My thoughts from the first book are still valid and honestly it was just the same things over and over again in this book. But like a dumbass, im gonna read the third book🤡🤡
There are so many negative connotations about mental health from Kylie that I honestly considered DNFing but im a really curious person and now I want to know if what I think happened at the end is true.
Also why am I considering reading the other trilogy?🤡 Like I said in my other review, I havent read the Gods and Monsters series -which is why I don't get whats so special about Janie. In these 2 books I personally don't see it. She's portrayed to be a very strong yet fragile person and all I've seen is Janie being fragile.
As for Kylie, why is she portrayed to be such an evil and selfish character if she's supposed to be the MC?

I used to love this in high school when it was first published on Wattpad. As I reread it, the second book in the series just seems to blend certain elements that I think take away from the goal of the story.
For starters, I do not think Kylie is a main character. The author writes about her as if she is the narrator who happens to be tied into the story, but the story is not necessarily about her. Where is her growth? Where is her development? Where is her self-awareness? I understand that Kylie has a lot of things to work out and a load of mental health issues that need addressed, but this book did not do anything to highlight that in a positive way. Instead, the author goes on to praise the "actual" main character, Janie. If we are being honest, I actually began to read the story more for Janie, and less for Kylie.
I wanted to like the side characters, but if truthfully, Logan is the only noteworthy character. I also feel like it would have been beneficial for Kylie to have a friend of some sort. Most of her character flaws were highlighted by people who did not like her, so it would have been nice to get a perspective from someone who did, other than Logan.
Ryder is the worst character in history, but in the best way. I think the author does a great job of giving him this unlikable element that not only is disliked by Kylie and Logan, but the reader as well. The only thing I wish could have been improved, was his lack of empathy for anyone but Janie. Like, huh? How unrealistic is it that one woman can make a man "feel something". I wish we had more layers to him. It's almost like he was there solely to upstage Logan. I feel like if we could understand why he doesn't like other people, than I would have been able to sympathize with his unrealistic hatred for literally everyone.
Overall, it was not a bad read, but if i pick up a book with a promised main character, then I really would like to follow their journey and not someone else's journey through their words.

What a rollercoaster - I absolutely loved it!
Little Hood and her Wolf is the second book in Janie Marie’s YA coming-of-age Big Bad Wolf trilogy. In this book, we see Kylie and Logan try to continue their relationship as Kylie is pulled further into his life with the Godsons.
I loved how literally every character makes very serious mistakes and faced very serious consequences for those mistakes. Characters facing real, serious consequences is sometimes hard to come by in fiction, I find, so I really did love that about this book. It also made for a LOT of drama, which was great because I never wanted to put it down. All I wanted was to see what would happen next, so it really kept me on my toes. I absolutely cannot wait for Book 3 to see how it all ends!
I also think the fairy tales were incorporated into this book as well as, if not better than, the first, which was really exciting. The worldbuilding happens slowly and steadily, but fast enough that you’re never left wondering what fits where. I especially loved finding out how the fairy tales were woven into the Big Bad Wolf world itself (Hint: the moon!), which is something we didn’t get to see much of in Book 1.
I still recommend this series to any reader interested in YA, fairy tale adaptations, romance (particularly messy romance lol) and coming of age. Also, any reader who loves drama because this book is definitely for you! I wouldn’t read this book without reading Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? (Book 1) first.

Okay so this is quite hard to review. I ended up liking this but only for the last chapter.
I'm now certain this series is just a continuation of the G&M books as the majority of the secrets and all things hidden relate to Janie and her boyfiend and their secrets.
Kylie and Logan are just here to tell another story, so a lot is hidden as we only ge glimpses that something is wrong with Kylie.
Speaking of Kylie, she is seriously broken, a teen who is so insecure about herself that the jealously flows off the page, and certainly no empathy, and for someone who was physically abused, you would think she would show something. However what we get is a woman who is wrapped up in her head, one who wants Logan for herself and could care less about anyone else, r anything else.
So no, I don't like Kylie and i also don't much like Logan. However the last part of this books brings up a few questions and i'm now sucked in to getting some answers and will read the conclusion of this series when it's released.

Loved this when I was younger, and maybe because I was young and naïve but now no. The first one I read for nostalgia and reading this just seemed like the next thing to do but honestly both books aren't great. Maybe my memory fuzzed some details to make me remember it fondly, but how I wished I had left it as a memory only. It comes off as Kylie is just a pawn to tell Janie's story, which is fine but then it focuses a little unnecessarily on Kylies life. Kylie is unempathetic and honestly way to oblivious she very clearly needs medical health both physically and mentally and there was a great opportunity to showcase how to find self love and heal yourself but the author missed it. I can make myself do a lot of theses but finishing this series won't be one of them.

Elise deserved better. I’m not sure why the author would take us through Kylie’s journey, only to stick Elise in the dark hole Kylie was once in. Tercero can go jump off a cliff. I really don’t like how he’s playing house Elise while lusting after Janie, and everyone is just ok with this because Janie wants him. And Elise was kind to everyone so why would they walk all over her like this? Including Kylie?? Kylie should be the one person in Elise’s corner, but she’s too far up Janie Marie’s—sorry, I meant the main character Janie who is coincidentally named after the author’s—asshole 😒

Hard DNF - hated this one
May 4, 2024
[Disclaimer this are the notes I wrote will actively reading the book and I haven’t read the GoM series that seems to be tied to this series]
—————————————————————————————
Chapter #1-#4: The mysteries are really building up even from the start. Janie being a murder is the turn I wasn’t expecting and fear lordddddd. What’s with all the mystery around Luc too? The whole “Logan is putting you first” has me thinking with no answers too. Also the baby?!?! It’s totally Logan’s I bet. The first few chapters do awesome at setting up and reminding you of the mysteries of the first book. Maybe it’s because I relate but during the start I like how Janie’s disorders are presented. I totally understand the ‘highs before the lows’ feeling and loved that it was mentioned, even if it was lightly. Logan’s attention starts to be making sense too and is more than “heartbroken ex” then before which I’m a bit happy about. I also enjoyed the little tease of Logan’s history, even if I’m a tad pissed there wasn’t more shown in so far.
Chapter #5-#8: Kylie could be waaaaaay more understanding of the whole murder/rape situation. Like a lot more understanding. Any reasonable person would be overly protective/devastated of/for the ones they love in that situation, regardless of relationship/state of relationship/feelings. I will say I am glad we got to see Janie comfort Kylie and slightly humble her about her not being the only one dealing with shit; given I see both sides of this situation. Trevor is a little bitch, have hated him from the beginning, only growing more hatred. Even though I caught on to the cheating being a set up pretty quickly, it was still a shitty situation. Could have come up with a better situation if they would have thought about it longer. Really pissed about Logan’s fallen angel dedication tattoo. That’s going too far even for me. Chapter eight just completely pissed me off.
Chapter #9-#12: I adore the fact that Logan said “I love you” first, even if it was a little quick. It’s weird - and a little uncomfortable - to remember this has all happened in like one to two weeks. I also like that it’s starting to show bimps of Kylie’s past. I can’t wait to figure out what the deal with her parents, their death, and her past is going to unravel into. During Kylie and Ryder’s discussion I think they’re both being unfair but also making good points. Kylie’s jealousy is understood (to a certain extent) as is Ryder’s points of Kylie not being the only one going through shit, not the only one traumatized/hurt, and not dealing with her jealousy well (if at all). Still pissed about Kylie’s thoughts about Janie’s rape and pissed about Ryder down playing Kylie’s abuse so much. I would be in bored with it if he would have pulled a “see how it feels?” moment but he didn’t so I’m still pissed. Also, the baby being Ryder’s is NOT what I thought was going to happen.
Chapter #13-#16: Kind of saw the Grimm’s being hit-man but kind of didn’t at the same time, you know? Still surprising though. I’m so happy we’re starting to get answers, even if they’re small answers. Trevor’s twist is not what I expected. I knew he was a dick but I didn’t know he was THAT bad. I’m hoping Kylie can see through the façade on her own but I doubt it. I’m so happy Kevin and Kylie finally got some bonding time. I’m pissed Kylie has to ruin it with her jealousy; again, I get where she’s coming from but at a certain point you have to step back and go ‘okay why am I feeling this? How do I keep from feeling this?’ and just question yourself. But again, I get Maura has abused her for so long and that adds an extra layer of understanding along with an extra layer to work through. I’m still with Logan on the whole ‘how didn’t you notice?’ fight though. A part of me (a big part) is happy Logan is willing to cut Janie from his life, and I know Kylie wouldn’t agree with it, but I think shit would work out if Logan and Janie had some boundaries with each other.
Again I was glad Logan was thinking of Kylie during THAT but then Janie had to ruin it with her lack of boundaries and Logan had to ruin it with his lack of control. As for the chapter end, “what the hell what the hell what the hell” was the only thing running through my mind. I knew a set up was coming but I didn’t think it was going to be that kind of set up or that Maura was trying (and possibly succeeding in the next book) at setting Logan up again. I was so happy when Ryder back Kylie up too, even if I know he only did it for Janie. It shows he’s not an ass all the time and has some humanity in him. Once again, Kylie’s jealousy pissed me off. At a certain point you gotta change shit up. Work on it yourself, talk it over with Logan, come to an agreement. Overall, she has three options: Figure it out, get on board, or leave already. I understand being in love with someone, but come on woman, get your shit together my guy.
Chapter #17-#20: I loooooved Kylie’s small bonding with Logan’s Dad. I think it was a nice show of a ‘I might choice Janie but I’m happy that my son is happy’ moment. Kylie’s small flicks of her mind were enjoyable. It focused on her issues a lot and definitely added more strings to the knot of the series mystery. Still pissed Kevin is playing dumb and still think Trevor is an asshole. I’m so happy with Kylie’s small growth during this space of time: Her comforting Logan was so sweet, her controlling her jealousy a bit, the picture frame moment, the ‘has anyone brought her Dr Pepper?’, the fucking understanding at the museum, “I’ll help you find her” YES. Fucking loved all of it (until it’s ruined later on in the book but we���re gonna live in the moments).
Kylie’s birthday celebrations were so cute. I loved them all. I loved her getting to feel loved, feeling important, feeling seen. I love Logan and Kylie’s love when they’re together so fucking much. Doesn’t excuse any of their bad behavior, decisions, or issues, but I still love it when I get to read it. The small dribbles of answers was so good too. I love answers to mysteries. The cemetery scene… I adored it. I hope to have a man love me and my family that much one day (minus all Logan’s major faults of course). I think it was good for Kylie too, the official marking of the start of her healing journey (hopefully). I’m so happy she’s starting to turn towards the better (again, only for the moment).
Chapter #21-#25: Fucking adoreddddd Logan making his stance and picking Kylie. Love that he’s finally getting his shit together and putting up boundaries, even if it’s not with Janie yet. Also glad there’s more littered answers, I love the solutions of mysteries. I also loved the continual bonding Kylie has with Logan’s Dad. I think he’ll make a good impact on her life and help the two navigate their relationship if given the choice. Again, loved her small character growth: Encouraging Logan to help Janie and doing a pretty good job at keeping her jealousy under control (at least at the start).
I’m also glad we got to see Ryder be less of a dick than usual. I don’t necessarily agree with his stab at Kylie not checking on Maura. Yes, she should have but at the same time I understand why she didn’t. Though, I see Ryder’s side too. She hadn’t even thought of Maura and again I kind of get it but kind of don’t too. It’s another ‘I can see both sides’ situation which seems to be Ryder’s specialty. So so so so happy we finally got the whole Logan/Janie story. Logan was a complete dick. Again, like I’ve said a thousand times, I understand his situation to an extent. His mom just died and he’s being thrusted into the adult world soon. It’s a stressful situation. It excuses some but no where near all his behaviors.
The aftermath of the explanation pissed me off beyond belief but there was a few other feelings sprinkled in. I’m start with I KNEW IT WAS LOGAN’S AND THAT HE WAS LYING. Second, I’m glad we got to see how in love and how much Ryder cherishes Janie. It was a nice layer to see of him. Now, as for Kylie… fuck dude. I get her being upset about the explanation but she focused on the wrong thing. If she would have focused on the fact that she was lied too - mostly by Logan but partly by the others - I would have 100% been on her side, but no. Again she has to focus on the wrong thing and hate on Janie who, besides not correcting her, didn’t do anything wrong. Be mad at Logan for lying. Once again, to reiterate, I understand Kylie being mad at the lack of boundaries Janie and Logan have, but when you boil it down close to 80% of her jealousy is misplaced anger with Logan and it pisses me off.
{Moral of the story, hate how Ryder is a dick but love how he loves Janie. I get Logan’s feelings about Janie and why he’s acting how he is; also happy he’s finally making and acting like Kylie is important to him. I wish Janie wasn’t such a huge part of the story and would have been better just to make her the main character if that’s the vibe the author wanted; I relate to her character a bit (in the trauma department) so I see too much of myself to truly hate her. Still think the story is too focused on her. Trevor is a dick, hate him, next question.
Maura is obviously hurting too and it’s hard to see her as a self-centered character in this book, even if it is just for show. Kevin makes me indifferent for the most part; sometimes I hate him, sometimes I can’t hate him. Kylie makes me feel a lot of different things; I understand her jealousy to a point but sometimes she just straight up pisses me off. I know she’s dealing with a lot of shit, is hurting a lot, and is finally finding her footing as a person. That shit takes time, but her self-centeredness, misplaced anger, lack of holding Logan accountable for his own actions/words, and over all jealousy at the wrong times piss me off, but again there’s moments I can see her side too.}

Maura is obviously hurting too and it’s hard to see her as a self-centered character in this book, even if it is just for show. Kevin makes me indifferent for the most part; sometimes I hate him, sometimes I can’t hate him. Kylie makes me feel a lot of different things; I understand her jealousy to a point but sometimes she just straight up pisses me off. I know she’s dealing with a lot of shit, is hurting a lot, and is finally finding her footing as a person. That shit takes time, but her self-centeredness, misplaced anger, lack of holding Logan accountable for his own actions/words, and over all jealousy at the wrong times piss me off, but again there’s moments I can see her side too.}

I'm not entirely sure that I liked this book. Whilst certainly unique and drama filled, it was extremely awkward to constantly read Logan and Kylie getting their asses handed to them - verbally and physically - especially by Ryder with is not so sweet, but always sour personality that I was not a fan of. If Logan was the hero in this tale, then he epically failed and while I'm guessing Kylie's selfish and egocentric personality is her role to play in this fairytale, it made it near impossible to want to pick up those poms poms and join her cheer squad. It is an intricate storyline and there are a lot of additional characters with their own fact sheet required and whether it's because I haven't read the other series or not, I sometimes found myself a little lost. Maybe my mistake was expecting this to be a romance instead of a somewhat paranormal drama

And she has done it AGAIN!
Can I just take a moment to heal my broken heart? This book will have you in tears, especially near the end, and I cannot wait to read book three.
Janie Marie has a way of twisting your soul all to hell and ripping your heart right out of your chest. But yet, this is another book that I kept coming back for more of.
There are a bunch of additions that I loved with every fiber of my being. Book three is going to be phenomenal. I already know it.

Eh
I try my best not to write bad reviews because writers work hard creating this new little world to enjoy... unfortunately I did not enjoy this one. so much whining, and back and forth complaining not really enough excitement in the story I was really hoping to enjoy this book like I did the first one but I didn’t ...

Honestly i started reading this book on wattpad a long time ago and remembered it existed a couple days go. It was entertaining but the whole concept of J having many men was kinda confusing 😂😂 i feel like if it was a genuine love story between Kylie and Logan i would’ve enjoyed it more. The story was entertaining. J was annoying tho

This book got three stars for me. I loved the first book, however this book got a bit to into the fantasy side of the story, and tended to lose me at points in the book. That being said, there was a major plot twist in this book that kept me hooked, and I am now reading the third and final book.

Okay so don’t come at me for this review. I LOVED this book for many reasons. It’s full of drama, angst, mystery, and action! The steam is rising and hot. I loved the history, mythologies, and the answers to many questions. I can understand the characters backgrounds a bit better and I finally see why so much loyalty is given to Janie. BUT that all being said, it’s also made me have an opinion of Kylie I didn’t expect to have. The total disdain, off putting, and visible hatred she has for Janie or literally anyone else is just heartbreaking. It frustrates me to no end to see just how ungrateful she is.
Look I get it, Kylie has her own trauma and stuff to get over, but to actually spew such vile opinions about one person who reached out to help her - no questions asked was just so hard to stomach.
This is a definite MUST read though. Again, the author, Janie won me over with her storyline and storytelling prowess. But yeah I’m NOT team Kylie.
Makes me wonder if Kylie Hood was a monster hiding in plain sight.

Absolutely Amazing!!!
A must read!!! You won't be able to put it down... I'm not really sure what to say without giving away any spoilers... In the beginning, before I got to know Kylie, I felt bad for her... but then I started realizing what she would say or how she would say things didn't add up with her story... I get that no one likes to have their ex in your life, but Janie is more than just his ex. She was not only his family first, but also one of Logans best friends... and Kylie is trying to make him get rid of her from his life... Kylie thinks that she should be the only one who gets all the attention... and it pains me to see how much she hates Janie, even after everything that she has done to help Kylie... but the truth always has a way of coming out... and people can always find the will to change their ways... I can't wait to read the next book to see what happens after this!!!!

Ugh! I honestly love emotional rollercoasters BUT most my emotions in this book were pure unadulterated hate.
I got so angry I threw my damn device and I am not sure if it is because I read G&M first so I know why Jane is special or because Janie Marie did sushi a great job at writing a character who is so flawed she only sees bad things when they happen to her.
I dont want to give too much away because I have read G&M and I see what Janie Marie is trying to portray but it was hard to see Kylie as anyone but her selfish self and not part of something greater.

Mind blowing!!
So many feelings right now. I want to say that the writing/ voice of the story is fantastic. Janie Marie has a way to make you feel every damn emotion when reading her stories and this book was no exception to that rule. So detailed, so heartbreaking, and so full of love and hate.
It's Grim. Dark. Painful and soul crushing but there is a reason for it all and I can't wait to see what it is. I'll be reading book 3 asap

God gave me eyes and I abused them. I’ve never hated a character more than I hate Kylie, sometimes wattpad books should just stay on wattpad instead of being published-
The amount of misogyny, romanticising of SH, and the female characters being the biggest enablers of bullsh*t is unreal… truly. Also the way the SA in this book is portrayed is problematic— the victim blaming, the invalidation of it all, and the way that Kylie is the biggest hater of women and the biggest misogynist makes me want to pick up a chair and smash it across her f*cking face, as that TikTok audio says. Anyways, one more book left before I can scream and smash my head against the wall.

Well that was a total mindwarp. So many more questions, and the mystery is all still there. I thought a few more things would be answered...and a few more people would be punched in the face, but now my brain as melted to one huge revelation and just more questions.
Wow.
That third book better come soon.

I remember when the first book came out on wattpad and everyone complained about how Janie was too frequent in the story and having every man lust after her was annoying. Nothing has changed since it’s been published that self insert character is still annoying kind of ruins the whole series when they focus on her instead of the main couple.

I enjoyed reading this book, you starting to get more answers and it does grip you, which is all signs of a good book as well as the author.

An amazing continuation of the book one. Logan and Kylie will have you screaming inside and then turn around wanting more. This book is amazing and will have you wanting more.

Not all is what it appears to be...

Number 2 is good although I feel it just isn’t as amazing a book 1
August 5, 2022
I swear your book 2 in both series…always make me have more questions than answers! But I know that means book 3 is going to be epic!

You know how drop towers sometimes go all the way up, then you fall halfway down, stay there for a bit, then go up and then you plummet all the way down. That is basically Kylies mental state through this book but if you do it three times in a row.
Because I've read this series before I know what happens and don't mind her horrible attitude quite as much as I did the first time I read this. I knew going in to this book that it would almost be painful get through because of Kylies outbusts and everything else she does, BUT I also think that that's what Janie (the author, not the character) wanted and it sets her up for the third book.
Because it is a new publication I thought there would be a little more changes from the last version, but I didn't detect anything major apart from in the end when Ryder tells Kylie about Logan and Janies breakup and I do think that the new way was better and more immersive, but what happend betwen them was the same. It has been a year since I read it last so I could have mised parts, but I think if it diverged from the old plot, I would have noticed.
