Sinossi
Alice non ha mai avuto una casa. Da sempre, lei e la madre Ella sono perennemente in fuga, perennemente in cerca di qualcuno che le ospiti per sfuggire alla sfortuna nera che le perseguita. Sullo sfondo la figura affascinante della nonna, Althea Proserpine, che Alice non ha mai conosciuto e che Ella non vuole nemmeno nominare: misteriosa e seducente autrice di una raccolta di racconti neri fuori catalogo ma ricercatissimi dai collezionisti, vive da anni reclusa ad Hazel Wood, una villa celata in mezzo a un bosco ignoto, sfuggendo alla curiosità dei fan. Quando Ella viene rapita, ad Alice non resta che andare alla disperata ricerca di dove sia Hazel Wood.

It's time for another unpopular opinion review! This book was literally the single biggest reading disappointment of the year for me. I really wanted to love this story.

Finally, I had an unpopular opinion………...but in the fun way! Honestly, even though hating the books that everyone loves makes me feel #quirky and #unique and dare I say...not like other girls, it gets old. Hating the books your friends love = no fun. https://emmareadstoomuch.wordpress.co... Liking the Leggi tutto
4.5* Thoughts tk at some point when I have time, sorry!
ARC provided by Flatiron Books in exchange for an honest review. “Once upon a time there was a beautiful queen who thought words were stronger than anything. She used them to win love and money and gifts. She used them to carry her across the world.” Let me just start this off by saying th
My mother was raised on fairy tales, but I was raised on highways. Ever since Alice could remember, she's been on the run with her mother from bad luck. I remembered less from my own life than I did from the books I read. Alice's grandmother was the author of The Hazel Wood - a hauntin
3 Stars. Not my favorite book I’ve ever read, but still enjoyable. I don’t have particularly strong feelings about this book. The writing was fine. The characters were okay. The world was probably the most interesting element of the story, but nothing amazing in my opinion. I really enjoyed how the s Leggi tutto
"Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt." You know those Disney princess fairytales, the ones where the damsel in distress is saved by Prince Charming and they get married and live happily ever after? Yeah, this isn't that story. Think of the old school Brother's Grimm fairytales, and then imagin Leggi tutto
