Scarlet by Marissa Meyer

Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles, #2)

by Marissa Meyer

The fates of Cinder and Scarlet collide as a Lunar threat spreads across the Earth…

Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of the bestselling Lunar Chronicles.

She's trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive.

Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information about her grandmother's whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner.

What Cinder has done has repercussions and Queen Levana is using her as an excellent excuse. Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing and she trusts Wold to help her, but he has secrets that could break the relationship and when Scarlet and Cinder get together they will have to deal with a lot of opposition.

And I just realised that a lot of the story of little Red Riding Hood is contained here.

Not a bad read but suffers a bit from being a bridging novel.
