to attend classes during the day. While sharing coffee with her mother, Keira is overheard discussing her concerns by a worker in the coffeehouse. Piper's sister works in a long-term care facility for folks with dementia. Hunter Ross works hard to provide for her sister and nephews, but their combined incomes don't stretch far enough to keep the wolf from the door. Hunter agrees to interview with them as an in-home caregiver. Grandmother, mother and granddaughter are all impressed with Hunter and she immediately starts working.

Seeing Red is much more than an updated version of the little red riding hood story. Keira isn't skipping through the woods to grandma's house. Hunter isn't wielding any axes or skinning any wolves. The main characters have full and challenging lives. Keira comes from a wealthy family, but she's about to graduate from college and plans to work at a youth center downtown. Hunter dropped out of nursing school to move in with her sister and nephews. She spends nearly every waking moment working or in childcare. Sleep is a luxury that she can't afford.

What makes this novel so interesting is the gentle love story between the main characters. Keira and Hunter find a spark of magic that brings them together. It doesn't materialize out of thin air, but grows as they become close. There's no prince or evil stepmother to derail their relationship. Seeing Red creatively reimagined a gruesome childhood fairytale by adding a vivid lesbian romance. The original story is reprinted at the end of the novel and the contrast couldn't be more stark. Sometimes a new product really is an improvement especially in the case of this novel.

Also, you're telling me that for someone like Kiera's mother supposedly on top of everything and who is very rich and privileged, the first order on business upon hearing her mother's diagnosis wouldn't be to hire some professionals to look into best options? That grandma with alzheimer has been living alone for 6 months and this is the first time she decided to look into other options for her care??? And that she only did so because a harried barista told her she has a sister who's in the industry and to hire her?? AND THEN she would hire said sister after a 30 minutes chat and zero background check?? For the person who is going to be spending hours alone with the grandma in their opulent home????????

I'm sorry, but I couldn't couldn't suspend my disbelief long enough to buy the premise, and we're talking about someone who's currently eating up Jojo's bizzare Adventure, where one of the villains is an immortal vampire-eating dude who spends all his time posing in a speedo and turned his hand into a squirrell. So. If you're gonna set your story in our world, you need to work with our reality.

All in all, the suspension of disbelief was too much for me and the writing wasn't strong enough to keep me reading. A pity

Seeing Red is Cara Malone’s best work to date. She takes an old fairy tale and remakes it into something modern and fresh.

Kiera Murphy turns tail and runs for solace at Nana’s house. Everyone thinks of her as the benevolent granddaughter that moves in with her elderly grandmother to offer care and assistance as Alzheimer’s has wreaked havoc upon Nana’s memory. Nope, Kiera is happy to help and she adores her grandmother, she really has run away from life at the sorority house because she dropped her guard and in a drunken moment kissed her best friend.

Hunter Ross is up to her neck in debt, not her own but the debt saddled upon her by her sister, Piper. Piper a single mother of two young boys has had a run of bad luck. Her husband, a small-time crook and con-man has landed himself a long-term stint in prison leaving Piper with more bills than income and her dead-end job at a local coffee shop isn’t going to get any better income-wise. Hunter has stepped up for her big sister dropping out of nursing school and working nights and every shift she can get at a nursing home. All her other free time is spent caring for her nephews. No matter how hard Piper and Hunter work there is never enough money to get ahead.

Kiera and Piper have a chance meeting at the coffeehouse and Piper sells her sister's caregiver skills to the college senior. Kiera needs help with Nana while she is in class and Hunter needs the extra income. Of course, you know what comes next, heck yeah, Kiera and Hunter have that spark. They gravitate towards each other and the pull is too strong to resist. This is a sweet and sexy romance that I just adored.

Seeing Red is a cute and quick read with a sweet romance and really well-written characters. It’s loosely based on the fairy tale and I absolutely enjoyed this modern take with relatable characters.

Hunter has too much on her plate. She’s living with her sister, Piper and helping with the bills and her two nephews. She’s balancing a job in a care facility while also trying to keep Piper away from her jailed criminal husband, Jed Wolfe. Although things are really desperate, Hunter tries to show Piper that there’s a good life away from pulling cons. Meanwhile, wealthy college student Kiera has just moved in with her grandmother who’s been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Kiera isn’t only taking care of her grandmother but also hiding after an embarrassing encounter at her sorority house. A chance meeting brings Kiera and Hunter together. Kiera needs help with her grandmother and Hunter becomes the old woman’s caretaker. The pay is great, Kiera’s grandmother really likes Hunter and her family, and…there’s something magical happening between Hunter and Kiera. Maybe, Hunter can finally slow down. However, Jed still has his claws in Piper and her desperation to provide for her family will have consequences for all.

The split perspective between Kiera and Hunter with an occasional chapter from Piper really works because the characters have such distinct voices. Malone deftly avoids stereotypes and creates characters that are wonderfully written and relatable. Kiera and Hunter are great protagonists who are brave, interesting, and very real. They are so well-written that I was totally invested in them individually even before their romance blossoms. However, I would have liked more development on Hunter’s history, and Jed’s presence needed to be more ominous because he doesn’t seem like that much of a threat.

The romance between Kiera and Hunter is gentle, sweet, and natural. Despite the fairy tale romance, I like that Malone avoids leaning on classic tropes. She examines real issues like manipulative relationships, financial struggles, and Alzheimer’s. There are many instances that could have been melodramatic but Malone excellently handles her plot and characters to avoid unnecessary drama.

Cara Malone’s Seeing Red is a lovely read. The characters are really well-written, the romance is cute and the happy ever after perfectly fits. If you’re looking for an adorable lesbian romance that’s loosely inspired by a fairy tale, you won’t be disappointed!

Thanks a lot to Cara Malone for providing me with a review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Hunter is doing her best to stay afloat. She works night shifts at a nursing home, takes care of her nephews while her sister works and saves every penny she can so they can pay their bills and give the boys a good life. But when they are struggling to pay the mortgage again, Hunter can see that Piper wants nothing more than to crawl back to her criminal husband and ask him how to acquire the funds they need.

But then Kiera walks into their lives and Hunter gets a second job taking care of her grandmother. It pays well, and for the first time in a while Hunter feels like she can take a breath and allow herself to fall in love.

Or can she?

Seeing Red was a refreshing take at a fairy tale retelling. There is no magic in it, and it illustrates perfectly how real people can be the wolves in our lives and destroy everything they touch.

I loved Hunter for her resilience and loyalty to her sister, even when she made bad mistakes. Malone makes Hunter's love for her family clear from the very first page and it was wonderful to see her interact with them.

Meanwhile Keira was sweet and maybe almost too perfect,  and I liked her from the beginning. Her romance with Hunter was beatutiful to read about. It was really great to read about two characters with such different backgrounds and upbringings, with neither of them being terribly obnoxious about it. There was a calm understanding that they had different backgrounds but that it was fine. at the same time those differing backgrounds were undeniably there,  and it was so interesting to see the differences it made for Hunter and Keira, even though they are of a similar age.

Seeing Red is a wonderfull f/f romance for everyone who likes to read contemporary takes on fairy tales and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Please not though that there is an element of emotional abuse in the way Piper is treated by her husband.

She didn’t want her nephews to have a hard life like she and her sister had. While Hunter worked hard to take care of her family. Piper pulled cons trying to provide. I loved how Piper's character ended up.

I really liked Kiera’s grandmother. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Alzheimer's patients. Even though it wasn’t Kiera’s main reason for moving in with her grandma I think it became important for her as her grandmother’s disease progressed.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fairy tale retellings.

Thanks to the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Apart from the romance, there is an all-too realistic subplot involving the crushing cost of insulin for a person with diabetes, especially one who does not have adequate health insurance. Since this is a short story, the author does not have the space to delve into the many additional costs incurred in managing the condition.

This was a perfect book for me. The right amount of the serious, the cuteness, the scaredness (is that even a word??) And definitely, for the, the perfect amount of spice. Very creatively told with a great storyline, this book had me hooked by page 5. I loved it on Kindle so much, that halfway through, I purchased a physical copy. I loved the build up and also the way other storylines we're mixed in. I finished this in 2 days. For a fun, lighthearted sapphic read, definitely do not pass this gem This was a perfect book for me.

Enjoyed a lot

As always I enjoyed this book from Cara. I was constantly worried about things going badly (there had to be the danger from the wolf after all) lol I loved the story with Kiera and Hunter and appreciate the happy ending.

I am never disappointed with Cara’s books. :-)

This book is a romance. Despite this not being my usual genre preference I was instantly engaged with the story - finding myself very attached to the main character Hunter. I thought it had a good storyline with a very sweet romance. Each chapter is told from a different characters perspective which I personally like because I feel you get to know each character better.

I write stories that explore the thrills – and challenges – of falling in love as a woman-loving woman, including the bestselling Lakeside Hospital medical romance series and Rainbow Award honorable mention The Rules of Love.

My books are for you if you’re a fan of contemporary romance, if you love strong women who aren’t afraid to be vulnerable, and if you like a little heat with your sapphic love
