I like the layout a lot. The red background is a really pleasing color, and the banner is really cool looking. Good job with that.
The summary is good, as well. I would make the bit about it being an original fiction a smaller font, though, to show it's not as important as the rest of the summary.
I just read the first two chapters, since my story only had one chapter when we did the swap.
The first two paragraphs set against the second two, in the prologue, are a really great contrast. You think maybe, in the first two, it's someone in love with Red. But you see in the second do that it's someone dangerous who wishes her harm.
The last paragraph doesn't flow all that well. Maybe something more like, "I called her Red, and so that became her name because I wanted to splatter her rich blood on the pure white snow." Something more like that, flows better.
You paint a really gorgeous picture at the beginning of the second chapter. "Snow blanketed the world in a glittery, icy wonderland, frosting the tress with sugar..." Really great imagery, you do it over and over again. Superb.
It's a great mix of beautiful imagery set against intent of malice at the end of the chapter. I really enjoy it.
Over all, you're doing a really good job.
Wow! Thank you! That's such a compliment! You make me blush! Gosh... one of your favourites oh, I love you!

@ Psychotic Secrets
Thank you! I'm super glad you enjoyed it! I definitely try to stick in a few lines that just make you stop and go "wow, this guy is EFFED!"
@ wanderlust king
I love the detailed comment! Thanks for the bits of advice but regarding the writing of the last paragraph, I wrote it like that because I simply liked the sound of it. There are actually times throughout the story where Wolf has been quite choppy with words. I don't read it as not flowing smoothly, but rather setting a tone.
