A not-so-powerful witch battles her past and a dark presence lurking in the forest to save her grandma in this modern paranormal retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. WARNING: This Fairy Tale Reboot contains sexy and mysterious strangers, angry innkeepers, sarcastic exchanges, sassy old ladies, an umbrella showdown, and a Happily Ever After. Aurora Bishop, known to her friends as Red, comes from a long line of witches—but she's not interested in magic. She lives in New York City, where her dates keep turning out to be toads and the only magic she performs is getting her impulsive friend to stop slipping love potions into people's drinks. Her mother is the new leader of the city's coven and happy where she is, but Red isn't sure what she wants. When they receive a message that her beloved Nana is desperately ill, it's up to Red to return to the tiny village where she grew up and deliver a restoration elixir to her grandmother's forest cottage. There, she must face not only the memories of her childhood sweetheart, who vanished from the village eleven years ago, but also the darkness that's swallowing the forest—and the evil presence behind it that wears more than one face. It won't be an ordinary walk in the woods for Red. Because the darkness has big ears, big eyes...and big teeth.
