It started off promising. I liked the first half of the book and didn't mind the dark themes throughout.
I just couldn't connect emotionally to the characters to care about their journey which I found frustrating as I really wanted to like this this book sounded right up my alley but somewhere in the middle of the book I just got bored and just wanted the story to end.
I realize that my review is very vague but I don't wanna give anything away and leave it for others to make up their own mind about this, unfortunately, it just left me feeling underwhelmed by this retelling though I did enjoy the interaction between Alice and Thatcher.

"The blurb and the reviews illustrated on the book's cover should've been a dead giveaway on how dark it was going to be ... no kidding!!
I thought it would be a slow-burn horror that builds over time, nope, straight off the bat, to holy crap! and I know or well sense it's only gonna get worse down the rabbit hole, not in a bad way, in what way? I'm choosing to remain open-minded and read on ..."
