As much as I really enjoyed this book, I have to be honest and say that unless you, like me, are a big fun of the classic, you might not love it. It relies heavily on your knowledge of the classic. Although everything is well explained you will be missing something without it.
I'm also not sure calling this one a romance is correct. Even a dark reverse harem as it is advertised... but that I think will most definitely become the case in the second book. We are just not there yet and when I went into this one, I didn't know it was series with cliffhangers.
Allison's Adventures in Underland is a fantastic adaptation of the classic. It is Dark, it is sexy, it has charm.
Allison watches a man with bunny ears murder her crash and runs after him. She falls down the rabbit hole in the process coming face to face with the twins. Expect in this version the twins are two very sexy man with signs hanging around their necks that say, "eat me", "drink me". I am sure you understand the message. She didn't at first, but I won't tell you more.
Although this little description makes it sound like the book has a lot of sexy time, it really doesn't. She does not take the twins up on those signs and there is no romance for a good 60% of the book. And that is why I say you must enjoy the classic. I loved all the references to the original and the dark mysterious retelling CM Stunich created. I thought it was really well done, very creative, and I am looking forward to reading the next one!
