I
loved this book because it had me on the edge of my seat. I could not put it
down until I finished reading it.
It is a suspenseful mystery book with great
characters and dark secrets revealed throughout the pages.This is an excellent
book to read as a book club because the characters’ actions are so deviant of
what normal people would do.

I love retold fairy
tales and stories, and this one is an excellent retelling of Alice in
Wonderland, one of my favorite classic novels.
This is the origin story of the
villain in Alice in Wonderland, the Red Queen. It’s dark, romantic, and

I
loved this book because it was a heartbreaking story. The author writes with a
great voice and emotion for a teenage girl.
She grows up in poverty and
constantly takes care of other people she cares about, except herself. Despite
not growing up like her, I related to a lot of the emotions and events she
experiences in the story.
I kept wondering what would happen next to the
heroine in the story as she always gets into trouble and has to figure out how
to get out of her predicament.
