Harper Summer 2016 Tour

Queen of Hearts by Colleen Oakes
Publisher: HarperTeen
Release Date: May 3rd, 2016
320 pages

As Princess of Wonderland Palace and the future Queen of Hearts, Dinah’s days are an endless monotony of tea, tarts, and a stream of vicious humiliations at the hands of her father, the King of Hearts. The only highlight of her days is visiting Wardley, her childhood best friend, the future Knave of Hearts — and the love of her life.

When an enchanting stranger arrives at the Palace, Dinah watches as everything she’s ever wanted threatens to crumble. As her coronation date approaches, a series of suspicious and bloody events suggests that something sinister stirs in the whimsical halls of Wonderland. It’s up to Dinah to unravel the mysteries that lurk both inside and under the Palace before she loses her own head to a clever and faceless foe.

Part epic fantasy, part twisted fairy tale, this dazzling saga will have readers shivering as Dinahs furious nature sweeps Wonderland up in the maelstrom of her wrath.

Familiar characters such as Cheshire, the White Rabbit, and the Mad Hatter make their appearance, enchanting readers with this new, dark take on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Hey guys! I am super excited to be participating in the Harper Summer 2016 Tour! For one, I actually reviewed Queen of Hearts exactly 2 years ago! You can find my review here, which turned out to be my first ARC review (so exciting haha!). Also at that time, it was published under a different company, and it also had a different cover.

Obviously, I am excited that Queen of Hearts will be publishing under HarperTeen, where I hope it will get SO MUCH MORE PUBLICITY.
