Critics Review
I loved it! I was completely swept away by the world-building, the characters, and the delicate gorgeousness of the writing! A brilliant dark fantasy debut – Jodi Picoult
Drenched in atmosphere, with sharp and biting prose, Whitten’s For the Wolf is a glorious journey through woods deep and so very dark. A stunning debut – Erin Craig, author of HOUSE OF SALT AND SORROWS
A dark, dazzling reimagining of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ … Whitten lovingly weaves in elements from other fairy tales, including ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and ‘Snow White’, while crafting a story that is all her own. With clever, immersive prose and a subtle touch of horror, this is sure to enchant – PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
Atmospheric, folkloric and half-familiar. If you ever wished Beauty and the Beast had more eldritch forest monsters and political machinations, this is the romance for you – Alix E. Harrow, author of THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY
This hauntingly beautiful, fractured retelling of Little Red Riding Hood is dark, emotional and filled with tense action. Whitten’s debut is epic and enthralling – LIBRARY JOURNAL
An un-put-down-able fairy tale that traces the boundaries of duty, love, and loss. A masterful debut from a must-read new voice in fantasy – KIRKUS (starred review)
Weaves a magical spell – SFX
An enthralling fantasy debut that will leave readers eager for more … Hannah Whitten’s debut is a spellbinding fantasy novel that will appeal to readers who enjoy fairytale retellings, possibly doomed romance, ancient curses and bloodthirsty trees – SHELF AWARENESS
