Red is the first book I’ve read by MK Harkins. I did not read the first book, so you can definitely read this as a stand alone and not be lost. I now want to go back and read the first, as well as any other book I can get by this author! The characters and world building were spot on. I was intrigued by the cover and the overview, but completely entranced the entire book! My emotions were on the same rollercoaster as the characters! I loved them all but my favorites were Merilee and Zuriel! I hope there is more to come with them. If you enjoy modern twists on fairy tales, run and grab this book!

Red is a fun and short read. It is the second in the story so it is after Ashes (Cinderella retelling) and does continue on with parts of that story was well. It can be read as a stand alone still. George is Harry’s best friend and going thru a rough patch in his life due to his love disappearing at the prom (who was really a fairy godmother playing the part of Georges true love). Merilee now must fix her muddling with the help of an annoying guardian angel who is full of himself and get George and Lily together as they are supposed to be. Lilly is a broke college student that needed a place to stay and ended up finding her best friend and running into her true love. I found this retelling of Little Red Riding Hood to be fun and engaging with a nice modern twist. I can’t wait to read more modern-day fairy tales by M.K. Harkins!

This is the second book in the Modern Day Fairy Tale Series. These are a great mixture of a retelling of a classic fairy tale with a modern twist. This story is full of paranormal elements, magic, danger, and a sense of fate. This story could be read as a standalone as the main characters are different to the first book, however some of the characters from the first book do reappear. Me personally I would recommend reading them in order as it really enhances this magical series.
This is George and Lilly’s story. George is still trying to get over his heartbreak and he struggles to come to terms with losing Laura (read the first book) he is positive there is no one else and that she was his soul mate. However Laura wasn’t all she appeared. Lilly is finally on her own making her way in life and when she meets George sparks definately fly. But will George be able to recognise that Lily could be his soul mate before it’s too late? With 2 fairy-godmothers in training trying to help and a grumpy guardian angel trying to clear up the mess from the first story there is a lot going on. And when someone from George’s past returns with evil intentions will anyone be safe? These stories are amazing reads and a beautiful retelling of a classic tale with a twist that makes them relevant today.

Red is the second installment in the Modern-Day Fairy Tales series by M.K. Harkins. I was unaware of the first book when I picked this up, so I would definitely recommend reading Ashes first as it’s a bit confusing if you haven’t. This book has a little bit of everything fairytale related, with magic, adventures, and of course Fairy god mothers. I absolutely adore any sort of Fairy Tale spin offs, interpretations, etc., and this was no exception. The characters are right there with you, you’re put right into the settings, and it’s just an overall great book. I will definitely be looking into Ashes!

This story was cute! It was loosely based on red riding hood and I like the supernatural elements thrown in. I thought the writing was good and I enjoyed the mc’s. There are second chance/soulmates tropes in this one and I am a sucker for those! I am glad I picked this one up and I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future! Happy Reading!

Lily is a young woman with some very overbearing parents, especially her mother and because of this, she was homeschooled and only entered the world of public education in her senior years, and nothing prepared her for the bullying and harassment that she experienced; however she absolutely loves animals and decides that she wants to escape the nest and go to college. George is a young man who has dreamed of attending vet school from a young age, however, when he gets there, all he feels is pain, pain from the disappearance of the love of his life with no word of where she went or why and this has led him into a deep depression that he is struggling to get out of.
This has led to him spiralling out of control and his roommate dragging him kicking and screaming out of it with the treat that he will lose out on his chance to fulfil his dream, so he slowly gets his act together and catch up with life outside of his ex. Meanwhile, Lily is in a desperate situation and does not want to admit she was wrong to her parents, however, when a solution presents itself to her, she throws caution to the wind and takes a chance on a stranger.
When fate intervenes and Lily and George meet for the first time, there is an instant attraction and feeling of comfort with each other that neither can deny, however, George runs away and rejects Lily, much to her embarrassment and annoyance, this all changes when the past rears its ugly head and Lily is caught in the middle. While all of this is going on, in the background there are a Fairy Godmother without much experience and a grumpy Guardian Angel hovering and trying to aid fate, however, nothing moves smoothly on that end either, so while they decide whether to interfere, or stand by and just watch, will George be able to save Lily and their future, or will the past extinguish the fires of fate? This is a twist on a well-loved fairytale in a modern setting that will hook you in and keep you guessing throughout.

I didn’t read the first book, so I didn’t quite follow, but as the book went on I felt like I wasn’t missing out on much. The story between Lily and George was an interesting take on the Red Hiding Hood story. The story was very well paced and the dynamic between the female and male lead’s was well done. You have two very dynamic characters who have a lot going on in their lives. One who is ready to move on and one who is somewhere stuck in the past and afraid. Then you have background characters Merilee and Zuriel, a fairy godmother and a guardian angel. Those two clash like fire and water, but the chemistry between the two is interesting. The back and forth between each set of characters was quite the ride of emotions. I enjoyed reading the book, and I think I’m going to go back and read Ashes!

This is my first time reading a story by M.K parking. This author’s Storytelling is truly one of a kind. With their unique new takes on some old classics. This is the second book of the modern day fairy tale series, Which loosely follows Red Riding Hood and her journey. But not only Red’s but Also another side character gets their love match. I really enjoyed the modern day setting, which made me want to read it all the more. I definitely have to go back and read the Cinderella version. I can’t wait to see what more this author has in-store for us. Or who to see what Fairy Tale character The author does next. fingers crossed its Belle and the beast!! I’d run to buy it lol 🥰

This was my first book by this author and I truly love the writing style. This was like a supernatural twist with second chance romance read. This is a page turner for me. The world building was great. The detailing was well thought of. If you love supernatural romance books, I highly recommend you reading this series.

This was a cute book that I really enjoyed. It’s a fantasy romance with some mystery elements, too. Take a modern day cinderella and little red riding hood and add fairies and guardian angels. Such an interesting twist that made for a fun read. I enjoyed the story of Lily and George, along with the many other key characters – Ashley, Harry, Hunter, Merilee, Fannetta and Zuriel. This is book two in the Modern-Day Fairy Tale series. I think reading book one would’ve added some background info, but I did not read book 1 and had no problem understanding the story. I did enjoy this book a lot and would read other books in this series based on reading this one.

This book was a quick read for me. The characters were good but I kept feeling I wanted more. I don’t know if it was the characters but I had a hard time remaining engaged in the plot. I would read others by the author to get an overall base of what left me a little. It could just be this story.

In book 2 of this series lily finally is free of homeschooling and the incessant foreboding her mother is always selling her about the world and for the first time she can truly enjoy the world around her in college. Sure enough she meets an electrifying man named George, but George has his own hangups after his big love passed away and he’s torn up about it even pushing away lily’s advances repeated when he can feel the intense spark between them. Bring in a funny and completely inexperienced bumbling fairy godmother and a full of himself guardian angel to help these two soul mates (lily and george) finally get together and you’re in for a great of romance, and comedy of the behind the scene influences. This book is just as good as the first one and I loved it.

Merilee had messed up on her mission. She had been sent to Earth to help Ashley Adams find her soulmate, Harry James, who was a famous singer. Posing as Laura Vanetta, Merilee had become best friends with Ashley, keeping her safe from her stepmother, who had attempted to kill her. She had spent time with Harry’s best friend, George Sparks. George had fallen in love with Merilee. Ashley’s Guardian Angel, Zuriel, was furious because he now had to work with Merilee and Fannetta to keep Ashley safe from her stepmother and help George be open to love again. Merilee and Zuriel are not happy about working together.
George’s new roommate, Hunter, was desperate to get George out of his depression. Now at the University of California, George still wasn’t over, not knowing why Laura was just gone. After convincing him to attend a party, George spiraled further into depression by drinking every day and missing his classes for two weeks. Hunter warned him that he was on academic probation and was risking his dream of being a veterinarian. Hunter convinced him to talk to a counselor. Meadow was going to help him move forward with life.
Lily was staying at an Airbnb and worried she was going to fail with her plans. Her mother had wanted her to stay nearby and go to medical school. However, Lily didn’t want to be a doctor for people. She wanted to work with animals and decided to leave Washington to take the veterinary program at UCLA. While at Target, Ashley overhears Lily talking to the cashier. She offers Lily a room in her house.
During Ashley and Harry’s first anniversary, George meets Lily. They had so many things in common and agreed to meet at a coffee house for a date. The date goes well and extends all day. At the end of the date, they kiss passionately. Suddenly, George stops the kiss and tells her he has to leave and can’t see her again. Lily is hurt.
Red is full of suspense that is filled with tension on every page. Merilee and Zuriel seem to have a love-hate relationship that grows the longer they try to intervene in George’s downward spiral and refusal to admit his feelings for Lily. The emotional turmoil is easy to understand. There are some darker themes; however, the romance is appropriate for high school-age readers. This is a five star novel capable of being a standalone, despite being the second in the series.

An engaging modern take on the ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ story. Lily is happy to head off to college, leaving the confines of her over-protective mum’s house. George is a handsome college student, nursing a broken heart and unable to move on from Laura. Sparks fly when these two meet, but will George ever be able to stop pining for his lost love in time to see Lily as his soulmate? Add in a couple of fairy godmothers-in-training and an arrogant, annoying Guardian angel, trying to fix the mess that they made in the first book, whilst keeping everyone safe from a vengeful person from George’s past. This book continues straight on from the first book in the series, Ashes, and whilst it is a stand-alone book, the background of the characters’ situations from Ashes would help to understand where they are today.

George has had his heart broken, but little did he know it was by a matchmaking fairy godmother Merilee. Now George is in a rut and can’t seem to heal from the girl he loved. Merilee is ordered to head back to earth and fix the mess she created.
Lily is anxious about college in a sense, she can handle the education but she finds herself in limbo with where to stay. Fate has a way of giving her an opportunity she can’t refuse and little does she know it will bring George into her life. The chemistry between them feels right but can she trust it?
This was a delightful read. I thought the emotions for each of the characters translated really well in the story. I like how the characters from the first book and this one are a big part of the story. Can’t wait for Hunter’s story.

“Red” is an enchanting and engaging read that weaves together elements of fairy tales, romance, and self-discovery. The story is full of lovable characters, witty dialogue, and exciting plot twists. The blending of fairy tales and modern-day settings is innovative and captivating. The idea of a fairy godmother and guardian angel working together adds a fresh spin to traditional mythological elements.
Lily and George are relatable and likable protagonists. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their personalities shine through in their interactions. The banter between characters is witty and amusing, adding a lighthearted touch to the story. (For example: “Some people think I go overboard. Especially the time when I drove sixty miles to rescue a squirrel,” or “George is like a dysfunctional hypothalamus. A hypo what?”
The playlist at the beginning of the novel is a nice added touch.

Red (Modern-Day Fairy Tale Book 2) by MK Harkins. In the second book of the Modern Day Fairy Tale series we get a rendition of Little Red Riding Hood. The main character is Lilly whose Mom has sheltered her so much that she is soo excited to go to college. Her mom even home schooled her to keep her away from all the bad things. When Lilly gets to college she meets George and falls in love instantly the only problem is, George is still in love with his high school sweetheart. George is so wrapped up in her memory he can’t seem to move forward. What will Lilly have to do to get him over this girl? This is such a fun, young adult, fantasy retelling of Little Red Riding Hood and you will catch a ton of metaphors in the story. I do recommend reading the first book before this one to learn the characters better. I can’t wait to read the next one!

Having read the first book in this series I was excited to pick up the second and discover another reimagined fairytale. This book is a different take on Little Red Riding Hood and I have to say that I absolutely loved it. I thought I knew what to expect from the first book but this one was so much better! I quickly became invested in the story and I loved the addition of the guardian angel. The characters were interesting and fit the story well. There was more going on with them than I expected which made them even more enjoyable to read about. You do not have to read the previous book first (although you should because it is also amazing!) as this book in a standalone. It is a fantastic retelling and, if this is a sign of what is to come, I cannot wait for the next one this author has to offer!

This book is so clever and unique. While Just Ducky is not my first weird shifter read it is definitely one of the better ones. Ducky is relatable with her wit, anxiety and demeanor and this is what I love about her. The world building is good, character building was even better and I have to say it whole heartedly pulled me in to it’s weird little world.
I can’t wait to read about some other weird shifters that the author comes up with.

Fairy godmother-in-training, Merilee, has to fix a mess she might have accidentally caused. George’s true love is right in front of him, but he still pines for his high school sweetheart. Is he going to wait too long and miss out on his true love? Not if Merilee and her crew can correct all the mishaps from the past. This was a fun, lighthearted, young-adult read.

I love fairy tales and this modern twist on classic fairy tales is exciting and fresh. Ashes had a bit of Cinderella in it and this one is loosely based on Little Red Riding Hood. There isn’t an actual wolf dressed as granny in this story but you’ll catch the similarities. So much happened in this story and I don’t want to ruin any details but more than one person finds their love match. I cannot wait for the next one!

The first book I’ve read by this author and it did not disappoint. This was a fun and captivating YA fantasy. The author did a great job developing her characters. I particularly liked the FMC Maddie and her getting the gift of a DNA test from her grandmother as a gift. She has always been a rule follower and much to her surprise the results reveal she is one-quarter villain! Highly recommend this one.

Having not read the first book, there were a few points I felt like I might be missing out on some character development, so I will definitely be checking out book 1 so I can get the full spectrum of the characters. I am always a fan of original fairy tales and fairy tale spin offs, this story was beautifully written and the author did an incredible job of creating well developed characters that are so relatable, even with the fairy tale twist. George was such a well written character that you just wanted everything to be OK for him and my heart broke every time it seemed like he was getting so close and then would retreat. I absolutely loved Lilly, she was so excited and eager to see the real world and experience as much as she could, and she was a fun and engaging character that you couldn’t help but root for her. I loved the additional twist of not only a fairy god mother, but a guardian angel as well. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

It is a modern take on a classic fairytale- a YA fantasy, with paranormal elements, a touch of fate, drama, angst, fairy godmothers, magic, adventure, romance, mystery, secrets, a plot for revenge, danger, agendas, and interesting quirky characters. This story might pick up from the previous book, Ashes- but we ‘follow’ different MC’s, so it could be read as a standalone if you wanted. But having said that, knowing what happened in the first book will definitely enhance your appreciation of the characters, story, and series. So, join Lily and George on their ‘adventure’ – especially if you love a great YA fantasy, fairytale retellings, several intriguing threads, multiple Pov’s, and an overall cute story. If this sounds like your jam, then you will definitely want to add this to your reading list. Happy reading…

What an interesting book! Maddy is a 17 year old girl who always follows the rules. Always. All of them. Her grandmother gives her a DNA test for her 17th birthday. She’s less than excited about it. If she’s not adopted, why should she care where she came from? Her mom finally has to threaten making her stay home from a football game to get her to actually take the test. When they get the results back it says she’s one quarter villain! But she’s the good girl! When her best friend goes missing, she is thrown into a world of adventure she never expected. Can villains have a happy ending? Definitely grab this book and find out!! It’s not your typical fairy tale story and I loved it!

This was such a fun book. The main character faces a challenge all teens face around the age of 17, an identity crisis. Not knowing exactly who she is, what she wants, or where she belongs. This book takes this concept to a fun level where it is understandable for all. Read this book if you like a coming of age novel, magic, and friendship.

I hadn’t read a book by this author before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The cover caught my eye immediately, and once I read the synopsis, I knew I had to pick it up. Everything about it seemed to intrigue me, so I got home and dove right in. This author made my watch list in just one book! Their ability to create such an imaginative world with amazingly detailed features is incredible! The characters are relatable, unique, and very well developed. Will Maddie be able to save her best friend while dealing with a sort of existential crisis? I will give zero spoilers! I blew through this entire book in one day because it was absolutely addictive. This definitely should be at the top of any YA/fantasy reader’s list because it is unbelievably captivating. I highly recommend this book as it allows you to escape to another world and experience what’s happening instead of just reading on the sidelines.
