    About this ebook

    Scarlet Church is your typical teenage girl, just kickin' it in the city and helping out with the family business. Of course, when your mama is the best witch in Minneapolis, that's not exactly business as usual! So when Mama asks her to take a potion to her grandma, Scarlet has to be ready for anything. Can she avoid a run-in with a werewolf—or worse, with handsome werewolf hunter Cisco Jones? A modern Red Riding Hood keeps a dangerous family secret in this delicious YA twist on a classic.
