"It just gets better and better. Really what to say about these that I haven't already. They are sinister and unique. You will never guess where anything is going or how it will end. The only thing I would critique is that Alice and Hatcher never seem to get a moments rest but also that means the story never lags.<br/><br/>Finally we were introduced to more povs which I enjoyed very much. The first story was an unexpected treat. I'm not sure if this is is last in the series but you do get a fair amount of closure. Still I wish for all of the characters to meet in the future so I would not say no to another story. *wink wink hint hint* Maybe a nice tea party.<br/><br/>Honestly though Alice and Hatchers relationship is so strangely organic I don't think I would care if this story even had a plot as long as I could read about them together, forever. Hatcher is still mad and sweet as ever. Alice continues to grow in her confidence. We got to meet a new character who I instantly fell into the story line like she had always been there. So again I wouldn't mind in the least if this kept going."
"Lost book, mermaids tail, red queen. I was to read the one that looks like red riding hood on the cover. "
