Summary: Alyssa is the great-great-great granddaughter of Alice Liddle (you know that Alice - the Wonderland Alice). Even if her classmates didn't know her history, Alyssa would never be able to escape it anyway. See, Alyssa hears things. Bugs and plants talk to her. It happened to her mother, who is currently residing in an asylum, and it is exactly where Alyssa will end up if she can't ignore the whispers. Someone visits her in her dreams, connecting her to a childhood that wasn't what it seems. Now, Alyssa must journey down the rabbit hole, fix what her ancestor broke, and try not to go crazy herself.
The Bad: There were moments when I really liked Jeb, but that's because I was seeing him through Alyssa's eyes. In all honesty, I didn't care for his character at all. If I pick up the next one (on a whim like this one was), then I hope to see some growth in his character.
The Ugly: The love triangle. Don't get me wrong, I love a good love triangle. I just wonder if this one was really necessary. The adaptations of Alice in Wonderful love to have a romance between Alice and the Mad Hatter character. Not all, but a few. I really enjoyed the Mad Hatter character, but not in the way the main character enjoyed him (haha). I loved how twisted and confused his story line was and how you're never really sure what his motives are and what he really wants. That being said, I still disliked the love triangle. It really put me off from this book, but I'm glad I finished it.
Rating: 3.4 out of 5
Reasoning: While I enjoyed the book and appreciated the world, I could have used more... Everything.
