Review: A Blade So Black

A Blade So Black by L.L. McKinney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alice meets Addison Hatta when she is attacked by a Nightmare. Since she is able to see it and him, he recruits her to become a Dreamwalker. She protects our world and Wonderland by killing Nightmares. She's in high school living a double life--here and in Wonderland. This causes trouble because time moves differently there than here. Mothers don't like it when daughters stay out all night.

Most of the story takes place in Wonderland. Alice starts stressing about her double life, but keeps sneaking out. Why she doesn't just tell her mother I don't know. This ends on a cliffhanger, unfortunately. I was hoping for a one and done retelling of Alice in Wonderland.
