Wicked Wonderland

Looking-Glass Curse, Book 1

By: Eva Chase

Narrated by: Samantha Cook, Teddy Hamilton

Length: 8 hrs and 46 mins

Publisher's Summary

Dive through the looking-glass into a Wonderland that's lush, exhilarating...and deadly.

Five steps to getting over a nasty break-up:

One: Inherit a mini-castle from your reclusive grand-aunt. Two: Fall through a mirror into a decadent upside-down world. Three: Get to know the smoking-hot locals. Prickly Hatter. Playful Chess. And the passionate White Knight.... Wait, what was I talking about? Oh, right. Four: Discover you possess powers that could win a rebellion against a tyrannical queen. Five: Keep a tight hold on your head - and your heart.

When I tumbled into Wonderland, I only wanted to escape the epic mess my life had become. I'm not sure I can trust anything in this bizarre, intoxicating place. But the three incredibly enticing men I've met here might need me even more than anyone back home ever has.

Maybe a little heroism is all it'll take to heal my wounds and theirs. As long as the Queen of Hearts doesn't come for our heads first...

Contains mature themes.

Awesome retelling

I liked all the characters. MC was strong but not jumping right into the fight. Judging and watching the whole situation. No instant love or sex scene. Of course a lot of sexual tension but made story more interesting. Good story building. Looking forward to book 2.

Wicked little take on a beloved classic!!! Great!

Wicked Wonderland by Eva Chase (the Audio Book) is an interesting and fun play on the original Alice in Wonderland story. I enjoyed the readings by Samantha Cook and Teddy Hamilton, though I like his better. She did an INCREDIBLE job with the lead character, Lyssa…but, I just couldn’t connect with her portrayal of the other (especially male) characters. I really loved readings by Teddy Hamilton…though his female characterizations were a little whiny.

Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Eva Chase seems to have a thing for re-writing fictional characters in her own fun, bizarre way….and she seems to like the 4-1 ratio with the characters. LOL. This is fine with me and I always enjoy her unique, quirky spin on beloved characters of old!!!! Great story!!!!!

I voluntarily received an Advance Copy of this audibook for an honest review.

it was interesting

This was an interesting take on the classic Alice in Wonderland story but I don't want to continue on to the next book. Don't get me wrong it was comparatively well written and I liked the main character. I just didn't appreciate all the random people having public sex around the town. I understand that the author was trying to create a mad world of hedonistic hopelessness. That sort of thing would have bothered me less if she had kept it in the club or after hours when all the town’s kids were safely tucked in their beds but taking the exhibitionism to the towns streets, square, and park in broad daylight was crossing a line. Thankfully she didn't go into detail. It may not bother other people but it soured the story for me. I like other books/series by this author just not this one.

good story

first few chapters were pretty slow but I liked this one. the female narrator does a good job on her own. not really a fan of her impressions of Male voices but meh it was ok.

INTERESTING STORYLINE

I am writing this review whilst listening to book 1 of this series. The story and plot is enjoyable. The narrators Samantha and Cook and Terry Hamilton. The only snag is that I cannot understand why there is a necessity for two narrators? Samantha did quite well with her male voices and Terry is good for the female voices. So,why the need for two narrators? Because when Terry read the female voices in his chapters, definitely the voices will be different when read by Samantha . The same applies vice versa for the male voices when read by Samantha! So please stick to one reader who can voice both males and females. That will make the story flow more smoothly. The idea of having two narrators to read on book is most unacceptable. I collect lots of fantastic books in my library and I get very upset to return books which I like because of this problem. I hope the publisher/Audible will take this comment into consideration for future books? Thank you.

Enjoyed!

A very intriguing story! There is so much going on in the Looking Glass world. There were a lot of serious and tense moments that I am really glad to have the romance/sexual chemistry going on at the same time. Eva Chase writes some great sexual build up and she does give us a full steamy scene as well. The guys are interesting and I really liked how all the original characters from Alice are all here! Really helped keep it a Wicked Wonderland :) This audiobook had a duet narration and I enjoyed that as well. The narrators did a fantastic job bringing us into the story.
