Crimson Bound: Rosamund Hodge

When Rachelle was fifteen she was good—apprenticed to her aunt and in training to protect her village from dark magic. But she was also reckless— straying from the forest path in search of a way to free her world from the threat of eternal darkness. After an illicit meeting goes dreadfully wrong, Rachelle is forced to make a terrible choice that binds her to the very evil she had hoped to defeat.

Three years later, Rachelle has given her life to serving the realm, fighting deadly creatures in an effort to atone. When the king orders her to guard his son Armand—the man she hates most—Rachelle forces Armand to help her find the legendary sword that might save their world. As the two become unexpected allies, they uncover far-reaching conspiracies, hidden magic, and a love that may be their undoing. In a palace built on unbelievable wealth and dangerous secrets, can Rachelle discover the truth and stop the fall of endless night?

Inspired by the classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, Crimson Bound is an exhilarating tale of darkness, love, and redemption.

So I got this book for free from EpicReads for doing a survey and I was kind of skeptical about reading it, considering I didn't like her other book, Cruel Beauty.<---hover here But since I got the book for free I decided to give a go.... Boy was that a mistake.
So lets begin, this is supposed to be a inspired by Little Red Riding Hood... And I don't see how because it was just nonsense. The story starts with Rachelle as a child who lives in the woods with her grandmother. They're the local witches and Rachelle is training to be the next witch. Little Rachelle wants to do more in life, she want's to fight the bad guys, she wants to actively do something and make her mark on the world. honestly same She has the chance when she meets one of these evil dudes I promise I read the book and she's intruigued by him obviously and she keeps coming back to him and she's trying to act all tough and be like "You don't scare me." When one day her adventure goes wrong and he attacks her, and marks her. Which now means she has to either kill someone or die. She ends of killing her grandmother and thus begins the real story. This beginning was so interesting that I just had to continue.... But that's when the disappointment began.
Honestly from here it's just one mindfuck after another. The story was not well thought out and it was extremely confusing. Everything that happened in the second part was so utterly confusing that it just ruined the somewhat good plot.  It started going back and forth in points of view about some random ass character, who you later find out is the one who started this whole thing way back when. And we find out we have to find this sword to kill the demon king dude and find the portal to the other world classic.
We find out her one demon friend was the one who turned her evil and that he's actually in love with her. She fights him off and wins and continues on her quest to kill the demon king. And then she finds out that the magic her grandmother taught her was how to defeat the king and the needle that was actually the sword the whole time! great She sacrifices herself and wins and through that sacrifice becomes human again. cool 
Throughout this quest she fell in love with her hand-less charge and so they end up together, happily ever after. 
Great. I just did not like this book at all, it was boring and uninspiring. The characters were all pretty mediocre and the whole part where we were jumping back and forth was just so confusing I had to reread it multiple times to understand what was going on.
Honestly this is an aquired taste, if you like it awesome! If you don't, join the club 
Anyway 
Until next time readers <3
