Wicked Wonderland
by Eva Chase
Not to sound crude, but I got this book solely because it was supposed to be a Reverse Harem Alice in Wonderland retelling. WHERE IS THE RH?? IS THE RH IN THE ROOM WITH US?? She boinks one dude, makes out with another and by the end of the book, we’ve only grazed the ✨idea✨ of a non monogamous possibility.
It also gave me the ick a little bit that a potential love interest was also in love with her newly deceased great-aunt. TBF, it doesn’t sound like anything happened between them but any type of familial sloppy seconds (whether it’s physical or emotional), is probably where I draw the line. And I didn’t even know I had a line.
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate plot heavy, less boinking type of stories too. However, the characters just made no sense to me. Why is the mad-hatter not more… mad? How did anyone come to the conclusion that the responsibility of raising a whole child fell on him??
I love retellings, especially when the author brings a new element, new character development, but you have to at least stick to their original character presentations for that to happen.
Probably will not be continuing this series but may look into other titles by the author.
