Alice has always felt like an outsider in Wonderland...and with the resurgence of an old cold case involving her best friend, she begins to find out why.


Determined to unearth the real culprit and deliver justice, Alice embarks on a perilous quest, finding herself reluctantly drawn into the treacherous realm of the Fae. Teaming up with the charismatic yet unpredictable Fae prince, Rumpelstiltskin, she must navigate a world where trust is scarce and betrayal lurks around every corner.

From the first page to the last this book was riveting. Rumple hires Alice to find a picture. While locating the picture she is also requested by Ella to find out who raped her. Trying to figure out the two mysteries get Alice into trouble. In the end she gets the answers and learns more about herself. A wonderful read that I would recommend. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

There are many reasons to enjoy this book! Alice is the character I expected her to be, rushing into things and losing her temper, but she also managed to surprise me. Her personality made everybody else take her seriously, without ever questioning her integrity or her logic. While the reveal at the end is a very smart and necessary piece to add to the Wonderland realm, I became so engrossed in the mistery, that I treated this book as a suspenseful stand-alone detective novel.

This was quite an interesting spin on Alice in wonderland, with several fantastic fairytale characters. My favourite has to be Rumplestiltskin, in this book he's very mysterious and if I'm honest kind of sexy. The storyline is very well implemented, and to say the least it's really exciting. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the rest, what an incredible story.
