Henry Whelp is a big bad wolf—or will be,someday. The only son of the infamous Red Riding Hood Killer, Henry is worried that he may be following in his father’s violent footsteps. He tries to distance himself from his past, and avoids the other teens at St. Remus Home for Wayward Youth, a detention centre in Dust City—a rundown, gritty metropolis known for its production of fairydust. But when Henry’s psychiatrist turns up dead, Henry finds himself on a trail of clues that may lead to proof of his father’s innocence—and the horrifying secret behind fairydust.
Quick thoughts: 1. Loved the similarities between this world and our world. 2. The fairy tale aspects are only there a little bit. 3. A little iffy on the romance. It was random and too quick. 4. I liked that the ending wasn't necessarily happy. It turned out ok but it wasn't what you were expecting. 5. I loved the villains. They weren't as scary as they should have been though.
