Allison Shatters the Looking-Glass (Harem of Hearts #3) by C.M. Stunich

Allison Shatters the Looking-Glass (Harem of Hearts #3) by C.M. Stunich
SUMMARY

I'm so fucking scared right now.
No, not just scared—I'm terrified.
And if you're reading this, you should be, too.

I fell through the Looking-Glass; I got back home.
But get this: I didn't come alone. Oh, and it doesn't feel like home anymore.
Unlike Alice in the original story, this is not my Wonderland.

In the original story, the Walrus and the Carpenter didn't follow Alice back.
In that story, she didn't bring her harem of lovers with her to meet Dad.
Mom, Dad, meet my nine boyfriends; one of them's a faerie who foretells the future—is that what I'm supposed to say?

Back in Underland, things are even worse.
Betrayal, heartbreak, and death … that's all that's waiting for us in Castle Heart.
I'm "the Alice", bringer of prophecy, and I'm starting to fall for all nine men in my life.

So, can I stop the chaos that's rolling in on black wings?
If you're reading this, can you help me, please?
Save the world, get the guys, and give me my happy ending.

MY REVIEW

The end of the story.

One major plus of these books are their strange and eye-catching bookcovers.

 

Allison and the Torrid Tea Party (Harem of Hearts #2) by C.M. Stunich

Allison and the Torrid Tea Party (Harem of Hearts #2) by C.M. Stunich
SUMMARY

Holy fucking hearts.
Did you just read that?!
If you did, I need your advice.

I met fallen angel princes; I met a Savage Duke; I met a Cheshire Cat.
And remember—how could you possibly forget—I'm the fabled Alice from the prophecy.
Just a twisted, dark version of the girl in Lewis Carroll's old books.

Except in those books, there was a happy ending.
In those books, Alice wasn't dating nine very different, very beautiful men.
But now that I've met the King of Hearts and the Mad Hatter, I'm not sure who the real bad guys are.

I'm the only one who can turn Underland back into Wonderland again.
But if I have a chance to escape the blood, the death, and the intrigue in this place, should I take it?
I'm Allison Liddell, and I've got a choice to make: stay here and fight the darkness, defeat the Anti-Alice, and survive the Torrid Tea Party ... or run.

Tweedledee says I can change the world.
So if you're reading this, will you help me decide what I should do?
I want to go home, but I can't leave this place as broken as I found it, now can I?

MY REVIEW

"My Queen of Hearts," the King says, and there's this break in his voice that tells me all I need to know. I was right: I bruised his ego. He fucking wants me, doesn't he? "I told you that you were meant to be mine."
He takes off down the hall before I can figure out a retort.
Doesn't matter anyway, because all I can think to say is: no, you were meant to be mine.

Allison will finally meet the crazy King.

"Did the king order you beheaded?" I ask, narrowing my eyes. I've read the book; I've seen the movie. Isn't that what the Queen of Hearts always says? Off with their heads?
"He said it, but he doesn't mean it," Tee growls as Dee wheels in a cart and heels the door closed with his boot. "He likes our pain and suffering too much to end it."

Still she tries to save the Underland because of the Prophecy.
Still she has loyal men who follow.
Still she is not sure who to trust.
Still she organizes mad tea parties.
Still she is thinking of going back through the Looking-Glass and forget about Underland.

Her all-male harem so far includes:
Dee and Tee the angel princes,
The Red King,
The Cheshire Cat,
The White Rabbit,
The March Hare,
The Mad Hatter,
The Caterpillar,
The Duke of Northumbria.

All of them have special powers and some of them can transform. To be honest I was sometimes lost with all these characters.
And everything is weird and weirder than the first book which I think that I liked more because it was based on an original idea.
In Allison and the Torrid Tea Party everything and everyone are weird for the shake of being weird without making much sense. That is the reason it took me almost one month to finish the book.

Alison's Adventures in Underland (Harem of Hearts #1) by C.M. Stunich

Alison's Adventures in Underland (Harem of Hearts #1) by C.M. Stunich 
SUMMARY 

Um. Um. Um.
Are you reading this?
If you are, I need your help.

I was at a party; I was running; I fell.
And get this—this is the part you'll never believe—I fell down a rabbit hole.
Like Alice in those old books.

Except in those books, there wasn't blood everywhere.
In those books, the characters weren't all male, attractive, and interested in me.
Forget everything you know about the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, the March Hare …

This isn't Wonderland; this is Underland.
Violence, sex, drugs, and magic … that's all there is in this place.
There's me, Allison, and there are the men that want me, the enemies that hunt me, and the darkness that's quickly rolling in.

And only I can stop it.
So if you're reading this, will you help me?
Please. I just want to escape this place and go … home.

MY REVIEW

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud because
No cloud was in the sky.
No birds were flying overhead -
There were no birds to fly.

Hahaha...Okay this is supposed to be a prophecy.

Well, if you love Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, good for you! But this book is only making fun of Alice in Wonderland!

There is Allison-who-isn't-Alice and after she witnesses the cold-hearted murder of one her classmates and she get splattered with his blood during a party; she will follow his murderer who has tattoes and bunny ears. Then she will fall inside a large and suspicious hole and she will land in the Underland which is full of half naked gorgeous male creatures/monsters.

Allison will basically salivate for every male she meets including
the twins Tee and Dee (aka Drink Me and Eat Me),
Rab (aka White Rabbit),
Lar (aka the Caterpillar),
North (aka the Duke of Northumbria) and
Chesh (aka the Cheshire Cat).

On her way to meet the King of Hearts, she will drink spiked tea, travel with pirates and eat soup made from giant birds.
Allison has a tragic past. Basically she has the time of her life and she is not sure if she wants to go back home.

This is a very naughty book! Very humorous, very interesting, very different!
I am looking forward to next book in the series. I have a feeling that King of Hearts is not that bad. We will see...
