Maddie by Amber R. Duell, Candace Robinson
5.0
I absolutely loved this novel, in my opinion it's the best story using the well known characters from Alice In Wonderland and putting a marvellous twist on them.
Both Authors have created a unique twist on Wonderland with Vampires and Werewolves. The writing and world building as well as the character building were excellent in propelling me into a Wonderland but not as I knew it.
The adventures and twists that our characters found themselves in were perfect for the story. I kept turning the pages just to find out what would happen to our quirky Mad Hatter.
I loved the character Maddie, she had a flare to her that was both unique, witty and sarcastic. Hatpin anyone? (loved her brutality with hatpins)
She had an ultimate goal and she wasn't gonna let anything stand in the way, she had a fierce loyalty to her for better or worse.
The relationship between Maddie and Ferris I really liked, I wasn't surprised by their background info and I could tell there was an unspoken oath between them both, no matter would happen.
Mouse for me was just a background character, we only know a little about her, which i felt was odd as she was the main reason for the whole rescue mission. Though I do think I will find out more about her as her character develops as the series continues.
I actually loved all of the characters. There wasn't one that wasn't pointless they all interlinked and brought the story together.
I love the addition of Noah and I suspect we haven't seen the last of Alice.
Overall I felt like this was an excellent start to the series and I can't wait for the second book; Chess to come out!
