Into the forest
This series is a bit of enigma to me. The cover sort of gives away the idea that the reader is getting into a gratuitously sexual version of the fairy tale, but then once inside the story actually deals with a more reasonable portrayal of the pressure put on a young woman to lose her virginity and the threat of date rape. For some reason I have stuck in my head the men that buy a CD from Britney or Christina because they liked the picture on the CD but then not as much the inside. Not to say that men would not like this issue but that it maybe hits a chord with female readership more directly. The story as it told parallels both the problems of a contemporary girl and that of Little Red Riding Hood, and does so in a fairly effective manner. Of course the premise behind this series is partially that the stories are really true, but even looking at that from outside the medium, this is still a pretty decent way to start a series.
