Queen of Madness: Wicked Wonderland Duet (The Wicked Wonderland Duet)

This was written so well, I love all the little nods to Alice in Wonderland and the story was well paced, kept me constantly intrigued and delivered some excellent spice.I love a strong FMC and Onyx does not disappoint. She's does bad things for honorable reasons and I respect that. She is an absolute boss bxtch with deep vulnerabilities that she doesn't want to acknowledge or share. The way Ezekiel was obsessed with her makes complete sense cos I, too, am obsessed with her.All the different relationships within this story are beautiful, it's an excellent story of found family and I really enjoy that we get the occasional POVs from those characters too.I thought I guessed what the twist/cliffhanger would be but I did not and now I need to dive straight into the second book because I'm shook and I need a HEA. Pls pls pls let there be a HEA.

I went into this blind and as much as it was nothing like what I was expecting it was absolutely amazing.It feels just like the show Gotham but with an Alice in Wonderland vibe instead of a batman one.I already have the next one downloaded and am cutting this review short so that I can go read it right now.

This was my first by this author and I can tell you for a fact, I will be madder than the hatter by the time book two is out!! I am a huge Alice and wonderland fan so this book appealed to me soon and I seen it. Down the rabbit hole I went and I am not sure I’m ready to come back out!Our two leads are Onyx and Ezekiel, they are the perfect match to the chaos! Steamy, intense, and explosive one way or the other I see fire works and disaster!Onyx once a young smart beautiful soul, in a dark world but surrounded by love of her family! Is now a ruthless Queen who will stop at nothing for vengeance, revenge and blood shed. Though she is not as dark as she seems, she is a voice for women who have had theirs stolen! She rights wrongs, helps them anyway they need it and is always there.A quote comes to mind when I think of Onyx - “You can complain a rose has thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses”. She doesn’t let people close, she is beautiful to look at and even within to the right people. But come with intent to harm or take, she is brutally!Ezekiel the protector always, to his mum, his sister and now the bodyguard to Onyx. Though his intent with her is not those of a protective nature, he needs what she knows and how to get to them. Though for reasons we can’t ignore, as I’ve said he is the protector… so when his younger sister finds herself in trouble AGAIN he can do nothing but do as he must.Though the Queen, her family and what she does shocks him. He did not expect to fall under her spell, become obsessed and think differently about them in general.But he has a job to do, take them down from within and he has to succeed.Will Ezekiel be able to complete what he is told to do?Will he fall to far?Will the queens heart thaw?Will she kill him before he can succeed?OrWill the be late?Jump down the very same rabbit hole I did and find out…

There’s something about this that pulls you in but at the same time it’s hard to read too much at once. Onyx is 100% a mafia don and I love it!

I loved this! Was quite different from what I’ve read before, as in female mafia donna. Obsessed with Oynx she was strong, took no rubbish but adored the family around her. Could put this duet down, you knew something was going to go down because of what Ezekiel was doing, but it was just waiting for it. He’s so protective of her even more so out of his job! His sister annoyed me a little, she just seemed so outta touch with reality 🙄I really enjoyed the little Easter eggs towards Alice in Wonderland.

Queen of Madness is the first book in The Wicked Wonderland Duet, an Alice in Wonderland inspired Mafia Romance, and oh my freaking days! I literally have no words to describe how much I loved this book!Everyone's read Alice in Wonderland, right? Have you ever wondered what happened to turn the Queen of Hearts so cutthroat? What if she wasn't the villain you thought she was?Onyx Embros is the infamous Queen of Hearts. She's the head of a Mafia family that runs part of the city. She is wicked smart, totally deadly, and absolutely gorgeous!But her personal bodyguards are being taken out by the Murphy family in an effort to take her out.Enemies Kane is Onyx's newest bodyguard. However, he only takes the job after his sister crosses the Murphy family and the threaten to take her as payment for what they lost.This was such a freaking amazing read! It was extremely well written and I loved all the Easter eggs and references to the original story.The plot was amazing! It was fast paced and had me hooked from the very first page, and the suspense and twists it took kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.I absolutely loved all of the characters, and the chemistry between Onyx and Ezekiel was off the freaking charts! When they gave in to the desire between them it was super hot!But holy hell! That freaking cliffhanger! I was totally not expecting that, and so not prepared for it, it literally blew me away!I now desperately need the second book so I can find out what's going to happen to Onyx and Ezekiel next
