TEAR YOU APART

YALSA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers

“Twisting together the tales of Snow White and Rumpelstiltskin—with a dash of Romeo and Juliet and Hades and Persephone—this fantastical mash-up is full of angst, star-crossed romance, and magic.” —Booklist

“Cross keeps readers guessing as she unfolds her mashup, bringing the German Märchen versions into the story with satisfyingly gruesome effect. A fan-pleasing combination of fairy tale and thriller.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Cross deftly takes the all-too-familiar Disney fairy tale tropes (fair maiden, handsome prince) and turns them on their heads. . . . A great read for fans of the television show, Once Upon A Time.” —School Library Journal
