The Afterlife Experiment by Sam Weiss
5.0
I am part of a book tour through Black Tide Book Tours for this book, but my review is my own honest opinion.
Uhm...WOW. I'm speechless. I'll see if I can try to form coherent thoughts to express how much I absolutely loved this book.
Take the topsy turvy world of Alice in Wonderland, sprinkle in the horrific dread of Coraline and Grimms' version of Snow White, and smash it all into a scifi fantasy horror. That's what this book is like. We are taken through a twisted journey so out of this world that you'll be questioning what's real and what isn't, at the same time Atra is questioning the same thing.
It gets confusing at times, but if you've read the bizarreness of books like Alice in Wonderland, you'll be prepared enough to keep reading until things start to make sense. I was here for the jarring ride, honestly.
From start to finish, I was at the edge of my seat, biting at my nails, thanks to the building anxiety and tension. And it really doesn't let up until the very end. And this is going to be a series?! I'm here for it! I want the second book like right now. Thankfully no cliffhangers, so I'm not screaming until the second book comes out.
