A friend brought this book to my attention. As soon as the words Alice in Wonderland came out of her mouth I knew I had to read this book. I love retellings of my favorite stories. Cameron Jace has taken Alice In Wonderland and brought it to modern day. He has created a world that is mad, dark, twisted and holds some horrors. Insanity draws you in from the very first page, it had me reading non stop until I finished the book. This book left me wanting more, wanting the next book, wanting to know what happens next. Cameron Jace's characters are well developed, and has you rooting for/or against your favorite characters.
This story follows Alice Wonder, she doesn't know who she is or why she is in an asylum. Shock therapies have left her with no recollection of her past. Her only friend, a flower in a pot, whose named Tiger Lily. Alice tries to escape from the asylum and fails. This is where she is introduce to Professor Carter Pillar a serial killer serving his sentence in the asylum, he has been commissioned by the police force to help find and capture a new serial killer "The Cheshire Cat" whom is at large. He has requested Alice as his assistant. Professor Pillar is filling Alice in on the Wonderland Monsters, and who she really is, even if she thinks it's completely mad. Cameron Jace's way of introducing the Wonderland characters as an alter ego in the modern day, had me looking forward to meeting other Wonderlanders. Like the Cheshire, was a very interesting character and how evil he was, Alice thinking she was really mad for thinking Wonderland may just in fact be real, and Professor Pillar being absolutely crazy. But all the characters fit with the book and if you changed them in the slightest it would change the book completely. Insanity lives up to its' name, it is purely insane. I would recommend this book to everyone. You will have so many questions while reading this book, and wonderings of what will happen. Trying to solve the mystery along the way of reading this book and looking for clues was fun, it keeps you interested, sadly I did not guess right at the end. I cannot wait to get my hands on the remaining books in this series I have not read yet and let you know what I think of them.
