Alice is different than other eighteen-year-old ladies in Kexford, which is perfectly fine with her. She’d rather spend golden afternoons with her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian’s lively salon, ignoring her sister’s wishes that she stop all that “nonsense” and become a “respectable” member of society. Alice is happy to meander to Miss Yao’s teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square. She’s also interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but just because she’s curious , of course, not because he was sweet and charming. But when Alice develops photographs she has recently taken about town, familiar faces of old suddenly appear in the place of her actual subjects―the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar. There’s something eerily off about them, even for Wonderland creatures. And as Alice develops a self-portrait, she finds the most disturbing image of all―a badly-injured dark-haired girl asking for Alice’s help. Mary Ann . Returning to the place of nonsense from her childhood, Alice finds herself on a mission to stop the Queen of Hearts’ tyrannical rule and to find her place in both worlds. But will she able to do so . . . before the End of Time?

REVIEW

I was hesitant to read "fanfic" for one of my all time favorite stories, but I love Alice in Wonderland. The books, the movies, just the idea of falling away into a fantasy world with magical creatures. I haven't read any of the other Twisted Tales so I went in not sure what to expect and scared of being let down. I was instantly impressed with the writing style that felt true and accurate to the original, it didn't feel modernized, it could've been written in Victorian times. It felt natural to read and I was immersed in Wonderland all over again.
