“We’re all mad here.”



It is a modern erotic version of Alice in Wonderland. Just like the original work, it is dreamlike and surreal.

I felt the beginning slow and I found myself skipping paragraphs. The pace picks up with the erotic scenes, impressions and events alternate rapidly, making less and less sense. As for the genre, it had to be like this, but I was skimming again.

The Red King was my favorite character. Alice really irritated me; she seemed to be on drugs even in her sober moments. But her confusion as she drifted between events was surprisingly well done.



Wade, Alice’s lover, made little appearance, which is really a deficiency of the story.

The erotica is weird and theatrical rather than hot, though I enjoyed the scene with the Red King.



Though the characters and the erotica are weak, the plot and the atmosphere are pretty good. Let’s say, it could be satisfying if you are in the mood for something light and bizarre.
On the left another man was handcuffed to the headboard. He writhed on the bed making whimpering noises, sounding as if he was in great agony to be just watching instead of participating. This man was so covered in dark body hair it seemed as if he was more animal than man. That fact, coupled with the desperate undulations he made trying to get near the women, made him look, to Alice, like a fuzzy caterpillar.
The man handcuffed to the bedpost to the right wasn’t so ambiguously anthropomorphic—his whole body was painted like a cat, a red and white striped one, with whiskers and dark charcoaled eyes. Even his cock had been painted with stripes.

Well this was different for sure. I know Alice has a surrealism and this surely has that. The surreal visit to the weirdest BDSM club in some strange dream sort of worked as we know it is based upon the original children's story by Lewis Carroll and it sort of worked but somehow i can't imagine this place being for real. So accepting this suspension of disbelief...here we have Alice who thinks she is looking for her love Wade.

As the story progresses it is obvious he is also her Dom and she has some experience with him in some aspects of BDSM scening. Here she is picked up by a chauffeur, a stranger and he leaves her at the entrance of an apparently run down and deserted building as he runs off into it. At this point all safety talks of stranger danger have still not kicked in and she runs in after him...is it a psychopath, or attack of the gang bang about to get her...no...she ends in someplace that would be at home in a Picasso/Dali painting. Surreal...that could be linked to eat me, drink me substances, t'which as children we are taught not to take from strangers...but then again the sexational events wouldn't have taken place would they? That is what most of us are reading it for anyway :D

Sex with strangers, some love the idea, some hate it, some dream and lust for such, others would see STI & danger to life and limb every step of the way.
This my dears is all fiction, fantasy, so surreal I could go with the flow and enjoyed the smexy scenes as aforementioned.
The mute masked man in the latex gear, I guessed, I suspect if you read it you will too. Here lies an important thing though, whatever you main persuasion, whether Dom/Domme or sub, there may be a switch need within each of us if only for trying out or for special occasions...as Wade tries to educate Alice into that next step.

So I actually liked this, and considered it for what it is, not reality for sure, and as such find it a very good 3.5 to borderline 4stars. And as we are taught in Maths that all .5 should round up...this therefore is 4stars from me.

I am a huge fan of Alice in Wonderland. I love everything to do with it! (Lol) So what could possibly be better than a modern, kinky, BDSM version? Nothing! I absolutly loved this! Definitly my style of commitment, hehe. My only complaint is I wish it were longer. It's great the length it is but I wanted more. :D

*** Oh! And I love the cover art! I'm a sucker for great cover art. :D

This story was just weird and I felt like Alice in the since that she had been drugged and had no clue what the hell was going on. I was more lost than she was. The attempt at BDSM was really quite lame. The ending was as confusing as the entire story and that frustrates me to not even understand a book.

I gave it a star and a half.

Completely predictable smut. I love Alice spin off stories but this was just blah. No draw, and pull for any of the scenes or characters. Alice is a blubbering Hot Mess. And I wasted my precious little time.

This being my sixth book in a row of Selena Kitt's (I'm trying to trim my ebook library down to size), I'm starting to notice that her sex scenes are basically all the same. Even with the BDSM elements added in Alice. I see so many reviewers saying that Kitt's books are a great go-to if you just want something quick and hot, but her scenes are simply not to my taste, at all.

A toss up on whether to rate it 3 or 4 stars, answered by thinking harder about it. I tend to skip sections where men are treated submissively, as it doesn't really interest me. The submissive male part was interesting enough to keep me reading, so I bump it up to 4 stars.

I rate short stories somewhat differently than longer works. I expect longer works to have depth, and etc. etc. I read shorter works for a quick fun read, and actually can penalize if I get too bogged down. bah, confused why I mention all that.

Ok, then. As you would expect from an Alice in Wonderland tale, this Alice was wacky strange ball of weird. Nice elements of BDSM. Kinda expected some play on "bigger" "smaller" to occur from eating/drinking, based on some other adult retellings of Alice, but it actually works better to not see the same thing repeated in a new version of the tale.

The female submissive parts were 3 or 4 stars, toss in submissive male part and I'd probably have rated this worse since I tend to skip. Don't care about that. Kept reading, wasn't bad, was even somewhat interesting, so that settles the rating on 4 stars.

Overall a wacky weird tale, but then Alice in Wonderland and derivatives almost always are.

Alice was the closest, of all the books in this fairytale series by Kitt, in relation to the actual fairytale... kooky too, just like the original.
Alice is instructed to go somewhere by her Dom boyfriend and it all gets really crazy. Towards the end of the novella I was pretty convinced it was all a dream (or she is on some crazy ass drugs).
The thing I DIDN'T like about this rendition was Alice. I really don't like weak women whose only purpose in life is to be dominated by a man. That's just weird to me. Yep, I'll have sex with anybody because my Dom boyfriend tells me too. Ugh, that is a very poor excuse for a life if you have to be told what to do in everything. Who ARE you??? I couldn't say that I liked the main male character Dom Wade 'cause all he really says is, "Say yes", and that is pretty much it, the whole book.
What I did like was the play on Alice in Wonderland, the original, especially the part (SPOILER) where Alice is getting down and dirty with three girls and the Red Queen turns up and screams, "She stole my tarts! Off with her head!" Too which Alice replies, "I didn't really steal them". HA!
Alice in Wonderland was a kooky story, this one is too... but this is the sexed up version. 3 kooky stars.

Can I go to Wonderland....Please!!

So this is about a girl named Alice who is in love with her boyfriend Wade.

Alice is a dreamer! She loves the world of BSDM that Wade has shown her and doesn't push him for a commitment. One day Wade tells her to be outside in 15 minutes and has a car waiting for her. The driver (white rabbit) takes her to Wonderland but feels that he is late. While in Wonderland, Alice has to be a submissive and follow the Red King and Queen's orders. She also has to be a Dom for a mystery man who doesn't speak (this scene is sooooo good!).

At the end she has to decide whether to be a part of the real world or reign in Wonderland with Wade forever....easy choice??

I've read quite a bit of Erotica, but this one just confused me. I expect that this is what the author was going for, since it's a retelling of Alice in Wonderland, done erotic style. However, for me it fell flat. There were role reversals, something that didn't jive with my impression of the BDSM lifestyle. I also didn't care for the rapid fire events of the evening, making it seem like there was just no plot to the story at all. I rounded up on the rating, because it was quite steamy and sensual, but it's more of a 2.5 star read for me, and one I will read only rarely.

What the hell was this? I feel like I took LSD or something. This was a super short story. Yes, the sex was hot, as I expected from Ms. Kitt. But where is the rest of it? It was so damn short I was just getting super aroused and it ENDED! WTF. Talk about a cock tease. Hrmph. I have a feeling all her fairy tale reinterpreted are going to be this short and a bloody cock tease. I want more.

This follows very loosely Alice in Wonderland but really could just as easily have been written without any Alice in Wonderland-related characters. The X-rated type Alice books never seem to have a good reason for the original characters, using them instead as sexual playthings that could have been almost anyone.

this book was pretty good. the story is incredibly detailed and the sex is pretty steamy it does however leave you wanting more the story probably could have been a little longer and more detailed but all in all it wasn't half bad. it was a great quick read.

Interesting.. not great but not bad.. so good. :) a bit of everything in a whirlwind. Humor, love, uncertaining, some BDSM, anticipation. You will never see Alice in just as "normal" anymore. It was a fun read enjoy.

This is definitely one of the weirdest story I had read in this series.

This is the only one that I couldn’t bring myself to recommend to others.

I think the author was on some drug induced trip when she wrote this. Lots of sex but STRANGE.
