Red (Dark Enchantments Book 1)

This is my 1st read from tasha and I have to say this was amazing.it does end on a cliffhanger .You have Lillian who has been treated so badly by her pack and grew up with her grandmother who lived in the woods til she was 18 then she moved to the village.You had the beast(Lucian)who is mysterious and has a sad back story,through no fault of his own he is cursed to stay in the woods and stay in wolf form.I absolutely loved the characters and cannot wait to see certain characters get their comeuppance

Didn’t flow very well and story was too quick in parts I was wondering what was happening I tried to stick it out to see the ending but turned out it’s only a part one. I won’t be going for the next instalment.While the base of the story is good I love a good red riding hood story I found the characters to be very flat and the world building non existent.

This is a Little Red Riding Hood retelling. The focus is on HER. This is a fade to black romance. There is NO $mut!We follow Lillian and her journey to discovering the truths, surrounding her life and future. There is plenty character development and world building. The author pulls you into her world from the start and doesn’t lose her grip on you.I LOVED the first installment of this series! I am looking forward to more!!

Poor Lilly has put up with her pack being cruel to her for most of her life. Then things change, suspiciously. No foul language or sex. Left on a cliffhanger. I hate that

First of all, there was a lot to unpack in that prologue. Like way to much. It easily could have been another book and I think I would have preferred that because that was a huge info dump.There was some odd writing styles. In the beginning we get a form of proper 18th century English from Lillian and then in changes to an odd slang for BBW (big bad wolf):"But that requires me being able to reach her or her coming into my domain. How he is even with her and enjoys any time with her still boggles me. If I were him, I'd be after Lillian. That is where it's at."You'd think this would be reversed but it isn't and feels off to me.I also find some of the logic odd. An example of that is that there's a beast that is causing people to disappear and her grandmother expects her to go through the woods 4-5 times every day? That's a pretty crappy grandmother. She refuses to move into town to make life easier and safer for her granddaughter and to top it off she's a master gaslighter.BBW: "Though she denies my existence to Lily, she knows exactly what and who I am."She's literally been telling Lillian that she's nuts and nothing is out there and that it's all in her head. Wtf? I get she can't say anything but there are other ways to have your characters handle that situation.Also what is the timeline? They have servants scrubbing floors with buckets and small brushes that don't get paid but also have BBQ ribs. They live in log cabins in the woods but have jeans. It's a little confusing.Overall I did enjoy the story as illogical as it was though I found myself skimming at around 50% and continuing a proper read at around 80%. There just was a lot of fluff. This easily could have been a really good 150 pg book instead of a mediocre 300 ph book. I appreciate the simplicity of some of it and it's refreshing to have a 0 spice rating but I probably won't read the second book.

Nicely written story. Ended with a cliff hanger that I need to see to the end. I’ve grown attached to Beast and I think Lillian is turning into a kick-butt heroine. Can’t wait to see what happens!!!

Wow, this is a wonderful story with amazing characters. If has everything you want in an original story. There are wolf shifters, secrets, magic, deceit, loss, a beast, a girl in a red riding hood, a grandmothers love as well as the power to overcome. If you love shifter stories this is the book for you!!!
