Ever Alice


by  


I’m not a huge Alice in Wonderland buff, but I do love retellings and continuations of classic stories, and that is what originally drew me to this book. My interest was peaked to see what has happened to Alice, now age 15 after her adventures in Wonderland.

And boy, was I in for an emotional rollercoaster! I find stories that are not based my own relatable reality really draw you in and make you more invested, and this was definitely the case. The Wonderland speak made me work to read the story and keep up with the characters and also made it easier to relate to Alice’s discomfort and confusion. Being written by opposing first person accounts from both Alice and the Queen of Hearts point of view added another dimension to the story and the up and down emotions of the book.

I don’t want to give two much away, but this was a very relevant fan sequel for the Alice fandom. I highly recommend this book snd just want to say that the ending gave me a very emotional reaction and left me thinking out Ever Alice for a while afterwards.

Ever Alice by H.J. Ramsay is due to release August 1, 2019.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Red Rogue Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
