The Looking-Glass Curse: The Complete Series by Eva ChaseMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A great series of three books that will transport you to the world of Alice and her looking glass. You'll be surprised at how things are working out for her and how different the story it to how you remember it.
Wicked Wonderland - 5*
Lyssa Tenniel has inherited a large house from a great aunt that she can barely remember but finds it helps her to forget the mess that is her life and leads her to the kind of adventures she could only dream of. It all started when she falls through a mirror and finds herself in Wonderland. There she meets some really hot guys - an eccentric Hatter, a mysterious guy called Chess and the inventive White Knight. She will get involved in a rebellion against a tyrant of a White Queen, discover a special power all while trying her best to keep her head (literally) and her heart.
This is a lovely slow-burn reverse harem book that is an imaginative twist on the Alice in Wonderland story. The places, characters and events are all easy to imagine, understand and sense how the characters are feeling. Lyssa is understandably hesitant as she comes to terms with the whole situation and events that are happening - sometimes I admit I found her annoying but I'm probably far more trusting of this kind of environment that she is given the kinds of book that I read. A great book that is highly recommended.
Wrathful Wonderland - 5*
In this second book in the Looking Glass Curse series, Lyssa is stuck in Wonderland and has to stay there until a new route home is found for her. During this time the Queen starts to imprison townsfolk until she has Lyssa and all of the Spades in custody. With the help of the Hatter who is being madder these days, Chess going missing a lot and the White Knight revealing some very dark secrets will Lyssa evade capture and rescue those imprisoned or end up losing her head?
I loved this book which explained a lot of the questions that came to my mind in the first book (although it did give me a few new ones too). It gave some great details about the world Lyssa is now in, the history of it, the main characters and some great insights into the three guys and their personalities. It was all clear and easy to understand and the ending is a definite cliffhanger so I definitely NEED to know what happens next and what Lyssa does about it.
Wanton Wonderland - 5*
This is the third and final book in the Looking Glass Curse series. In this book Lyssa has a number of tasks tom complete it she wants to claim back Wonderland's throne from the current usurper queen. The citizens are either drugged and in a daze or have been altered in some way, make sure she has all the artefacts and knows how to use them, and complete the circle of love she has for the three extraordinary men by freeing one of them from captivity. Now, this world is her home Lyssa needs to be prepared to fight to get it back.
This is a great final book in the series where we experience the final showdown between Lyssa and the usurper queen that she needs to overthrow. The relationship between Lyssa and her three lovers was strengthened in this book and she finally came into her own as she battled to overthrow the usurper queen. A great ending to the series that was well written and very enjoyable.
