Creative, dark retelling of Alice in Wonderland. I'm glad characters from the first book made and appearance but that ending gutted me! I enjoyed this one more than the first, the world continues to be fascinating and spicy.

Second book of this connected standalone series, new characters are introduced and multiple POVS used. Alice in Wonderland retelling but DARK. Check trigger warnings, less spice 🌶️ than the first book. This book seems like it’ll flow more into the third book and those might be more of a duology feel. We keep Fin and Clara as characters from the first book which is a relief because the first book was so excellent I didn’t want them to go away. This ended on somewhat of a cliff hanger, we don’t know what happened to one character that left abruptly towards the end and there’s no closure between Alice and the Rabbit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was such a let down from the first one. I didn't connect with any of the new characters and I did not like the story.

I think this was even better than the first, which is rare in trilogies. Less steam with more action-filled plot, but still firmly in hyper spice territory. Definitely will be reading the third book.
