Why I'm looking forward to reading it:

Because it's a re-telling of the story of Alice in Wonderland with a darker twist, and from the early reviews so far- it sounds amazing! 

This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a mystical under-land, as well as a girl’s pangs of first love and independence. 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.

• Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi (Under the Never Sky, book 2).
• Undone by Cat Clarke.
• Vortex by Julie Cross (Tempest, book 2).

• The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna. This was already published in America last year, and has gotten some amazing reviews.
• Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff.
• Shadows in the Silence by Courtney Allison Moulton (Angelfire, book 3).

• Broken by A.C Rought. New release from new imprint Strange Chemistry publishers who have been consistently good so far.

• Night School Legacy by C.J Daugherty (Night School, book 2)

• Level 2 by Lenore Appelhans.

• Boundless by Cynthia Hand (Unearthly, book 3). Annoyingly, the UK publisher has decided not to pick up book 3 of this series- so this is the US hardback edition.
