This was entertaining, but not my favorite from the author. It is very dark with more disturbing things happening to the heroine than I liked. I wished the hero protected her better and prevented certain things rather than waiting until after things happened.

I love this retelling of Alice in Wonderland with a witty and original twist. Plus, it makes sense considering that I've become incredibly fond of Tiffany Roberts' books lately (or at least the ones I've read so far).
I found the use they made of both the original story and the world and characters creative, giving them both a fresh, new and unique feel. Despite this, some scenes seemed to me to be too fast or too long. But it is compensated by the mystery and the progress of the protagonists' relationship.
In conclusion, excellent storytelling is accompanied by an original and creative world, a perfect amount of spice at the right moments and lovable characters with ideal chemistry.
