Blog Tour: Queen of Hearts by Colleen Oakes

REVIEW:

QUEEN OF HEARTS is an exciting, odd, and creative take on the origins of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. I knew from the first sentence (yes, sentence) that this book wasn't what I was expecting. I mean, it starts off with a talking rabbit.

From there, the craziness and hilarity ensues. I may not have been expecting this book, but I loved it nonetheless. It captured my attention, engaging my imagination and keeping me entertained.

I absolutely adored Dinah. I loved her spunk, her spirit and her heart. She is (obviously) the driving force behind this story, but she's a character you want to get behind and cheer for.

QUEEN OF HEARTS is a crazy read that will snap any reader out of a reading funk. It's different in all the best way, so make sure you check it out ASP!

ABOUT QUEEN OF HEARTS:

As Princess of Wonderland Palace and the future Queen of Hearts, Dinah’s days are an endless monotony of tea, tarts, and a stream of vicious humiliations at the hands of her father, the King of Hearts. The only highlight of her days is visiting Wardley, her childhood best friend, the future Knave of Hearts — and the love of her life.

When an enchanting stranger arrives at the Palace, Dinah watches as everything she’s ever wanted threatens to crumble. As her coronation date approaches, a series of suspicious and bloody events suggests that something sinister stirs in the whimsical halls of Wonderland. It’s up to Dinah to unravel the mysteries that lurk both inside and under the Palace before she loses her own head to a clever and faceless foe.

Part epic fantasy, part twisted fairy tale, this dazzling saga will have readers shivering as Dinahs furious nature sweeps Wonderland up in the maelstrom of her wrath. 

Familiar characters such as Cheshire, the White Rabbit, and the Mad Hatter make their appearance, enchanting readers with this new, dark take on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
