Synopsis

Monsters, serial killers, and imaginary friends — being a Wonderlander can be murder...

Once upon a time, Kayla was lost. Then she found Wonderland, but not the one you know. Run by ex-government agents and funded by an eccentric Silicon Valley billionaire, this Wonderland is the name of a collective of highly trained vigilantes who hunt serial killers. Now Kayla, aka Mouse, works tirelessly alongside her fellow Wonderlanders, Rabbit and Cheshire, baiting dangerous murderers. But even her extensive training hasn’t prepared her for the return of her older brother…

Shilo has spent most of his life in an insane asylum, convinced his mother was abducted by a sinister Alaskan monster who lures the lost away to feast upon their flesh. And now he’s certain that his sister is in the same monster’s crosshairs. But if Shilo is going to save what’s left of his family, he’ll have to convince his sister that maybe, just maybe, we’re all a little mad.

Prologue

     He knew she’d be fighting, desperate to get back to them, gripping on to every dangling branch in the forest, wriggling from the monster’s grip. His mother would battle to find her way back home.
      Shilo’s hand was cold around his little sister’s fingers. He could barely feel her slim digits enclosed in his. They were running, their small legs pumping against the frozen ground. Kayla was breathing heavily, sobs lacing each strangled exhale. She cried out to him, but he didn’t stop their momentum. He couldn’t. Their mom was in trouble, and although he had no concrete plan as to how they could save her from the deadly Kushtaka, all he could concentrate on was catching up with them; the plan would have to come when he was face-to-face with the six-foot beast covered in dirty fur and sporting sharp talons.
      “Shilo!” shouted Kayla. She was weighing him down, slowing him down. Not for the first time in his life, he hated her existence.
      “Please!” she yelled.
      He didn’t turn around. He kept moving. It was only after another thirty minutes of frantic running that he realized his sister was no longer holding his hand.
