I was provided this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.The book begins telling of the snarky and unconventional Danika, fairy God-mother to the wicked. The quick whit in the mind of her draws you in, swiftly depositing you into a more adult version of the much beloved Wonderland. Where Danika must meet with her worst 5 "villains" at the famed Mad Hatter's tea table.What follows is nothing short of magic, making you fall in love all over again with characters of your childhood.The Hatter must find his one true love and mate in order to save him and the whimsical land of insanity that he calls home.Alice Hu must get past what reality has told her since she was 13 is just not possible and, accept the man she has always known to be her one true love. Believe in a fairy god mother and follow a man sized white rabbit.The evolution of their love begins like a slow climb up the jagged edge of a cliff, dipping and falling through spiraling holes that appear only to add yet another mountain to climb. The inner battles of the Hatter's head all manifesting in the world around them and, Alice's own battles to accept the man who is pushing her away add humor and make it impossible to not feel everything the character feels.This book has everything any reader needs to become transported and entrapped in a world where everything and nothing is possible all at once. A love between two so strong it transcends realms, steamy hints at the erotic making you shift and squirm wishing the author went further, and the thrill of never knowing what is going to happen next.Will the Mad Hatter finally accept little Alice Hu as his one true Alice, despite the other Alices that have come before? Will Alice save him from the world he is allowing to consume him and balance his insanity? Does love really conquer all, even the reality fate has already written? This book will leave you guessing until the very end, right when you think you have it figured out in come another curve making you rush to turn the net page.Open your mind and travel down the rabbit hole, into a whimsical world where we are all mad, and fall in love with your favorite childhood fantasy all over again, in an all new way.
