Tear You Apart

Tear You Apart by Sarah Cross
EgmontUSA/January 2015
Goodreads
An edgy fairy tale retelling of “Snow White” set in the world of “Kill Me Softly” for fans of “Once Upon a Time” and “Grimm.”
Viv knows there’s no escaping her fairy tale curse. One day her beautiful stepmother will feed her a poisoned apple or shove a poisoned comb into her scalp or hire her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Henley, to hunt her down and rip out her heart before she breaks his. In the city of Beau Rivage, no matter how much you fight it, your marchen mark is your destiny.
Yet, when Viv receives an invitation to the swank underground club where the Twelve Princesses escape to dance each night, she thinks she might have found a loophole to her date with death. There she meets Jasper, the thirteenth prince. “Her” prince. The prince that is destined to save her when her curse comes to call.
But constant nights of partying get old fast. The royal family is ruled with an iron fist by their patriarch, who gloats over the fact that no one can challenge him without his name. And Viv doesn’t love Jasper (in fact, she kind of loathes him) and she doesn’t want to be an underworld queen–it’s a living death.
So when Henley finds his entry into the underworld as a champion set to solve the secret of the Twelve Dancing Princesses in order to save her, Viv takes the rules of fairy tales into her own hands. No matter her curse, no matter her fate, she can’t lose the only boy who’s ever had her heart.
Sarah Cross rewrites the fate of Snow White in her smart, edgy follow-up to her acclaimed” Kill Me Softly.”
