Fuck him and his guilt.
But that earnest look in his eyes is all I can focus on. Even as the inky smoke drifts around us.
And tears me away once again.

Acknowledgments
There’s a saying that raising a baby or child takes a village. Raising a book baby also takes a village ;)
I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the people who worked on this series inside for and out for the last six months as well as all the people who helped me even if they didn’t realize it.
Special thanks to my salt sisters, Camri and Amy for telling me when my weirdness went too weird with this story (it does happen from time to time…A LOT).
Thanks to Harper, Raven, Ivy, Erin, Angie, and Yumo for letting me spam the hell out of them over my excitement of this new series.
Thanks to my best friend, Courtney for beta reading and catching the last-minute typos. You were here for my very first published book and you’re still here supporting me and it means the world to me<3
Thank you, Leanne for taking the time to read and beta all this madness and listening to all my obsessive questions!
Thank you Jenee for being the best damn assistant & friend I could have asked for. Without her I might not ever remember anything. Nothing would get done, I’m sure of it.
Special thanks to those who made the physical aspect of this book: the beautiful cover design Cover’s by Christian created. I’m still completely in love with the interior art that Killer Book Covers made, you nailed it! Thank you, Amy for making the paperback completely special and perfect!
Thank you to my editor, Helayna who I met on a terrible day and she helped me without even hesitating. She’s the absolute best!
Big thanks to my reader group, Reading Between Realms, who sees all the teasers and all my unfiltered awkwardness in live time, thank you guys for all your feedback and support. I love you completely!
And to every reader who’s as obsessed with Wonderland as I am…I hope I didn’t fucking ruin it ;)
Thank you guys so much for reading!!!
