This was a very scary Alice retelling. She’s scary, her love interest is terrifying, lots of people die in this! It’s more horror than I like in my stories but it was a great storytelling in that I could not put it down. Your familiar characters are all really evil. Definitely a good book if you like horror and fables.

2.5

Very gruesome book that has barely anything to do with the original Alice in wonderland story. 

The book is so gruesome that often I got actually sick from how specific things were described 


The writing however is great and the ending sentence was enjoyable. Thus a 2.5 star.
