Access Instantly Down The Rabbit Hole (In Death, #41.5) Penned By J.D. Robb Shared As Paperbound

don't normally like reading books with stories by several different authors, but this one had at least one story I wanted to read, a novella of the Eve Dallas series.
As it turned out all but one of the stories were superb, and that one wasn't bad, I now have some new authors that I am going to look for to read, will be posted at sitelink www, booksnkisses. com .

NUMBER OF HEARTS:/
“Curiouser and curiouser!” Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
“We're all mad here, ” Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Wonderment in Death by J, D. Robb:Get ready for it, This was my first J, D. Robb read waiting for the GASPS, I thoroughly enjoyed this story, While the who done it storyline was easy to know who done it, the why behind it was a tad bit mad, If you are a J, D. Robb fan you will love this book, Now I need to find the time to catch up on whatbooks before this one

Alice and the Earl in Wonderland by Mary Blayney: This was a cute story.
Again, I have never read anything by Ms, Blayney. I am very intrigued by the world of Time Travel that she has created, I really enjoyed Weston and Alices story, I will be checking out Ms, Blayneys other stories in this series,

iLove by Elaine Fox: Loved this story!!! Jeremy and Claire are great, And they face an issue that most people have to deal with now, Technology!!! I really enjoyed this story a lot,

A True Heart by Mary Kay McComas: I am on the fence about this one, I was a bit confused about the story and how it fit with the theme of the anthology, Not that it was not a good story, It just didnt feel very Wonderlandy to me,

Fallen by R, C. Ryan: Loved this story, I am a sucker for a Highlander love story, Colin and Beth are great together, I want to know more about how their life turns out, Which leads me to my only issue with this story, The main reason that Beth is in Scotland, I would have liked her to address that,

If you are looking for a fun read and the possibility of finding a new author or two, And you are willing to go on a journey that might just leave you mad, I would say you need to grab a copy of Down the Rabbit Hole and see what wonders away you,

“Wonderment in Death” In Death, Book,by J. D. Robb
At first glance, the deaths of Marcus and Darlene Fitzwilliams is an openandshut case of murder/suicide, But when Eve Dallas takes on the case as a favor to a friend, the very downtoearth lieutenant finds herself navigating a world of spirits, mediums, and poisonous tea parties to hunt down a killer who has twisted Lewis Carrolls classic for his own deadly purposes.


J. D. Robb has blended Alice in Wonderland with the In Deathverse in a most wonderfully imaginative way, “Wonderment in Death” is a fastmoving hunt for a mad killer who targets his griefstricken prey both for profit and pleasure, It is fascinating to see Eve navigate a case thats riddled with Alice in Wonderland allusions, Its completely at odds with her character, but she handles it like a pro with the help of Roarke, Peabody, Louise, and others, of course.
The story itself is twisted, yet highly entertaining, and I loved that even in novella format, Ms, Robb seamlessly weaves in Eves personal connections, Theres a lot to love about “Wonderment in Death, ” Fans of the In Death series are in for a real treat!


“Alice and the Earl in Wonderland” by Mary Blayney
The new Earl of Weston is desperate to save his estate, but more importantly, he wants to win the hand of Miss Alice Kemp.
Fortunately for him, a magical coin sends Weston and Alice tumbling through time to the wonderland that isLondon, If Weston plays his cards right, hell find the answers that can save both his estate and his love life,

“Alice and the Earl in Wonderland” is a sweet story of two lovers who get a new outlook on life when they time travel two hundred years into the future.
Author Mary Blayney makes the romance work by showing the already solid connection between Weston and Alice, Love isnt their problem societys strict rules are, Alices parents are divorced, which is scandalous in, and she doesnt wish to have Weston ostracized by his association with her, Both she and Weston learn a lot as they visit the twentyfirst century, their newfound knowledge helping them solve their problems, I liked “Alice and the Earl in Wonderland,” but I wish I could have connected to the characters better, Most of the story is watching Weston and Alice marvel at life in, which doesnt leave much room for character development, Still, I look forward to reading “Amy and the Earls Amazing Adventure” in the Dead of Night anthology so I can see what happened to the characters who switched places with Weston and Alice during their time travel adventure.



“iLove” by Elaine Fox
Macy is in love with her boyfriend, Jeremy, but she believes hes more in love with his phone than with her.
She finally hits her limit and dumps him, but before he can go after her, Jeremy finds himself sucked into his phone, where he must win back Macys love through a dating app if he hopes to find a way out into the real world again.


“iLove” was an interesting, incredibly relevant story that emphasizes the importance of human connection, People are attached to their smartphones more and more, and I loved how Elaine Fox took that on in her story, Jeremy is a genuinely good guy, but he isnt the best of boyfriends, more absorbed in his phone than in the woman he is dating its easy to see why Macy is frustrated with him.
Theres a slight Alice in Wonderland connection in this one, but mostly “iLove” is a story of second chances and the power of human contact.
Its interesting, unique, and I look forward to reading more of Ms, Foxs work.


“A True Heart” by Mary Kay McComas
Costume shopping goes incredibly wrong or right, depending on your point of view for Elise when a supernatural being takes her on a doozy of a tour through her life.
“A True Heart” is a fastpaced, intriguing story that perhaps owes more to A Christmas Carol than Alice in Wonderland.
Elise has been badly hurt in the past, and because of this shes formed a hard shell around her heart, Because author Mary Kay McComas shows how deeply vulnerable Elise is, shes a very likeable, interesting, flawed heroine, When her supernatural guide takes her through various changes and scenes from her life, Elise begins to get a clearer picture of herself and how the walls shes built have affected not only her life, but the lives of those around her.
Theres a bittersweet quality to most of “A True Heart,” but I found it touching, Theres heartbreak, healing, and promise in this tale and though it can be a bit bizarre in parts, this works for the story overall.
“A True Heart” is has a lot of emotion packed into one novella, and I finished the story a wellsatisfied reader,


“Fallen” by R, C. Ryan
Softhearted Beth Campbell is determined to win her aunts approval and a place in her newlymerged company by convincing a Scottish recluse to sell his land to her client.
But when she hits her head while enroute to the Highlands, Beth finds herself in a world of magic and intrigueand falling for a sexy Highland warrior.


“Fallen” is a fairytale for adults that is sure to charm readers, I adored Beth and Colin and was easily swept away by the magic R, C. Ryan weaves into this lovely romance, Beth is out of sorts when she finds herself in eighteenth century Scotland, at the home of a laird who tempts her like no other man has before.
Her attraction to Colin Gordon is instant, but theres something

deeply wrong with his home, People are flashing in and out of animal form, theres a plot to kill Colin that Beth must thwart, and her grandmothers legend of the Beast of the Highlands seems to be unfolding before her very eyes.
Theres so much to unpack and enjoy about “Fallen” that I wish the story were longer, Beth and Colins romance is both sensual and sweet, but its also a bit rushed and the ending felt hurried, I wish I could have learned more about the curse upon Colin and it would have been great if we could have explored the magical side of the story further as well.
Still, as it stands “Fallen” is an excellent story I thoroughly enjoyed,


Down the Rabbit Hole contains a wide range of tales, so theres something for everyone, Aside from “Wonderment in Death,” the Alice in Wonderland connections in the anthology are tenuous at best, This is a pity, because Lewis Carrolls beloved tale is rife with fantastical elements that would have been fun to see played up more.
In Death fans will want Down the Rabbit Hole for “Wonderment in Death” alone, and the story is definitely worth it.
But whether or not youre a J, D. Robb fan, the anthology as a whole is unique and well worth the read,


FTC Disclosure: I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review, This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review, Meeeeh. Alice in Wonderland is overdone, and the In Death story doesn't have any spark in it, and I'm pretty sure I'll forget about it.
I didn't have an interest in any of the other short stories, so this book was a bust for me, Wonderment in Death by JD Robbstars

It's Eve and Roarke, You need it. Need it now. lol I love everything about this series and getting a tasty little treat with a side of woowoo is always a delight, It's a quick little murder mystery as Eve and the team are called to a murder/suicide that may have had some outside influences and is riddled full of Alice in Wonderlandish connections.
It was a good time, Classic Robb. Humor, friendships, a little romance and loving and a curious mystery that kept the pages turning,

Alice and the Earl in Wonderland by Mary Blayneystars

A jaunt through time to save them all!!! Okay, really just to set two hearts free and give them a chance at love.
lol This is part of a series it looks like but was still a fun one on it's own as two are sent back in time and Alice and Weston take their place in near present day London, have their views on life rocked and return to their own time with opened eyes and hearts.
They'd loved but lost due to a scandal and her worries it would taint him, That she wasn't good enough, But both still loved and yearned for each other, I liked these two. They had that sadly sweet feel of wanting each other but not thinking it was possibleher because of her parents scandalous divorce and him because of inheriting a nearly bankrupt earldom.
I liked seeing them together and realzing none of that mattered, You just had to go with the time travel and put down any real need for explanation but that was fine, Even they talked about that, While there's tension between them there's little to no heat, I enjoyed it. I wasn't blown away but it was a nice read overall, I'd be up for checking out the series,

ILove by Elaine Foxstar

ILove didn't work for me on pretty much any level, Basically the heroine spur of the moment dumps her boyfriend without explanation at breakfast and walks away from him because she thinks he spends too much time on his phone instead of focusing entirely on her.
And as she walks away he gets sucked into that phone into a crazy world to be rebooted, He can only get out if he finds love via the ILove app available to him,

I didn't care for the heroine at all, Or really any of the storyline, It came off as a preachy antitechnology PSA to live in the moment and get off technology which is fine but then everything was so wishy washy.
She was upset he didn't call her after she dumped him, she'd tell her friends and they'd act like she was crazy because he was a good guy then next page they were telling her he just didn't love her, he was always on his phone but examples were waiting for an important work message or looking up something that they'd talked about like if you're talking and go I wonder what.
. . and he looked it up or her taking him to a baby shower and him checking out his messages, It just didn't work for me, Had it been a more positive thing maybe I could have gotten into it but it seemed like the entire thing was about the hero learning how horrible a person he was and then the heroine finally realizing she was a horrible person too and things magically being fixed between them because they'd rather be together.
It made me a bit grouchy and I was glad it was only a handful of chapters,

A True Heart by Mary Kay McComas,stars

Whew! Now, True Heart, definitely had me feeling like I had actually fallen down a rabbit hole, A mix of A Christmas Carol and Alice in Wonderland as Elsie visits with a friend costume shopping and slips into another world with a guide intent on showing her the troubles with her life one costume change at a time.


I spent a lot of the time feeling all swoopy and admittedly fairly confused on what was happening, So definitely got me on the theme for sure, Overall it was an okay read even with being all swirly, Elise and her guide wander through the shop trying on costumes that are supposed to help her with her life discoveries and watching flashbacks to conversations she's had or friends talking about her.
A little cliche at the end but personal growth and a couple smiles along the way,

Fallen by RC Ryanstars

Sexy highlanders, I just. Are more words needed lol I loved Fallen, It was curious, sexy, fun and had a little danger added to the mix, It was a very quick read and one I didn't want to put down as Bethany travels to Scotland to broker a land sale and while making her way to the castle she falls, knocks her head and is transported into the past and the life of Laird Colin who is living under a curse and with two evil stepsiblings out to do him harm.


They were both lovely characters that suited each other and fit nicely, The world was magical and all of the characters sans Bethany waffled in and out of human and animal forms which was kind of fun.
Things move quick, there's a little heat and a spot of evil lingering in the backgrounds, I was all set to be highly ticked with how things were ending but Ryan pulled off what could easily have been either cliche or a huge OMG NO YOU DIDN'T move and instead left me smiling and wishing there was more from this little world.
Nicely done!




Escaping into a book for a while, Love JD Robb and totally needing a dose of her,
