We Drug Alice into 2026. Wonderland waits... but Neverland calls.
These reviews are from early access book clubs.
Alice is everything: sharp, funny, broken, dangerous, and so real it hurts.
- Theo Ramirez, San Diego, CA - Graphic Designer
If you love gorgeous prose, eerie magic, and a heroine who refuses to behave, this is your new obsession.
Atmospheric, addictive, and beautifully written - this story grabs your heart in the first chapter and refuses to let go.
Alice is one of the most compelling dark-fantasy heroines in years: sharp, funny, vulnerable, and utterly unforgettable.
A haunting world dripping with magic, mystery, and emotion. Perfect for readers who crave immersive, lyrical fantasy with a dark undercurrent.
Every chapter deepens the spell. This is the kind of book readers get obsessed with.
The shop breathes. The bottles whisper. The dreams remember her name.
Alice Whelan has always lived half-awake, half-haunted - collecting dead moths, orphan keys, and the kind of secrets you only touch in the dark. But when a glass bottle appears on her windowsill after a dream that feels too real, too sharp, too familiar, her world begins to split at the seams.
The walls of Hallowed Grounds Café start to stir. Shadows stretch toward her. The air shifts. And every time she closes her eyes, the black-sand shore of a place she does not remember calls her back.
Worse, someone is waiting for her there.
A man with storm-bright eyes.
A past she cannot recall.
A truth her bones already know.
As the boundary between waking and dreaming collapses, Alice must decide which world she belongs to - and what she is willing to become to survive it. Because the bottles keep finding her. The dreams keep deepening. And Neverland, cracked and hungry, is not done with her yet.
Atmospheric, addictive, and beautifully written, this dark contemporary fantasy is perfect for readers who loved
Ninth House, The Starless Sea, Addie LaRue, The Cruel Prince, and The Atlas Six -
stories of magic woven through modern life, secrets that refuse to stay buried, and heroines who fight the dark with wit, grit, and unbreakable will.
A haunting, immersive world that feels alive
A sharp, sarcastic, unforgettable heroine
A slow-burn emotional pull with a mysterious love interest
Lyrical, atmospheric prose with gothic edges
Dreams that bleed into reality - and demand a price
Found family threads through Clairese and Ezra
Magic built from memory, desire, and danger
A satisfying ending with a door left open for Book 2
It's rare to find writing that feels this alive. Every page breathes.
- Sophia Lancaster, Boston, MA - College LibrarianThe dream sequences? Actual perfection. Haunting, beautiful, unforgettable.
- Elena Torres, Santa Fe, NM - Fine Arts InstructorNeverland is one of the best fantasy settings I've read in years. Dark, weird, dangerous - I loved it.
- Patrick Knox, Kansas City, MO - ParamedicI haven't been this pulled into a world since Addie LaRue. Truly mesmerizing.
- Jenna Marshall, Tampa, FL - Travel PhotographerAlice's voice is a masterpiece. Sarcastic, exhausted, magical, and honest.
