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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

lola218_'s review against another edition

The first book in the series was good. Had some dark themes but nothing too crazy. This book was way too messed up. I don’t know how this has such high ratings when the whole book is about kidnapping, torture, rape, and mutilation.
