Four ways to piss off the Queen of Hearts:1. Have a name that sounds kind of like Alice.2. Change the decor in her favorite club.3. Destroy the magic she’s used to hold Wonderland in her cruel grasp.4. Fail to offer your head in penance. I didn’t come to this bizarre, intoxicating place looking for trouble, but I’ve sure as hell found it. As the Queen retaliates viciously against the Spades’ … viciously against the Spades’ rebellion, it’s up to me and the three alluring men I’ve allied with to save Wonderland before so many innocents lose their heads.
Easier said than done. With Hatter tapping into his inner Mad, Chess pulling a vanishing act, and the White Knight revealing secrets darker than I could have imagined, everything I counted on here has turned upside down. When the swords come out, will I even be able to save myself?
Wrathful Wonderland is the second book in a medium-burn reverse harem series that reimagines Alice in Wonderland. If you love spirited heroines, hot men with secrets to spare, and worlds full of unexpected delights and horrors, step through the looking-glass today!

Wonderland has twists and turns… This is a second in the wonderland series. It delves into all the skeletons in everyone’s closets. It also gives Lyssa a family history lesson that she had no idea about. Theo has told his truths, Chess talked about his demons and Hatter has relived his guilt. Steam 9/10 * Sweet 9/10 * RH * Alt 1st POV * Cliffhanger
Now that Alicia knows her calling, will she be able to help the others?
The story continues with Alicia finding out what her true calling in life is.
And of course more fun with the guys!!
Really enjoy such an adult take on one of my childhood faves.
I think I just literally forgot the time. I was reading and reading and I had the impression it wasn’t even that late. I didn’t need to go to the toilet, I wasn’t thirsty, I wasn’t hungry even though it was way past dinner time already. I had really forgotten the time. I was existing in my own little bubble, without a sound, without time, without space. Just me, a good book and Wonderland.
This Wonderland might not be as crazy and magical and weird as some other versions of it, but it’s an interesting world. The people living here are interesting, the politics are interesting, all the players on the chessboard (haha) are interesting and the dynamics and plot twists are just constantly keeping me on the tips of my toes.
Of course, there were things I saw coming and could guess, but I always see that as a good thing. Chase managed to seed things, managed to foreshadow certain reveals, managed to build everything up carefully. Nothing came out of literally nowhere. And I like that. It shows some planning skills and to me it equals good story telling. And it’s the careful build up combined with the complicated and interesting political situation that made me love this book so much.
And the characters. Lyssa is an amazing leading lady. She’s a lot like me in a lot of ways, but she doesn’t back down and she is willing to sacrifice things for Wonderland and its people. And her three guys are just as amazing. I fall in love with Theo more and more with each page, despite his flaws. When it comes to Chess it was love at first sight and it keeps on growing. And then there’s Hatter, who’s not really my type, but is such a wonderful character so I end up loving him anyway.
I can’t wait to dive into the last book of this trilogy!
I liked this one even better than the first one. There is a lot of confusing stuff going on, but things are clarified pretty well in the story. The twists and turns get more intense and so does the character development. There’s also a pretty big surprise revealed that I didn’t see coming at all. And I read enough books that it is difficult to surprise me with these things nowadays.
Wow I did not see a lot of the surprises coming. Such a great continuation to Lyssa and Wonderland’s story. Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing and keeps your interest. I mean the revelations of Lyssa’s family alone would have me wanting book 3. Then add in Theo/the White Knight’s secrets and just wow. I can not wait to find out how it all is going to end in book 3!
Wrathful Wonderland is Book 2 of the Looking-Glass Curse. Ms. Chase has again out did herself in the retelling. She has continued expanding her Wonderland development with beautifully descriptive prose. She has added growth to her characters as well as giving us information and insight into their pasts which answers many of the question generated in Book 1. Lyssa is learning more about herself and her family. We also have a better understanding of Hatter, Theo, and Chess and what made them who they are. We also delve deeper into the Queen of Hearts’ reign of terror and her love of the saying “Off With There Head”. This book is a page-turner with adventure, action, intrigue, twists/turns, acceptance, romance, etc. It answers so many of my questions from Book 1 but also adds more. There is a cliffhanger which makes it impossible to be lax about when Book 3 will arrive. Again, I highly recommend this book and series. I find this retelling of Alice In Wonderland to be so much better than the original. Received a copy and this is my voluntary and honest review.
