Or I guess, my life has been one dark turn after another. But this has got to take the freaking cake. Alone and heartbroken on a romantic weekend I’d planned for my cheating boyfriend, I stumble into a new world. A world where my hair is as long as Rapunzel’s and I’m trapped in a goddamn tower.
There are talking birds, shifters, plants that want to kill me, a curse over the land and an Evil Queen (capital E, capital Q) holding the people hostage and viciously murdering anyone she thinks might be a threat to her crown.
Everyone has been waiting for a princess to save them.
And they seem to think that I might be up for the job.
I hate to disappoint, but I’m an orphan raised in foster care, who swears too much to be polite, prefers Doc Martens to glass slippers, and am in no way a waifish pretty princess.
Once Upon a Dark Turn is a 124K word full length novel. Includes foul language and sexual scenes; any sex featured is consensual. This is a Why choose? novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This book ends on a cliff hanger.
