The author does a wonderful job of capturing the spirit of Lewis Carroll's wonderland in this Queen of Hearts origin story. While the reader knows how the book will end from the beginning, it is still interesting to explore the journey the protagonist takes to become the villainous Queen of Hearts.

I can't stop crying as I write this review, which I will have to keep short because if I went into detail and explained why I gave this novel the rating it has it would enter the spoiler zone. If you like forbidden love stories, a mystery that gets bigger with each chapter and an original and fresh world, I highly recommend this novel. Just make sure you have a box of Kleenex nearby. You'll thank me.
