Excerpts Virtual Book Tours

#TwistedFairytaleConfessions by @sarahjpepper virtual World Book Tour, May 10-23. #NewAdult

Please note: this post contains mature themes. 
First there was Death of the Mad Hatter
 
Heads would Roll… Hearts would Break… In the end, would it matter who Reigned?
 
Then there was Locks: Rapunzel Unhinged
 
Even though most girls wouldn’t fall for their captors, Rapunzel isn’t like most dames… Yet in spite of his appeal, Rapunzel must escape before she’s locked away in the Château de Immortelle’s highest tower—forever.
 
Now there’s Snow White Lies
 
Evil poisons everyone. Period. Our mouths water when we sink our teeth into what we have always craved. Surrendering to our desires by biting off delectable piece of the forbidden fruit is nothing more than a meager confession: Poison tastes sinfully sweet,”—Confessions of the Big Apple Debutante, by blogger Miss Snow White.
 
The Huntsman gently lifted her into his arms and kissed her softly on the lips. The residue of the apple was still fresh on her lips. When he pulled away, she gasped like she was drowning. He may never recall their memories, but he knew of her, what he’d read, what Lietz had told him about her. He’d cared enough about her that he’d given up pieces of himself to save her. That the Seven and the Queen wanted her dead deemed her significant enough to save.
 
He whispered her name. Her eyes fluttered open. They were as icy blue as the flickering images in his memories. When she saw him, she smiled in a way that didn’t reach her eyes. She reached up and cupped his face in her hands. Staring at his mouth, she traced her thumb over his bottom lip. The longing for his kiss was obvious in her stare. Her aspiration was eloquently familiar. She had cared for him once—all of him. Covered in evil filth, she looked upon him and found him worthy of her love.
 
Then all the adoration and desire vanished with a blink of an eye. Disdain replaced craving in her gaze. Yet, she still looked upon him with a sick sense of hunger.
 
“I hadn’t expected your weapon of choice to be poison,” she said and licked her blood-stained lips.

Sarah J. Pepper
I specialize in dark, paranormal romance – think “happy ever after” but with a twisted, dark chocolate center. Real-life romance isn’t only filled with hugs, kisses, unicorns, and rainbows. True-love can be more thoroughly described in times of darkness and tribulation. It’s in those harsh moments where you see what a person is truly capable of – both the good and bad. Sometimes prince-charming isn’t always on time, and the glass slipper is a little snug. However, it doesn’t mean Charming is not Mr. Right, and who says every shoe is the perfect fit?

The Blurb
In the future, will all the petty problems of everyday life be fixed or will it all go down the tubes? Giovanni and Mira can’t really say since they are too busy fighting the ongoing battle between good and evil in order to save the world- fixing it will simply have to wait.

Sometime in the fairly distant future, Giovanni and Mira are enjoying a life together but they are living no fairytale. When tragedy strikes in a way Giovanni is not prepared to deal with, he will have to decide whether life amongst the humans is worth fighting for or leave it all behind to seek a righteous calling.

Giovanni, along with a new ensemble of half-breed comrades and human companions, head into battle to face Marcos, his greatest foe. Blood, bone, and ash will be left on the battleground and the world will never be the same.
