"The fantasy series I've been waiting for my whole life."
—Angie Thomas, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Hate U Give
Alice must save Wonderland from itself in A Crown So Cursed, the long-awaited third book in L.L. McKinney's Nightmare-Verse series.
Alice and her crew are doing their best to recover from the last boss battle, but some of them keep having these. . . dreams: visions of a dark past—and an even darker future. Sadly, the evil in Wonderland may not be as defeated as they'd hoped.
Attacked by Nightmares unlike any they've ever seen, Alice will have to step between the coming darkness and the mortal world once more. But this time is different. This time, the monsters aren't waiting for her on the other side of the Veil.
They're in her own back yard.
"A breakout author." —Entertainment Weekly

      Alice Kingston is back and ready for the ultimate showdown in the shadows of a war-torn Wonderland. When new types of Nightmares start to rise up on Earth, Alice and her friends and family find themselves in increasing danger. Nothing can purge these Fiends--and they can take on different forms, which means Alice can't trust anyone. After she's forced to return to Wonderland in order to save her mother and Nana K, Alice's world is turned topsy-turvy when she's reunited with other Dreamwalkers and directed to the White Queen's stronghold in Legracia. There, she learns more about her heritage and connection to Wonderland, while also confronting her feelings for a potential boo and facing the internal fears that keep her from breaking through the Looking Glass and embracing all of who she is. It's a lot for a human teenager, on top of trying to save multiple worlds. The story is packed full of action from the very first chapter, and there are subtle, well-done nods to Lewis Carroll's tales. With such a fast pace, however, some of the threads of the story get lost and are not picked back up again. Still, the excitement of new antagonists and a new beginning for Alice creates a longing for more adventures. Hopefully this won't end as a curious dream: The author's acknowledgments tease a possible return to McKinney's Wonderland. A fitting finale for a soulful and satisfying series. (Fantasy. 14-18)
