Queen of Hearts
By Colleen Oakes
My biggest issue with the book was that I had a hard time engaging in the story and I struggled to finish it. I probably would have stopped if it wasn't an ARC. I did like the idea of the of the backstory of the Queen of Hearts. How she become the evil Queen of Hearts, but to be the book dragged on never really picking up. I was hoping this book would be like Splintered (by A.G. Howard) but nope it wasn't anything like it. Pros: Does have some interesting takes on traditional Wonderland characters. Such as her brother is the Mad Hatter and is actually crazy. Not romanced focus (per say) it's more on becoming queen of Wonderland, her daddy issues, and jealously of new found sister. Cons: Could have done more, been more creative, been more wacky (it's Wonderland for Pete's sake). Especially since it is written from the villains side there is potential there for a good story. Note: that cover is so cute using the queen of hearts card. *Thank you to Edelweiss and HarperTeen for the opportunity to read and review this book.

War of the Cards (Queen of Hearts)
By Colleen Oakes
This is the last book in the trilogy! It's really cool and filled with a lot of action as Dinah wages a war against the King of Hearts. The deaths of the many people she killed are put on her shoulders. She struggles with betrayal and heartache.

Igraine The Brave
By Cornelia Funke
I clung to every word of the audio version of this book for hours on a three day car ride. I took the ride twice. This book was amazing both times, with an exquisite vocabulary and a great plot overall! Igraine grew up in a very powerful family of sorcerers. They live in a magical castle that spews fire and own singing magic books. The only problem is, Igraine has absolutely NO INTENTION of being a wizard when she grows up. She'd rather be a proper knight! Just before her birthday, her parents are suddenly turned into pigs on accident! Igraine has to go on a quest to get giant hairs, which will turn her parents back into-well-parents! Along the journey she meets the Sorrowful Knight of the Mount of Tears, a knight who is haunted by his failure. He agrees to escort her on her dangerous mission back home. Only, when Igraine gets home, she'll have to use every knightly bone in her body to protect the singing books from someone more dangerous then she could ever imagine... --BKS reviews
