About the author
Joanne Ganci
20 books91 followersJoanne Ganci is a hopeless romantic that more than anything wants to bring joy to the world. Whether that be through the words on the pages of her books or a friendly gesture to a stranger.
She's a bit quirky and rather anti-social, but through the characters that demand to have their stories told she is working on cracking out of her shell and emerging as a semi-dysfunctional pterodactyl. Bet you thought that was going to say butterfly. Nope, that'd be normal and Joanne is quite the opposite.
Fueled by the love of her family, she embarked on the journey as an author and somehow hasn't panicked her way into quitting. Let's hope she keeps the crazy tamped down and continues on her journey.

Back in Wonderland and things are heating up. Im not talking about all the steamy sexual scenarios (and theres plenty FF, MM, MF and theyre all very hot!) but with The Queen of Diamonds. Blue (FMC) is still trying to master her powers and her harem, A new princess turns up with a way that can help them, Fiona (White Rabbit) has more family rock up and a traitor turns up with information - Kayaan. As well as Kalilah (Queen of Hearts), Devland (Mad Hatter), Ari (Cheshire Cat) and King Cato. All the characters you'd expect to find in Alice in Wonderland but these ones are definitely more for an adult crowd. Its a joyride of a series and this was a brilliant read

Book 2 was even better than book 1. Below are my thoughts on the good and the not as good.
What I Liked:
*Blue's character arc. It has been fun and satisfying to experience Blue's growth.
*The feeling that Blue is central to the romantic relationships. In another book co-written by this author, I didn't love how the main female protagonist felt secondary or even not important, romantically. In this book, the author ensures that the reader knows how important Blue is to all of her lovers. This helped me to not get the jealousy knot (that awful feeling in my belly when a romantic partner is with someone other than the main character).
*The addition on females in the harem. M/M is really popular in the RH world but many seem to not prefer F/F. I love that the author not only added it but made it feel natural and not forced.
*This feels like Alice in Wonderland but is creative and different. It takes a lot of talent, in my experience and opinion, to give the same vibe but in a way that doesn't feel like a retelling.
*The writing and editing. The writing flows and there were few mistakes. This author consistently provides well written and edited books.
What I Didn't Like:
*This is just a personal preference thing and very unimportant but I am just not into certain types of intimacy (for example; pain for pleasure, submission, punishment). This kind of thing won't ruin a read for me, usually and it didn't with WfW.
I would absolutely recommend this book for those who enjoy steamy RH books but this is not a stand alone so please start with book 1.

Wow
This is the second book in the series and I loved this one more than the first!
The story took me on a wild ride and through every emotion possible. I loved the characters and the uniqueness of it all. The way that Joanne Ganci manages to ensnare, enthrall and entrap me straight away is magic and worthy of the Mad Hatter himself. I was gripped from the start and I still am gripped after I've finished it. You know when you've finished a brilliant book that's captured your imagination? And you cant stop thinking of what happened and what the characters did? Yeah that's me right now. The way I ran headfirst down that rabbit hole and sat there and watched what Blue and her friends got up to, boy did they get up to some serious fun and games!!!
Cannot shout about this book enough.
Love love LOVED it!!!

Blue in Wonderland was my first step into fantasy romance, it was so amazing that you know I had to read book 2! The world building in this is masterful. It keeps you on the edge of your seat through out. Joanne Ganci's true strength is giving us characters that have flaws that make them stronger. This series has taken me out of my comfort zone and I hope to never go back. I don't want to spoil anything so giving specifics is complicated because of the intricacy used in drawing out this plot! Let's just say I can't wait for Queens of Wonderland and that Happily Ever After I know, Joanne will give us... in spades! <3

A Ride You Don't Want to End
This book was wow. It was so good. Insanely well written with a story that just instantly hooks you, dragging you straight to the finish line. We had some new characters introduced and had our hearts torn apart and put back together due to a certain cat. And we were introduced to Bill, the oddest most foul mouth talking lizard I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I loved him, and everyone so much. This was once again, another insanely fantastic story and I thank Joanne for ripping my heart out.

A retelling you don't want to end!
Normally I get bored with retellings because authors don't change enough of their characters from the source material and then it feels like you are just reading the same thing. That is not my problem here! The characters are so complex and captivating, the story is one wild ride, and these cliffhangers makes me wonder if I'll survive the drop from them ;)

What a great continuation from Blue in Wonderland! Thia book picks up right were Blue in Wonderland left off. It is absolutely jam packed with action!!! Of course there is plenty of steam as well! The book is well written and we get to learn more about the people in Wonderland and learn more about Blue as she comes into her power. I can not wait to see how the next book plays out and can not wait to see what happens next for Blue!

A fantastic addition to the Blue in Wonderland series! There’s never a dull moment, it’s so completely engaging and captivating that it's impossible to put down. It’s dark, the concept original, and the steamy scenes wonderfully written. A fantastic read from beginning to end and one I highly recommend.

Wow! Loving this series!
This book takes you on a wild ride - one you wont want to get off.
Blue is still trying to learn herself and where she really fits in. The other characters surrounding her all seem to mesh really well and the chemistry between them is hawt.
This is an amazing read and i cannot wait for the next.

Not sure where to begin....
I am completely in love with this Alice story. Blue is amazing and sweet and pretty bada$$. Her harem is just as amazing as she is. This book gives you more answers about Blue and her magic. Ari finally does a little growing up and Cato learns a bit of a lesson. Also can I just say that I'm a little in love with Kye....excited to see how this ends.

Defeating the Diamond Queen isn't going to be easy and Blue has the fate of wonderland on her shoulders. This series will suck you down the rabbit hole and have you on the edge of your seat. It's unpredictable, has amazing character interactions, and it's darker than you would expect from most of the retellings you have read. You won't be disappointed, I recommend this to everyone.

Amazing!
I'm in love with this series! Unforgettable in every way- Wonderland is honestly magical. Kalilah and her court, Blue, Alita, even Bill- are amazingly well developed and Ganci has definitely gained herself a HUGE fan. I advise anyone even possibly thinking about this series to dive in. It's incredible! Now on to Book 3!

Mind blowing!
This is not your grandma's version of Alice!! Totally different than any other rework of the fairy tale. Its funny, dark, a perfect mix of twisted & fast burn RH. It does have f/f & m/m but not over done!! Definite read for any Alice fan!!

An amazing read, I didnt want to put it down, and was sad to see it end. Joanne has a way of telling a story that just pulls you in and keeps you wanting more. I cant wait for the next book, it cant come soon enough.

This book took the Blue in Wonderland Series up a notch. I love retellings and this is one of the best I've read yet. There's just enough triggers to give this book edginess. I absolutely fell in love with the world building and character development this book brings after book 1.

Blue isn't just my favorite color anymore!!!
This book has so much action in it, in every way! Just when I thought it couldn't get better, it totally did! This harem is probably one of my favs! I think I might even have a crush on Fiona!!

WOW! What an amazing book. I am just loving this series. Blue finally learns that she is wanted and loved and gets better with her magic. Add in an unlikely ally and the fight begins. And that cliffhanger OMG! I can't wait for the next book to find out who was in the dungeon and who is Rory.

The second book in this really great series. Just from start to end I absolutely could not get enough of all these characters. The storyline for this us great and I just loved it all.
