Family by Cameron Jace

By Pamelascott

How far would you go to save your family?

Family stands for 'Gathering'

In search of her real family, Alice receives a mysterious invitation to a dark place she thought she'd never visit again.

Sometimes for 'Loyalty'

Little does she know of those invited along. Now she has to figure out real friends from foes.

Always for 'Sacrifice'

And the only way out is to sacrifice one of her true family members - if not herself.

Will Alice figure out her host's intentions? Will she figure out who the Pillar really is? The Dude? Jack? Can she stop the Wonderland War? What is the Wonderland War even about?

And what about the 'Wonder' note the Pillar gave Alice a while ago?

I have a soft spot for Alice in Wonderland and really love retelling's and different versions, the darker the better. I was a huge fan of the first few books in the series and the first one remains among my favourite books of all time. Sadly, my enjoyment of the series has waned in the later books. I still have a few to read and am going through them just to tick them off. There's apparently going to be another season which I don't plan to read. I'm sad that such a promising series has gone so downhill. For me, it's a case of just too much, the books are no longer as original and entertaining and other author's such as Christina Henry have done a much better job of reinventing Alice. Family is much the same as other books in the series with Alice and Wonderland Monsters talking nonsense and acting crazy. I'm just a bit tired of it all after seven books.
