Red Riding Hood isn’t so little anymore...

Scarlett Hunter grew up knowing her mission in life: to kill monsters, protect the innocent, and one day follow in her grandmother’s footsteps as the leader of her family’s coven. So when her prettier, smarter, tougher cousin is given the leadership of the Crimson Daggers, Scarlett no longer knows how she fits into her world.

Until, that is, a pack of werewolves kidnaps her grandmother. Now Scarlett has the chance to save her family and kick some Big Bad Wolf ass. But blood ties can’t always be trusted, and monsters aren’t always what they seem.

Dagger is the first book in a new urban fantasy trilogy set in Emma Savant’s larger Glimmers universe. If you’re looking for magic, werewolves, and a kickass heroine who knows how to get things done, scroll up and grab your copy today!

I came across this book while looking for inspiration for a cosplay look for an event. I thoroughly enjoyed this new to me world and Scarlett gave me great ideas about being a kickass Dagger. I can't wait to read the next two books. If you're in the mood for a strong female lead that sometimes makes mistakes but does the best she can, I recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2019
Dagger was a good read. I loved Scarlet and thought her insecurities only made her stronger in the end. Grandma Nelly was a good character and I liked her spunk. Brendan and Alec were interesting and I'm looking forward to see where the story goes in book 2. I'm not that sure about Sienna, her actions stunned me and I believe she will be causing more trouble down the road.

I give Dagger 4 stars for its interesting read.
I would recommend this book to Fantasy Fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting new take on Red Riding Hood!
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2019
The Glimmering World has become my new favorite place to hang out. This is the first book I have read set in the Glimmering World and I will definitely be going to see what I missed in the other books Emma Savant has released before Dagger. The back story and genealogy of the Crimson Daggers provide an exciting new prospective on the childhood classic Red Riding Hood. Scarlett is a strong lead, who displays amazing personal growth throughout the story. As I was waiting for the standard "woodsman" to ride in and save the day and thought perhaps I knew who that would be, Savant wove the tale in such a way to reaffirm to me that the heroine in the story does not always need a man to ride in and save the day. Quite the opposite with this tale, as Scarlett comes from a long line of strong women who stand on their own. The individual I had pegged for the woodsman turned out to be anything but, however I truly enjoy his character as well and cannot wait to see what is in store for him and our favorite new Crimson Dagger in the future. *Disclaimer: I was provided an advanced copy by the author.

The book cover looked awesome and the story summary sounded my kind of book but this was a hard read for me. Two words
to sum up this book: boring with no romance. The writing style was written in narrative and telling style. I couldn't connect with the characters and didn't care for the weak/insecure mc. I passed on this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Refreshing take on a classic tale
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2019
I loved the twists the author put on this classic tale-the idea to make Scarlett a monster fighter and her grandmother a bad-ass instead of helpless at the start of the book was refreshing and kept me wanting to turn pages. Obviously there had to be a wolf in the story and the author's decision to take it in the direction she did was an interesting one. I look forward to reading the rest of this series and diving into the author's other works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and Fun Series
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019
I enjoyed this book. It had great balance throughout the book. I have not read any of the Glimmer World books but this novel had enough backstory and world building that it did not matter. The plot was interesting and a good spin on the paranormal world. I loved the main character Scarlett. She was a real person who acted like a young adult. She wasn't perfect, she had flaws and she showed the necessary growth for the novel. Her grandma, Nelly, was interesting and I felt we got a good read on her. The two male side characters were fun and well rounded. The rest of the character could have used more description and personality but most of them were background characters. I do wish her cousin Sienna was given more book time. She was a little too stereotypical, especially by the end. If the author's other books are as much fun, I want to check them out. I definitely recommend and I can't wait to read the next in the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Exciting. Creative. Unique. but not my cuppa tea
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2019
Ms. Savant writes a very exciting story. Don't start reading before bedtime, you won't get any sleep.

This is a very creative tale and a unique take on the red riding hood story.

There are a few elements which I personally didn't care for, though it may not effect others enjoyment of the story. There is a character introduced early on who, though may not be a bully in the classic sense, is a bully in my eyes. And I HATE bullies. I really have a problem reading stories with bullies in them unless the protagonist can nullify the bully at every turn.

Also, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a grammar nazi. And Ms. Savant is in desperate need of better proofreaders. The errors aren't overwhelming. You can definitely fill in the dropped or incorrect word(s) & get what she means. They were jut a few more than I care to deal with.

That said. If you don't have my hangups about bullies or grammar, I think you may really enjoy this book.
