I loved this take on Little Red Riding Hood, it had so many unique takes but did the werewolf version justice. The grandmother in the woods, in this case, grandfather, was a hilarious character and loved how irritating he found people. I was happy to see Little Red Riding Hood was the alpha of this pair as opposed to ‘the wolf’. I enjoyed watching them explore the bond before they noticed it was there and watching them interact with the people in their community. I am eager to go back show more and read Cinder and learn about the Alpha couple who founded the pack and hope to see more from this series soon.

Slumber is the fifth book in the ‘Fairest of Them All’ series. It stars Metro, an Alpha coyote shifter, and Brett, an omega wolf shifter. This is told in first person from both Metro and Brett’s povs.



First the cover. I really like it. I love the color combinations, and the grunge texture of the background. I also like the simple one-word title.

The blurb gives a lose description of the plot. Here’s more info. Metro is called in to check a patient at the hospital. He knows it’s a show more shifter of some kind from the phone conversation. As soon as he walks in, he knows that Brett is his mate. Brett had been hearing a voice in his head before Metro walked in, so the blurb is incorrect that ‘mate’ is the first word he heard. Brett has amnesia and it appears later in the story, that his wolf may have been protecting him from the memories in order to save both of them from the person who tried to kill them. Brett has nowhere to go once discharged from the hospital, so Metro decides to take care of him, how could he not since they’re mates? From there, Brett heals further at Metro’s home, and Metro starts to visit neighboring wolf packs to see if any of them have a lost pack member. All this time they try to resist the draw towards each other. Metro understands what is happening, but Brett doesn’t because he’s forgotten he’s a wolf shifter.

I enjoyed the first half of the book as Metro and Brett learned about each other and Brett learned more about what he was. Once they mated, about half way through the book, the plot inconsistencies appeared. Statements or situations that happened were later ignored or twisted up or stretched the imagination so they didn’t make sense. One of the worst was at the end, when Brett is pregnant and due any day. Metro had to work, but didn’t want to leave Brett alone, or not be there for him if Brett went into labor. So, Metro brought Brett with him on duty. Is that not utterly, eyerollingly ridiculous? Brett’s ready to pop, super uncomfortable, but riding in a car for hours, with no way to lay down to rest on a more comfortable bed or sofa, can’t put his feet up, or take the numerous bathroom breaks he’d need. I’d like to know how Metro got any patrolling done having to search for restrooms constantly for Brett? This kind of scene is often part of this team of authors writing. But I also have to lay blame on the betas/proofers/editors for not telling the authors how illogical some of the scenes are. This was just one of the inconsistencies that happened in the second half of the book. I marked more, but am not going to list them all.

As to the characters, Metro and Brett were fine. Nothing memorable about either of them, they are just nice guys. They’re pretty much the same kind of personalities that always appear in this author teams’ stories.

Overall, Slumber is an okay, fast, and easy read. I liked the first half of the story more than the second half. I give this book, 3 Stars.
