Chasing Rabbits

Chasing Rabbits

Erin Bedford2018
No one can be trusted in the Underground. Not even yourself. Always the rebel without a cause, Kat gave her hometown the literal finger on her way out the door, planning never to set foot in it again. Until now. A mysterious voice is determined to drive her insane, and Kat finds herself coming home to save her sanity. Bound and determined to find out where the voice is coming from, Kat gets sucked into a world that will literally tear her apart. The Fae world is nothing like she read about. Dark and seductive, it will try to convince her to stay by offering a mystery for her to untangle. She will soon discover that the mystery needing solved isn't the one she has been chasing but the one inside herself. With a talking rabbit and grumpy gnome as her guide, Kat must make it out of this new Wonderland before they try to keep her.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect going into this book but it was Alice in Wonderland themed and also free on amazon for the kindle app. If I'm being honest, most of the books I get on there have gone unread so far just because I'm not a big fan of reading e-books - I'd rather have the touch and smell of a real book - but I ended up picking this up on a whim shortly after finishing another book that was set in Wonderland. I actually really enjoyed the character that Kat was but I did predict the ending around the time that we figured out what had happened to the Prince's ex-fiancee. It was rather predictable for me but I would have been pissed had my guess been wrong because then nothing would have added up. I loved the fact that Erin added in the Cheshire Cat humanized, it was quite entertaining to read about Kat's reaction and even I probably would have swooned over him had I been a character in the book, granted so would everyone else. There is a few problematic scenes in the book, so I'm going to state that if near-rape triggers you, skip past the chapter where she falls asleep after entering the maze. The way she handles it afterward is rather odd to me, but she probably just didn't want to have a meltdown right there in the Underground. Overall, it was a really good book and Erin is a fantastic writer.
