Wonderland is in trouble.
Under the rule of the Red Queen, Wonderland is under constant threat. In fear for her throne, children are taken into the queen’s army and only the strongest survive.
Alice is nothing but a pirate, but with the help of Hatter, they hatch a plan to sneak into the Red Queen’s palace to free Hatter’s sister. After all, Alice has always wanted to fly an airship.
Dr. Frank N. Stein has created an army of automatons to serve their queen. Of particular note: a prototype soldier. Part man. Part machine. The best of both worlds.
Doc’s monster is a threat to everything they know, but Alice sees something in the man that begs she look beyond what he’s done and search out the heart of the beast for the better of the realm.
He’s their only hope of survival, but how can a monster learn to love when all he’s known is hate?

MY THOUGHTS:
You most definitely want to click the link above and get your copy of Madness in Wonderland.
Tabitha Bouldin has created a rich world of intriguing characters that will keep you reading late into the night. I know. I stayed up way too late reading the story. The mash-up of Wonderland and Frankenstein’s monster is interesting enough on its own, but the author has woven well-known details from the original work into the story to make it familiar and comfortable while at the same time all-together new and interest grabbing.
While I love Alice and her heart for others to see beyond the obvious, my favorite character was Hatter. From the moment he was introduced, he caught and held my attention. Capitalizing on his trademark madness, the author has created a complex character that is still relatable and lovable. And in the middle of all the wonder and chaos of Wonderland, the author has delivered a story with depth and meaning. It’s a story I plan to revisit and pass on to all the readers in my family. Madness in Wonderland deserves more than the allotted five stars.

More from Tabitha
Madness in Wonderland is a story of found family, good versus evil, rambunctious heroines and strong heroes who are not afraid to leap across airships for their people.
Trust me when I say I’ve tested their loyalty.
I put the Wonder’s crew through so much I started feeling sorry for them. Then I had another airship shoot at them with their cannons. That’s when I knew this story was not only a source of entertainment for me, but it was also challenging me. Madness forced me to become a better writer. Each page demanded my full attention if I wanted to have any hope of catching the true vibes of the story and bringing them to the page.
When I first started writing Madness, I had a rough idea of what I wanted. Evil Queen. Check. Alice as a tough but loving heroine. Check. Frankenstein’s monster. Check. (What’s Wonderland without a little havoc?)
Then the characters took over the story.
Frankenstein’s monster didn’t want to be a monster.
Hatter wanted to be more than a mad side character.
Alice wanted everyone to get along without losing another crew member.
Meeting their demands was a challenge and the story shifted from a whimsical fairy tale to something more. It dove deeper than I planned and showed me that I can do hard things too.
