This week: Scarlet Benoit, The Lunar Chronicles (book series)

Meet Scarlet. She flies her own spaceship. She fights off supernaturally enhanced soldiers. She's pretty much a more awesome version of Little Red Riding Hood.

From the book description: "Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother, or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother's whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana."

Side note: The Lunar Chronicles is a series I really enjoyed reading. If you like fairy tales merged with sci-fi and light romance, I definitely recommend it. Scarlet (the book focusing on Scarlet Benoit) is the second book in the series. Cinder is the first book. You can find more information on author Marissa Meyer's website.
