This one was kind of boring for me. Not a very good climax either. It was very from point a to point b and then boom, the bad guys were dead. The antagonist had literally no real book time. She was there and then gone rather quickly. I'd prefer a little more conflict. 

This one felt more internally conflicted since Clemeny has some love interests involved and it's not all about work. But her internal dialogue is annoying. She knows what to do and just doesn't do it. 

If I critique anything in particular with this it would be the fighting is very one dimensional and resolved within a minute or two of reading, and... The amount of winking was over kill. It's cute at first but everyone winked, all the time.

This is book 4 in the Steampunk Red Riding Hood series. While each book is a short novella, it is an engaging story that keeps the reader picking up the next one. Clemmie is a red hood, and she has a feeling she may not be human, but that’s to worry about later. Right now, what she must worry about are the werewolves because they are out of control.  And while a certain leader of the pack makes her feel fuzzy, she starting to fall in love with Edwin, her boss. This book isn’t a love triangle, it’s seeing Clemeny grow into being more than just a lady. She’s a fighter, she is strong, and she wants the world to be a better place, and the reader wants to be with her for the adventure. The steampunk in this book is not as heavy as it is in the others, but it still has the reader picturing the styling of the movie, a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. There are only two books left in the series, and I don’t think it’s enough to give me the answers I am seeking. All it does is whet my appetite for more.
