Tear You Apart by Sarah Cross
4.0
I found this one after pages of searching for something to read. And I had to stop myself from screaming when I saw this one. When I saw that this book was approved and I was able to read it, my jaw dropped, my phone fell, and I shouted to the heavens in joy.
I read the first book in this series (Kill Me Softly) quite a while ago. However, when I saw this one, I was so excited. This book was awesome! I had forgotten a bit of the first one, but Tear You Apart takes place after, and follows different characters. I recommend reading Kill Me Softly first, but it is not absolutely necessary. This tale continues the fated curses of the people of Beau Rivage. Viv is cursed with a snow white curse, and everyone knows about it.
I loved Viv as a character. She was frustrating at times (mainly interacting with Henley) but her curse sucked, and I felt for her. The relationship she had with Henley was kinda like every teenage relationship ever, but with a delicious twist. Viv has been best friends with Henley, and loves him, but he was cursed as her Huntsman.
Henley sounds pretty hot, like a lumberjack but with a heart only for Viv. Viv's stepmother was exceedingly creepy with Henley, but he did the best he could. Henley was a hero in my opinion. All throughout the book. He had a lot of shit to deal with, and there Viv went just messing it all up.
I liked the fairy tales that were intertwined in this story. There were some new ones that I hadn't heard of, but they always had that twist that allowed them to deviate slightly from the original, but still be true. This book definitely had some of the gruesomeness that the original fairy tales had, which I thought was refreshing.
