About the book
Stella spends her nights at a hospice, helping the dying say goodbye in letters meant to be mailed only after they've passed. It’s quiet work, tender and sacred, until one letter threatens to break the rules and upend everything.
Grace has a confession. A son she abandoned. A truth she wants him to hear while she’s still breathing. If Stella sends it now, she risks her job, the rules, and maybe fate itself.
At home, her marriage is fraying. Her husband came back from war haunted and silent, and Stella is running out of ways to reach him.
But as grief, hope, and forgiveness collide, Stella begins to understand the power of the written word and the strength it takes to live without regret.

A Grumpy Sunshine MM romance from New York Times bestselling author, J. Daniels.
Kindhearted Felix longs for gruff, sexy Jake — but a relationship seems out of the question as the two fight to stay on the road to sobriety.
They say the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.
They say the best way to stay sober is to love yourself.
I’m great at making bad decisions.
Addict? Check. Poor impulse control? Check. Obsessed with the guy I’m sponsoring? Check Check Check.
There is no one worse for me to want in my bed than Jake Tully. He’s hot and grumpy and literally a terrible idea. Terrible. Worse, no one has ever made me feel the way he does — valued. But here I am - thinking about him again.
Falling for my sponsor is not my worst idea yet, but it’s damn close.
Felix Fields is everything good. He’s thoughtful and kind. I can’t help but think about every bad thing we could do between these sheets.
But we can’t be together. I’m not willing to risk my recovery for anyone – even if he might be perfect for me.
Finding a love like this is nothing short of a tragedy.

Escaping Wonderland

Our take
Virtual reality turns deadly in Escaping Wonderland, a dark sci-fi fantasy romance with 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon. Tiffany Roberts delivers claws, chaos, and chemistry in this twisted retelling where Alice must trust a seductive monster to survive.

About the book
Wonderland isn’t real. Alice knows that. Probably.
After being wrongfully committed to an asylum, she wakes in a virtual world built from madness, danger, and titanic mushrooms. The Red King is hunting her. The rules are broken. And the only thing more unsettling than her surroundings is the creature stalking beside her.
Shadow is monstrous, seductive, and completely out of his mind. With claws, glowing eyes, and a grin that shouldn’t comfort her, he offers the one thing Alice hasn’t had in a long time. Hope.
As their bond deepens, so does the madness. And if Alice wants to escape this digital Wonderland, she’ll need to decide what’s real, what’s illusion, and who she’s willing to become.
Especially if love turns out to be the craziest thing of all.

In Mad as a Hatter, Wonderland bleeds.
Mad as a Hatter
Romantasy · Dark Romance
Our take
In Mad as a Hatter, Wonderland bleeds. With 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon, Kendra Moreno’s horror romance throws Clara into a world of gore, prophecy, and one very sexy, very unstable Hatter. This isn’t whimsy, it’s war. Twisted, terrifying, and darkly romantic, it’s Wonderland like you’ve never seen it before.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Clara thought she’d seen it all. Then a man with rabbit ears dragged her through a portal and ruined her day.
Now she’s in Wonderland, a land where the Red Queen reigns, the trees try to kill you, and prophecy is apparently a valid career path. Clara’s mission? Stop the Knave, survive the monsters, and win the heart of a dangerously unstable Hatter.
Easy. Just ignore the gore, madness, and creatures with too many teeth.
But Clara didn’t survive the legal system just to be taken down by a tea party. To save this twisted realm, she’ll have to embrace the chaos, face her fears, and figure out what it means to fall for someone who’s lost his mind.
Wonderland wants blood. Clara came ready.

Alice and the Heart of Madness
LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy
Our take
A sapphic twist on Alice in Wonderland, Alice and the Heart of Madness reimagines tea parties and talking cats with tender rebellion. Amy Clark delivers whimsy and wit with 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon. At its heart, this is a queer love story wrapped in riddles, corsets, and a whole lot of emotional chaos.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Alice was supposed to be a proper young lady. Then she followed a rabbit into a land where nothing made sense, and everything finally did.
In Wonderland, chaos reigns and tea is more philosophy than refreshment. Alice meets Hattie, a hatter with a crooked grin, clever tongue, and a knack for turning the world upside down. Together, they dodge riddles, beasts, and expectations.
But Wonderland isn’t just about escape. It’s about transformation. With Hattie by her side, Alice questions the life she left behind and begins to unravel who she really is.
As their bond deepens, so do the stakes. Because in this mad world, even love comes with a cost.
If Alice wants to find herself, she’ll have to lose everything that made her.

Wonderland’s gone dark and dirty in Allison’s Adventures in Underland, a reverse harem fantasy with 4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon.
Allison’s Adventures in Underland
Romantasy · Dark Fantasy · Paranormal Romance
Our take
Wonderland’s gone dark and dirty in Allison’s Adventures in Underland, a reverse harem fantasy with 4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon. C.M. Stunich delivers blood, lust, and madness in this wildly twisted take on a classic. These aren’t your childhood characters and Allison’s about to find out just how deep this rabbit hole goes.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Allison was just trying to escape a party. Then she fell into blood, magic, and something much darker than Wonderland.
This isn’t tea parties and nonsense. This is Underland. And the Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, and March Hare? They’re men. Dangerous, gorgeous men with agendas as twisted as the realm itself.
Allison doesn’t know why she’s here or how to leave. The rules make no sense, the enemies wear charming smiles, and something in the shadows wants her dead, or worse.
Caught between desire and danger, Allison must navigate hallucinogenic tea, violent courtships, and a world on the brink of collapse.
She didn’t ask to be a heroine. But Underland doesn’t care what she wants. It only cares what she can survive.

Splintered
Romantasy · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
Splintered follows Alyssa Gardner, a descendant of Alice Liddell who hears insects and flowers whisper and discovers that her family's supposed curse is tied to a darker, more dangerous Wonderland, where she must face a series of trials to save her mother, with a 4.5-star rating from more than 2,500 Amazon reviewers. Best for readers who like dark Alice in Wonderland retellings, gothic YA fantasy, dangerous magic, and romantic tension.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A gifted teenager whose ancestor inspired a literary classic descends into a mystical under-land in this romantic, dark fantasy series debut.
Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers—precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.
When her mother's mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice's tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice's mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.
"Fans of dark fantasy, as well as of Carroll's Alice in all her revisionings (especially Tim Burton's), will find a lot to love in this compelling and imaginative novel." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review
"Alyssa is one of the most unique protagonists I've come across in a while. Splintered is dark, twisted, entirely riveting, and a truly romantic tale." —USA Today
"Brilliant, because it is ambitious, inventive, and often surprising." —The Boston Globe
"It's a deft, complex metamorphosis of this children's fantasy made more enticing by competing romantic interests, a psychedelic setting, and more mad violence than its original." —Booklist
"Howard's visual imagination is superior; a cavalcade of weirdness dances across the pages. . . . The story's creepiness is intriguing as horror, and its hypnotic tone and setting, at the intersection of madness and creativity, should sweep readers down the rabbit hole." —Publishers Weekly

Gregory Maguire, bestselling author of Wicked, returns with After Alice, a haunting reimagining of Wonderland told through the eyes of Alice’s forgotten friend.
After Alice
Literary Fiction · Contemporary Fiction · Magical Realism
Our take
Gregory Maguire, bestselling author of Wicked, returns with After Alice, a haunting reimagining of Wonderland told through the eyes of Alice’s forgotten friend. With 4.2 out of 5 stars on Amazon, this philosophical twist on the classic tale explores loss, logic, and the surreal in lush, literary prose. Wonderland just got even stranger.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Alice fell first, but she wasn’t the only one.
When Ada arrives to visit her eccentric friend, she’s just in time to miss the chaos. One wrong step later, and she’s tumbling down the same rabbit-hole into a Wonderland that’s less charming whimsy, more metaphysical fever dream.
In this surreal, sideways sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Gregory Maguire reimagines the story not through Alice’s eyes, but Ada’s. Prim, awkward, and slightly asthmatic, Ada isn’t built for Wonderland’s logic-defying nonsense, but she’s determined to bring Alice back.
Back in Victorian Oxford, whispers swirl, decorum frays, and grown-ups scramble to explain the inexplicable.
What if Wonderland isn’t just nonsense and riddles? What if it’s a mirror? And what if both girls are changed for good, whether they escape or not?

Heartless
Romantasy · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
Heartless is a spellbinding prequel to Alice in Wonderland, telling the tragic origin of the Queen of Hearts. With 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon, Marissa Meyer weaves a lush, heartbreaking tale of doomed love, defiance, and destiny. This #1 New York Times bestseller shows how even the sweetest dreams can curdle into something cruel.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Before she was the Queen of Hearts, she was just a girl with flour on her hands and a dream in her heart.
Catherine is Wonderland’s most eligible bachelorette, and the King of Hearts has hearts in his eyes. But Cath? She just wants to open a bakery with her best friend and avoid all this royalty nonsense.
Then she meets Jest, the court joker with secrets tucked beneath every grin. Their whirlwind romance is dangerous, forbidden, and utterly intoxicating.
As magic coils through the kingdom and monsters begin to stir, Cath learns that dreams come at a price. The kind that can twist a love story into a tragedy.
Wonderland didn’t make her a villain. It broke her first.

This urban fantasy flips Wonderland on its head.
A Blade So Black
Romantasy · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
This urban fantasy flips Wonderland on its head. With 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon, A Blade So Black delivers monsters, magic, and mayhem in a version of Atlanta where Nightmares are real and high school is still the worst. L.L. McKinney’s genre-bending debut is fierce, funny, and totally unforgettable.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Monsters are real, and they look nothing like the storybooks promised.
Alice barely survived her first encounter with a Nightmare, but she didn’t run. She trained. Now, armed with enchanted blades and serious combat skills, she keeps Wonderland’s horrors in check, when she’s not battling curfews, calculus, and her mom’s texts.
But when her mentor is poisoned, everything spirals. To save him, Alice must plunge even deeper into Wonderland, a realm more twisted and lethal than any nightmare. One wrong step and she’s toast, or decapitated. Same difference.
Juggling two worlds is harder than it looks. Especially when one wants you dead and the other wants your report card.
Can Alice find the antidote in time, or will Wonderland claim another head for its collection?

Disney princess by day.
Maeve Fly
Horror · Thriller
Our take
Disney princess by day. Literary misanthrope by night. Murderous maniac somewhere in between. Maeve Fly is a gory, gleeful horror debut that flips the slasher script with 4.6 stars on Amazon and praise from Stephen Graham Jones and Grady Hendrix. If American Psycho and LA nightlife had a twisted baby, this blood-soaked love letter is it.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Maeve Fly is an ice princess by day, a horror-obsessed loner by night, and something much darker just beneath the surface.
By all appearances, she works at the happiest place on earth. But Maeve's nights belong to LA’s underbelly, dive bars, macabre novels, and her own simmering rage. When her best friend’s charming brother moves to town, something unravels inside her. Something sharp. Something hungry.
Inspired by her literary idols and haunted by her own discontent, Maeve crafts a new identity that doesn’t ask for permission. It takes.
Maeve Fly is a brutal, blood-slicked ride through the sun-soaked decay of Los Angeles. Part slasher, part satire, CJ Leede’s explosive debut is not for the faint of heart. Think American Psycho, but make it female.

Good for readers who like dragon shifters, forced proximity, fated mates, and high-heat fantasy romance.
The Dragon King’s Mate
Romantasy
Our take
The Dragon King’s Mate is a steamy Beauty and the Beast-inspired romantasy about a woman sent to seduce the dragon king, only to be claimed by him and trapped in an ancient mating process she does not understand, with a 4.4-star rating from more than 4,300 Amazon reviewers. Good for readers who like dragon shifters, forced proximity, fated mates, and high-heat fantasy romance.
Choose your retailer
About the book
I was supposed to seduce the dragon king, but before I could, he claimed me as his.
Now I’m chained to him, trapped in an ancient mating process I neither want nor understand.
I’ve got to get out, but there’s only one way to do that now—and it involves a much more permanent type of shackle.
I have no idea what will happen if I agree to be the king’s mate, but one thing's for sure…
My life will never be the same again.
*This steamy romantic fantasy series was lightly inspired by Beauty and the Beast.
