Crimson Bound is the second of Rosamund Hodge’s fairy tale inspired novels, though they aren’t sequels. This one is very loosely based on Red Riding Hood.

Aza Ray is sick, so sick that they named her disease after her. The problem is that her body doesn’t breathe in air properly. Aza isn’t one of those saintly sick kids, though.

A fifth novel comes out this fall, and you better believe I preordered it already! The Year We Fell Down was my favorite of them all. Corey and Hartley were so cute […]
