This may become a very long review, so I will briefly sum up my opinion of this book by saying that the author has great ideas, but poor execution in the actual writing.Basically, the story is a fantastic play on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that is very creative and well researched, tying in hi...
Awesomely morbid spin on the Alice in Wonderland story line. The Cheshire Cat is going around on a murder spree while it's up to Alice and "Pillar the Killer" to stop him. I loved all the little tidbits of info Jace included about Lewis Carrol into the novel. Can't wait to read more of the series!

Alice in wonderland is one of my favorite stories. i absolutely love it, So I grabbed this book when i saw it plus the cover is really pret...
This book had all kinds of unmet potential. I love retellings of classics, especially Alice in Wonderland, so when I saw this I knew I had to give it a whirl. The twists given to the modern story are very creative, and I loved the serial killer/asylum spin even though it has been done before. My iss...
I really enjoyed this book, would have prefered to have it set more in wonderland but the different take on the Alice story did work. All the characters seemed to fit in to the human world while retaining some wonderland qualitys. I think Alice needed a little more personality she just seemed to be ...
