Beau Rivage Series: Tear You Apart by Sarah Cross

Goodreads Blurb for Tear You Apart:

If you want to live happily ever after, first you have to stay alive. Viv knows there's no escaping her fairy-tale curse. One day her beautiful stepmother will feed her a poison apple or convince her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Henley, to hunt her down and cut out her heart before she breaks his. In the city of Beau Rivage, some princesses are destined to be prey.

But then Viv receives an invitation to the exclusive club where the Twelve Dancing Princesses twirl away their nights. There she meets Jasper, an underworld prince who seems to have everything—but what he really wants is her. He vows to save her from her dark fate if she'll join him and be his queen.

All Viv has to do is tear herself away from the huntsman boy who still holds her heart. Then she might live to see if happily ever after is a promise the prince can keep. But is life as an underworld queen worth sacrificing the true love that might kill her?

My thoughts: What I like about this book is that it is not a continuation of Kill Me Softly. The story takes place in the same town but with different characters who know of each other but don’t play a major role in each other’s story. This story will keep you guessing until the end on who is who and what will happen next. I believe there is to be a third book but there was an unfortunate issue with the original publishers and Sarah Cross’s new publisher have yet to give her the green light for book 3.
