Reader reviews:

"Hurtig has taken the beloved Little Red Riding Hood tale from our childhood and given it new life—a story with a strong female protagonist who doesn’t need to wait for a huntsman to rescue her; she can handle it herself. A new favourite!
It’s a masterpiece of Swedish fantasy."

"In Bloodstained Snow, we get the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood—only darker, eerier, drenched in blood, and sprinkled with a forbidden love full of heat. Hurtig tells this story in an absolutely magical way, yet at the same time chillingly, with a strong female protagonist, Little Red Riding Hood, radiating strength and determination. We get all the essentials: an exciting beginning, a passionate middle, and a gripping ending that leaves you fully satisfied."

"Dark, steamy romantasy at its finest 🔥😍"

"Oh my, this book was everything I hoped for and more! Incredible language—so beautiful, suspenseful from start to finish, filled with emotions, and a fantastic introduction to the world and upcoming books in the series. I can’t wait to see how it continues! I absolutely loved this book! 👌❤️"

"A darker, bloodier fantasy retelling of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. The language is incredibly beautiful for Swedish fantasy. Thrilling to the very last page. And the ending?? Excuse me?? What’s that about? You can’t just end the book like that! Give us the sequel NOW!"

"Absolutely brilliant book! I loved the blood witches, and the characters were amazing! 😍 Highly recommend this book—the ending was gripping and thrilling! Girl power 🙌🏼"
