Summary

This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of Underland, as well as a girl’s pangs of first love and independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers - precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.

When her mother’s mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice’s tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice’s mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.

“Tearing down the rest of the world won't make you happy. Look inside yourself. Because finding who you were meant to be? What you were put into this world to do? That's what fills the emptiness. It's the only things that can.”

This book will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions.

This book is set around the world of Alice in Wonderland but not as a direct retelling. The MC Alyssa is a descendant of Alice and has to travel to Wonderland to break a curse put on her family.

As you’d expect from a Wonderland based story it’s completely mind boggling, dark, twisty, grotesque, completely mad, full of suspense, mystery and it’ll leave you guessing right until the very end.

The emotions I went through. Who to trust. What to expect. Thinking I know what’s happening but being completely wrong.. AG Howard really put me through it.

Despite the actions of certain characters I just couldn’t help but fall in love.

Alyssa is a new favourite MC for me, I love her character growth and how strong she becomes throughout the book.

I listened to the audio of this, read by Rebecca Gibel and I genuinely loved it. I’ll continue the series on audio for sure.

If you want something mad and wonderful with a touch of romance then I highly recommend this book.

“No one knows what he or she is capable of until things are at their darkest.”

What a brilliant book and I was shocked to find out at the end that this was the first book ever written by A. G. Howard. It's beautifully written and such an easy read. I really couldn't put it down at all. Good news is i can now jump onto the next book.

Definitely recommend this book, along with the audio too.

This book is narrated by Rebecca Gibel and yet to listen to her when she does the character voices, you d actually believe that there must be a dozen or so different people!!

She literally does a different voice for all the characters in the book and not once does she repeat it for another one. She has an amazing talent and I'm seriously shocked that I've never come across her before today!!

This is one narrator who should have authors lining up to have her read their books and bring their characters to life!! This young and exceptionally talented lady has become my top no 1 for narration.

So at the very least, if the choice is book or audio, for the first time ever i say grab the audio....

However, if you can get both, then definitely do so and enjoy!!

Wonderland, wonderful!!

This was a much darker and twistier Wonderland than usual. The ending was very unexpected.

Took a while to get into the book but once I did I got hooked. All I’m gonna say is wish I had a Morpheus is my own - I literally feel in love with him. Jeb? Meh too boring not enough action or fight.

Then again who doesn’t love a bad boy who’s passionate?
