Right off the bat, this was my perfect bloody fairy tale! I wasn't sure what to expect from this, and honestly, I've seen the cover for years and didn't know what the heck was going on there! But man, oh man, I should have read this sooner!

This was pretty cool because it felt dystopianish but with magic and horror and a smidge of romance. I loved Alice so much—she was easy to connect with, and she was such a good MC. She helped, she killed, she protected, and she had a good heart. Hatch, my little murderious fiend, oh how my heart beats just for you. He was fierce and he was good, even though he wielded that axe like there was no tomorrow!

Overall, this is the type of horror book that I need more of. The writing and world were so well thought out, and I'm very much intrigued to see what will happen in book 2!
