Bunny's Reviews: The Red Trilogy Review Spotlight

Welcome one! Welcome all to the book tour for The Red Trilogy with Black Tide Book Tours! Love fairy tale retellings with teeth and a twist? Then this is the book that you're not going to want to miss! Keep reading for more details and where you can grab a copy!

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Well, you might be after reading this trilogy. LOL! The Red Trilogy by Paul Kane is a gripping, jaw-dropping trilogy set that is going to have you coming back for more. Before you even get past the prologue of book one your jaw is going to be on the floor, eyes bugging out of your head, and your mind is going to absolutely be whirring. Brace yourself, because you've been warned! LOL!

Red kicks things off with a jaw-dropping prologue that is literally going to have you thinking "WTH did I just read?!" Of course, you will hardly be deterred from delving deeper into this story as you eagerly dig deeper to find out what happens next.

It would seem that Paul Kane is an expert at making things appear to be one thing instead of what they truly are, because this book is packed with them. Ready to meet the FMC? Well, Rachel is a young woman who helps care for people in their homes. She's good at her job, she's just really forgetful of things. That's going to be land her in some bad situations in this book - which you'll see. However, it won't be entirely her fault. When you're being hunted...well, simply doing anything in this case is going to land you in trouble. LOL!

This book and the entire series are a collection of insane page-turners. At first, you'll think, ...where does the "fairy tale tie in?" Wait for it, my friend! Wait. For. It!! We thought the same thing when we started reading this book, but it's coming! The wonderful thing of it is that it continues to be tied into the story into book two. You start getting flashbacks, memories, and so much more. So, think that you're going to be putting this book down for a minute? Taking a breather for a minute? Ha! Guess again! LOL!

The Red Trilogy is packed with horrific goodness and we absolutely ate it up. Yes, we're a horror fan, and all you have to say is "I have a horror book...wanna check it out?" And we will come running! LOL!

This dark and deliciously evil twist on Little Red Riding Hood is to die for. You'll be trying to devour this book before it devours you. So many excellent twists, tons of surprises, and drama that won't let you down. Readers who are horror fans? This one's for you!

5 out of 5 stars

“Kane does an incredible job.”
(Cemetery Dance on RED)

“Gleefully gruesome… RED is wonderfully written.”
(Hellnotes)

“Paul Kane is a first-rate storyteller, never failing to marry his insights into the world and its anguish with the pleasures of phrases eloquently turned.” (Clive Barker – Bestselling author of The Hellbound Heart, Mr B. Gone and The Scarlet Gospels)

“Kane is adept at putting flesh on the bones: all the more horrifying, my dear, when he strips it off again.”(Alison Littlewood – Bestselling author of A Cold Season, The Hidden People, The Crow Garden and The Other Lives of Miss Emily White as A.J. Elwood)

“Get ready to take this journey through a very modern fairy tale. It has teeth, but not just at the end. These days, the path itself is full of dangers.” (Tim Lebbon – Bestselling and award-winning author of The Silence, Eden and The Last Storm)

“RED is bloody brilliant – clever, classy and bound to chill you to the bone!” (Horror World)

Evil takes on many forms – something Rachael Daniels, an innocent care worker, is about to find out… personally.

Something is roaming the streets of the city where she lives, something monstrous with a taste for sweet, red, human blood.

Something that can be anything it wants to be.

Soon, Rachael learns the hard way that not even the friendliest faces can be trusted.

As she makes her way across that city one night on an errand of mercy, she quickly discovers the terrifying creature will definitely have no such consideration for her…

Together in one book for the very first time ever, the RED trilogy is a modern, urban reworking of a classic fairy tale, which puts the horror spin on an old favourite.

Blood RED picks up straight away after the events of RED, the first installment, while Deep RED throws you into a nightmarish future scenario. If you dare to open these pages, you’ll face a terrifying journey into the unknown – courtesy of award-winning and #1 bestselling author, Paul Kane (the sellout Hooded Man, Monsters, Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell, & Before)
