My, My, My, how sweet you are...
____________

Roxley Grove has always whispered with an eerie mystery, a town where ancient trees loom and leaves crawl amongst the secrets entwined with the earth. For over four decades, those secrets have been left dormant beneath the surface... laid to rest amongst the growing history of those disturbed. Perhaps, the time has come for them to finally unearth themselves...

Upon graduating high school, Ruby Blanchette craves the company of her only living relative... her grandma. However, this means moving back to Roxley Grove... the place that haunts her nights with more nightmares than dreams.

Ruby didn't fear Roxley... it's apparent that was her first mistake. She wasn't afraid of the dark sprawling woods encircling the town, or the new and unfamiliar chapter she was about to start at college. She definitely didn't fear the answers she was searching for... although it seems she should have. 

Maybe unearthing them wasn't such a good idea, especially as Roxley Grove continued to reveal reflections nothing like she remembered... in fact nothing is as it seems and she begins to wonder if she had been looking in the right direction, been gazing into the wrong eyes when she should have been turning her gaze inward and seeking the truth within herself. 

Perhaps it's was Ruby's turn to look into her own reflection?

____________

A little red riding hood retelling full of stomach churning twits, heart racing love and perhaps morally wrong characters... it's up to you to decide.
