I thought that this was a very intriguing book. I really liked the first part. I liked the way the different stories took place and the way the different authors perceived their own images.
I did not care for the second set of books where they were starker and made to be in a darker image. I'd still give it 3 stars and completing rave about it to people. They just were not my full range of tea cups.
Lovely written though!

DNF. Pah, I'll be brutal, like the queen of hearts. It was absolute rubbish! But I knew that already, I was just intrigued by the Alice references. It was a bit uncomfortable at times as AIW is a wonderful kids book, and I think sexualising it is wrong.

I received this via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
To be honest, this compilation impressed me for a couple reasons. First, it actually had a story. Many compilations sort of barely touch on the theme and basically jump right to the action. This one has actual storylines and fiction between the risque parts. Secondly, it didn't jump immediately on the 50 Shades bandwagon and focus solely on BDSM.
That being said, the insect sex thing was a touch offputting. I wasn't a big fan and I imagine many will have a similar reaction. However, the other stories more than make up for that single one.

This was a great quick read and I found it refreshing to read something like this between longer and more complicated books. I enjoyed all the short stories quite a lot and it was great that you could read one story, take a little break or just go through the whole book without stopping (like I did, because it was so good). There were a couple of stories that confused me a little bit but they were good none the less and I will be looking forward to reading similar books to this.
