~ My Reading Radar #1 : Wonderland Academy ~

HI Lovelies

So I decided to start a new type of post which is me to keep track of all the awesome books or series I come across, but cannot really afford to get at the moment because my bookshelf is currently overflowing and to be honest I probably have enough reading material to last me the rest of my life plus a the next one! 

It is not only for books that are going to be released, but also for books that I discover while traveling through the blogsphere old or new. 

But before we get to bookish goodstuff... How gorgeous is the feature banner... It was designed for me by the awesome Silvia @ Darkest Sins. If you need anything designed for your blog or for your book... she is your girl... She also revamped my blog to look as amazing as it does!! #MuchLoveForSilvia

So I found this book in a recommended new release email I receive from Bookbub. 
Two things drew me right in...
A) I love Melanie Karsak 
B) What a gorgeous cover right?? 

I read Melanie's Steampunk Chasing the Star Garden (Although I have not finished this series as it got lost in my TBR pile) and totally loved it! Note to self... I need to go re-read this book and finish this series *adds to TBR pile* 

Have you have noticed that 'Academy' type books do seem to be the latest trend with books and series and I quite like it to be honest! 

So let's get down to the good stuff <3

Welcome to Wonderland Academy. Don't lose your head.

Getting into Wonderland Academy is easy:

You must be a little mad.

You must follow the white rabbit.

You must find the key to enter Wonderland.

You must not be named Alice or risk being beheaded by order of the Queen of Hearts.

We might have an issue with that last one.

My name may be Alice, but Wonderland Academy is everything my real life isn't. Who wouldn't want to learn how to ride a jabberwocky, train with a vorpal sword, cast spells using a teacup, or shapeshift into a fairy? As long as no one figures out my real name, I should be fine.

The only problem? Aden, the Queen of Hearts' son, is quickly becoming my best friend. And then there's Corbin. Brooding, surly, tattooed, and definitely not my type, I can't stop thinking about him. But Corbin has secrets of his own, and Wonderland and secrets don't mix.

How I'm going to pass my classes and protect my secret like my life depends on it is beyond me. But I better find a way. Because in Wonderland, no Alice is safe.

Wonderland Academy re-imagines the fantastical world of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland for a fresh, new adventure. Combining whimsy, magic, and a splash of steampunk, New York Times best-selling author Melanie Karsak invites you into this beautifully re-envisioned fairy tale adventure.

Wonderland Academy is a college-level academy novel. It contains a slow-burn (not rh) romance. The novel is clean aside from mild language. This is Book 1 in a planned trilogy. Book 1 ends on a cliffhanger (Frodo didn't reach Mount Doom in a day, after all).

Trigger Warning: This novel also includes references to a school shooting.
