Heartless by Marissa Meyer is the amazing story of the Queen of Hearts before she took the throne.

It's a fantastic exploration of Wonderland and the amazing characters who live there. Today on the MKB blog, Marissa tells us more about why she loves Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

It might not be our Book of the Month anymore, but we’re still pretty excited about Heartless by Marissa Meyer!

It's the stunning story of Catherine Pinkerton, the girl who would become the Queen of Hearts. Heartless explores the familiar world of Wonderland introducing us to characters we thought we knew in a completely different way

Inspired by this brand new look at Wonderland, we've pulled together a list of some of our favourite YA fairy-tale retellings. If you’re itching to read Marissa Meyer’s Heartless, here’s a list of other books to satisfy those fairy-tale retelling cravings!

Take it away, Marissa!
