Blurb:Um. Um. Um. Are you reading this? If you are, I need your help.
I was at a party; I was running; I fell. And get this—this is the part you'll never believe—I fell down a rabbit hole. Like Alice in those old books.
Except in those books, there wasn't blood everywhere. In those books, the characters weren't all male, attractive, and interested in me. Forget everything you know about the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, the March Hare …
This isn't Wonderland; this is Underland. Violence, sex, drugs, and magic … that's all there is in this place. There's me, Allison, and there are the men that want me, the enemies that hunt me, and the darkness that's quickly rolling in.
And only I can stop it. So if you're reading this, will you help me? Please. I just want to escape this place and go … home.
ALLISON'S ADVENTURES IN UNDERLAND (Book 1 of 3 in the "Harem of Hearts" series) -- is a full-length reverse harem/new adult/dark romance novel, a gritty retelling of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". Don't expect a children's tale; these characters are nothing like their more innocent counterparts. This book contains: drugs, cursing, violence, sex ... and love found in the darkest shadows.
The cover is what initially caught my eye, the title is what made me click it. I think I was a bit predisposed to liking this book already since this is one of my favorite stories to have re-told and RH is kinda my jam so best of both worlds really.
I’ve read a lot or RH in my day and the most the woman had was 4 in her harem, this one is supposedly 9! It’s a slow build which, with this many lovers, is necessary really. I loved the world building and the fourth wall breaks quite a bit. And the references to the original story seemed accurate and were a lovely added touch. (sidenote: I never read the entire original book, but enough to get them) I’ve read a few retellings for Alice and this one is by far the best one yet. I’m already on the next one and it’s twice as long as this one so I’m hoping for a bit more romance in this one. The journey they go on is super interesting and fast paced. Great read.
