Into Wonderland
By: R.L. Weeks
Neverland was built on the Fountain of Youth and Peter was its King of Hearts. Now that Snow is in charge, Neverland has warped into Wonderland, leaving everyone trapped in a never ending nightmare of madness.
Gallisa, the White Queen, is confined to her palace, leaving everyone without hope.
Alice has spent years searching her world for a way into Wonderland after receiving a letter from her sister, Wendy. When she finally steps through the mirror, she gets a lot more than she bargained for.

Review:
My love for
this book runs deep. Those of you who know me, know that I have an obsession
with Alice in Wonderland. I have multiple copies of my own with varying covers
and styles because I can’t help myself. I love the whimsy and madness that is
Wonderland! So needless to say, anything that plays on that amazing mess of a
story gets me right of the bat.
But, not all
plays on Wonderland deliver. I am over joyed when I say that this one
delivered!!
Into
Wonderland mixes and melds multiple fairytales into one amazing story that
starts in Neverland and builds from there. But first, can we please just take a moment to admire this beautiful cover? I love that bright red. Gorgeous!
Now onto the other important matter...
The Queen of
Hearts has stolen Neverland from Peter and made it into a kingdom of terrible
Wonders. As the Caterpillar says, “Oh Alice, it’s not how any of us imagined it
---- After all, each dark part of us seeps into the soil here, darkening the
land and the queen…”. You can see how Wonderland may be in more trouble than
our original author let on.
Upon arrival
into Wonderland we stumble onto another fairy tale crossover, Alice meets Robin
Hood. They end up having to work together to achieve what they came for, Alice
in search of her sister Wendy and Robin in search of revenge.
During Alice
and Robin’s time in Wonderland we meet all of our favorite Wonderlandians, the
Cheshire cat, the White Rabbit, the Dormouse, and of course the Mad Hatter… who
by the way has an fantastic back story, but I won’t ruin the surprise.
Things
aren’t all fun and Tea Time though. Alice definitely finds what she’s looking
for… but not all heroines get a happy ending.
This amazing
retelling of Alice in Wonderland released TODAY! So don’t forget to check it
out. It’s available for both paperback and Kindle, and is actually free right
now on Kindle Unlimited. But, that won’t last long!
This is the
third installment in the Haunting Fairytales Series. It can be read as a
stand-alone, but you will definitely be wanting to read the first two when
you’re done with this one. And you’re in luck! Because those are also currently
free on Kindle Unlimited.
Loved it,
Loved it, Loved it.
