Book Summary:

A thieving maid with a secret. A tarnished knight with no purpose. Together, can they find a way out of Wonderland?

Alice once fell in love with the wrong man and paid a devastating price. Now she hides a dark secret and will stop at nothing to discover what happened to the sister she left behind. Bayne, a former knight, only wants a fresh start after his service almost cost him his life—and his mind. He certainly isn’t expecting a run-in with a thieving maidservant from his prior kingdom to change everything.

When the two are captured by outlaws and forced to partake in a traitorous plot, they end up lost in a perilous enchanted land with no way out. They must learn to trust each other—and themselves—if they hope to be freed from a twisted world where nothing is what it seems.

But the clock is ticking and some riddles have no answer. Can they escape before it’s too late, or will they be trapped in a land of madness forever?

To Escape a Wonderland is a retelling of Alice in Wonderland. It is one of twelve novellas in The Shattered Tales, a collection of twelve fractured retellings of your favorite fairy tales. They can be enjoyed in any order, so fall in love with the swoony sweet romance, magical adventures, and tale-shattering twists one happily-ever-after at a time!

My Thoughts:

It was a cute story but it never really pulled me in. I went from liking it to hating it to liking it again. It was romantic and clean, perfect for teens. I liked that both characters had to figure out how to forgive themselves for their pasts. I also loved the subtle hits of the classic story. All in all, it was just okay for me. 

P.S. This is book 12 and I haven't read the first 11 books. If you are looking for the fairy tale aspect with a hint of romance this could be the book for you.
