I'm sorry but I gave up after getting more than halfway through, and I only kept reading because I hate to abandon the book. Alice herself has all the personality of a wet paper bag. She lovingly follows an axe murderer, the only male character who isn't a rapist or sex trafficker, around a dark, gritty city which may or may not lead to answers to questions about things that I'm not even sure about or really care to know. The idea of Wonderland as a nightmare of sexual horror is unfortunately, not an original one, and not executed with an interesting story, fleshed out characters, or remarkable writing. There are major inconsistencies and flat, one dimensional storytelling void of any redeeming insight. I feel bad saying all this, but I was genuinely turned off by nearly everything about this book.

Creepy and dark, and probably up my alley. Just not for right now. Maybe a good spooky season book?
While I have renewed this a few times, at this point I think I have to give it back to the library.

I’m going to start this by saying that SA is a big theme in this book. Nothing extremely graphic, but something to be aware of before you read it.
That said, I loved this book. I wasn’t sure with the first few chapters, but it kept me guessing, and by the final half I couldn’t put it down.
