Alice in Zombieland (White Rabbit Chronicles #1) by Gena Showalter

Goodreads Blurb:

She won't rest until she's sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.
If anyone had told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that's all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.

Her father was right. The monsters are real.

To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn't careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies.

My thoughts: I love Zombies and I LOVE Alice in Wonderland so the second I saw the title I immediately knew I had to read it. I got completely sucked into the story that I forgot the world around me so I had to watch when I read it. The story takes place in current day with “Wonderland” being the spirit plane between us and the afterlife. There are some Wonderland aspect of the story but mostly it is all Showalter’s vision. The relationship between Ali and Kat is one of the best friendships I’ve read and Ali and Cole’s relationship…is one of my top OTPs! Forever Team Cole!!!!

The Looking Glass Wars

By Frank Beddor

Goodreads Blurb: Alyss of Wonderland?
When Alyss Heart, newly orphaned heir to the Wonderland throne, flees through the Pool of Tears to escape her murderous Aunt Redd, she finds herself lost and alone in Victorian London. Befriended by an aspiring author named Lewis Carrol, Alyss tells the violent, heartbreaking story of her young life. Alyss trusts this author to tell the truth so that someone, somewhere will find her and bring her home. But he gets the story all wrong. He even spells her name incorrectly!

Fortunately, Royal Bodyguard Hatter Madigan knows all too well the awful truth of Alyss' story - and he's searching every corner of our world to find the lost princess and return her to Wonderland, to battle Redd for her rightful place as the Queen of Hearts.

The Looking Glass Wars unabashedly challenges our Wonderland assumptions of mad tea parties, grinning Cheshire cats, and a curious little blond girl to reveal an epic battle in the endless war for Imagination.

My thoughts: If I could give this book infinite stars I would. A co-worker of mine recommend this book to me, I didn’t even know it existed, and I fell in love. I love how her name is spelled, how are the characters I know from the Disney story are there but better, and possibly my favorite part was how the tied in Lewis Carrol. I couldn’t put the book down once I started, the story kicks off with a bang, and if I didn’t have to work I probably would’ve finished it sooner. If you are a Wonderland fan I highly suggest you read this book, it is the first in the trilogy and I believe Hatter Madigan might has a spin-off, not 100% sure though.
