Free Relinquished Hood (Red Hood Chronicles Book 2) Compiled By Kendrai Meeks Kindle

this series, still no smutty bits but at this point I'm not missing that part of the story, The main focus is on Little Red, her complex relationships and what is she!
I did guess what I think was suppose to be twist very early on.
But the story wasn't what I thought it may be, so I got to be a little surprised,
The whole one mate for life thing though, . . that just annoys me. Fated mates I get, but to mate for life with the person you lose your virginity too, . . short end of the mating rules there, Almost like no matter what you force love someone if you get it on, Anyways rambling there.
Onto the next book, really what little red to have some fun, just a little bit!
,stars.stars. Omgggggg soooooo good. Love the unique twist on vampires and werewolves, with the slayers and the hoods, So creative. I love Tobias. Tobias is so protective and adorable, He needs to be protected more, My heart aches to think of how her and Codys relationship ended literally feel sad every time its mentioned lol, But I need her and Tobias together, I would say her and Cody but with a baby on the way before the baby I thought maybe they could dissolve his forced mating but now I cant see it unless she miscarried or died.
I just want Tobias to find happiness he deserves the world, Love that guy. Who cares about Caleb lol we love Tobias Relinquished Hood picks up not too long after the end of Reluctant Hood, We find Geri Kline very surprised to learn that her internship with Igor Karmarov is still on, despite how things ended at the end of the first novel.
Geri is joined for the summer by Tobias, a European werewolf who is now indebted to her for saving his life,

Geris personal mission is to find out what the vampires in Chicago are up towhy are they so interested in the werewolves Once she realizes that her powers as a nascent hood arent going to be enough, Geri begins to train with Tobias, and later Caleban intriguing man in the WWL building where she works with a secret of his own.
Geri realizes that there are more layers to this mystery than she wants to know, but at this point in the game, its too late.
Shes in it for the long haul, whether she likes it or not,

I liked this sequel to Reluctant Hood and the cliffhanger ending makes me excited for the third book, It was easy to get invested in the characters and want to know more about them, I was a little disappointed that Geris roommate Amy only appeared a little at the beginning and hope she plays a bigger role in future books her comic relief is fun and entertaining.
Im also interested to find out more about Caleb, Igor, and Inga, and seriously, what the heck does Geris mother, Red Matron Brunhild, know that she is so desperate to keep from her daughter

I was thrilled to get my hands on an early copy of this book and look forward to finding out more in this modern day Little Red Riding Hood tale.
A highly enjoyable and fresh spin on an old fairy tale, I look forward to more in this series, Still loving the storyline. The Hoods for Werewolves and Slayers for Vampires, At first when I started reading the book I was confused on The Seven Ravens part, but as you got further into the story it all became clear.
Geri is still going against her mom, Cody is still having Tobias protect her, She is now working in WWL to try to find out what happened to the Werewolves that disappeared, I dont want to say too much on the book and ruin everything so I will leave it at that, I cant wait for the next book to come out, .

Its not as good as this first, but I do like where its going, There wasnt as much witty banter in this one either, which was part of the Main reason I enjoyed the first one.

I can see where this is going, while at the same time it isnt predictable,
Looking forward to therd book It just keeps getting better!

Im all in Geri is so relatable though her life and even ethnic backgrounds a bit foreign.
I love characters and the twists you dont see coming, Kendrai has figured how to make Tobias a sizzling a type male and also the best boy! The grumpiest boy! We explore family bond more and Im glad Geri isnt totally alone.
Decent read A little slow with action Has some interesting unexpected twists and new characters, Keeps getting better!

Meeks has done a fantastic job keeping us on our toes with this part of the story.
Just when you are sure you know what is going to happen, you are spun about and pointed in another direction, Even better than the last book!

The legacy of Little Red Riding Hoods descendants continues, This one definitely had me hooked from the first paragraph, So much so that I read it in one sitting, And the chemistry between Geri and Tobias is undeniable, even though both insist on trying to deny it, Can't believe I have to waitmonths for the next chapter of this story! Old legends, werewolves, vampires, I'm ready, bring on more! I loved it.
The character development from the first book is first class, I couldnt put it down and Im already on the next one, Youll love it! This is a whole new twist on the Red riding hood fairy tale, Our hood is Geri, and she is a fun, kick butt type of heroine that is so likeable as a character, All kinds of plots going on in the story with lots of action and some mystery, We have wolves of the were persuasion and vampires too, Of course lots of conflict within going on and a mother who is not my favorite character, That being said this is the second book and its even better than the last, This is one of those books that you hate to see end and I eagerly wait for the next, All of the characters are well developed and likeable and the world building is fantastic, If I could I would give this book some more, Hooked

Geri is back and uncovering more vampire secrets, This series has really hooked me now, I couldnt put it down! I need more of this twisted fairytale, This was an amazing sequel and I honestly cannot wait to see what happens next, this book is full of action and unexpected developments, Geri dives deep inside the world of  the WWL corporation, as the secrets of their genetic research get revealed,
The complex friendship between Geri and Tobias develops and solidifies, as the new painful discoveries come to light and new interesting characters, crucial to the story are reveled.
Geri's mother comes to the forefront with her inexplicable acts of brutality, most of which are directed towards Geri,
New unexpected alliances are formed and most of the questions get answered towards the end of the book, The ending leaves an opening for further confrontations and I am curious to see where it is going to go, This book was an emotional roller coaster full of nonstop action and I could not stop reading until it was finished,  
The reading order is: Requited Hood Red Hood,available for subscribers to the author's newsletter on the author's website, Reluctant Hood Red Hood, Relinquished Hood Red Hood, and Ravening Hood Red Hood.
This is a great series but I fear that this book while clearing up a LOT of things is more of a information dump before what I hope is a much more satisfying bookthat moves the story along a bit more.


Geri is still a bit of a mystery that we are being fed little pieces of which starts to get frustrating after a bit.


Bottom Line in this short review, lots of info, seems to be a couple of subplots and I can't wait for the next one but hope it is a bit more fulfilling than this one was but even after all the things in this book I still have a ton of questions and hope they will be answered in bookor at least see a big movement in the story and hopefully her powers.
I really liked Relinquished Hood and will definitely continue with this series, In fact I'm going to get onto Amazon right now and order the next one, I enjoy the central characters and their growing, changing relationships, I missed Geri's roommate Amy, but understand that not every character can be in every book, I hope that Geri can develop more strong female relationships in the next book, But I do appreciate that she can have strong male relationships that are not romantic in nature, I enjoyed the plot twists with answers to some open questions from the first book while opening up new areas to explore in subsequent books.
Kendrai Meeks has established a universe with a set of rules that she continues and enhances in the second book of the Red Hood Chronicles.
OMG. This series just keeps getting better and better, Cant wait until February. LOVED this book. The sequel to Reluctant hood the red hood chronicles,
It was fast paced and had enough action to keep me needing more, I really like the way the friendship between Geri and Tobias is going and this book also has a few new characters introduced with some interesting backstories.

You will love it if your a fan of supernatural/fantasy type books, As with the first one, I'm still torn, Still,stars, and that only thanks to the intruiging world, plus the truly magnificently funny language,
But storywise I love Geri and the other characters, truly, yet, especially Geri, though supposedly clever and smart conveniently ignores fairly obvious clues, only to later 'suddenly' have it somehow revealed.
That gets on my nerves, as well as her blind hate for her mother, even though it's obvious she is only acting the way she does out of love.

Finally, again,

while at least the major arch from book one is more or less brought to its conclusion, it definitely ends again in the middle of the next arch.
So on it goes for me, Grudgingly. Again Im already anxious for the next, I love Kendrais twist to the paranormal realm,
I was totally cut off guard with the turn of events, And what is going on between Geri and Tobias, . .

Family drama, supernatural connections, the deeper truths uncovered, . .

Love it! Fantastic!

Love the evolution and interaction of the characters, Another fantastic storyline. Cannot wait to read book three, Geri is an awesome lass to read about, Wasn't for me .

Felt too YA urban fantasy for me, also this has kept popping up in romance and it's NOT a romance even in the slightest.

I feel bad for Geri I do,deeply in love and having the one you love forced to another,
But honestly it's all really weird because even you can tell she still has some feelings for her ex , I dint care I'd they were all pawns of her horrible crazy mother, it was only a year ago, she should be angry and maybe a touch bitter at the situation.
.
I mean one minute she hints he was like her fated mate almost and the "he will" always be home to her,and he can't seem to let her go even though he's already "knocked up" his mate, nothing's happening w/the vamp.
Slayer and Tobias is NEVER going to be over his mate,
This was as clean as a hallmark movie and that ok, because
This, Is. Not. A. Romance. Book.
I just wish it would stop being put in that category !
If you want an interesting story about vampires and their evil machinations against werewolves and aren't interested in romance this might be the story for you.

But the reviewer who said this story had steam !
WTF!!
Geri gets kissed once then it fades to black, if you think this book is steamy I guess hallmark movies are white hot passion to you.
. .
Like I said, if you want a nice mild non romantic urban fantasy,with vamp, s plotting against wolves w/a bit of a YA feel , you'll love this, . .
But if you want something deep or gritty, or if like me you saw this in a romance category , well not soo much.
. .
Thank you fir your work and effort Ms, Meeks but this wasn't for me, . .
Good luck , i hope your very successful
