Wonder Never: The Fairytale Diaries Book Two (followup to No Happily Ever After)
Josh Cross has finally
escaped his frightening roots in Faraway Washington. Thanks to kind carnies from Carnaval de le
Nuit, he has been warmly welcomed into their fold and has blossomed completely
from the ugly duckling he once was.
Several months have
passed since he obsessed over the rash of murders and disappearances back
home. The carnival has traveled around
from show to show, touring tirelessly and has collectively decided to spend an
entire month set up in Enchantica, Louisiana.
Upon arrival, Josh finds himself enthralled with the town, the weather,
and the beautiful scenery. At first
opportunity, he takes off to explore his new surroundings.
Faraway is the furthest
thing from his mind, but the memories come rushing back when he finds himself
face to face with someone he knows to be missing and presumed dead from his
hometown. She claims her name is Alice,
but he knows that she is lying. He can
tell she recognizes him too and suspects she is being held against her will.
A small hyperactive man
with tufts of white hair demands that Alice come with him, and the pair
disappears into a thick swampy forest.
Fearing for "Alice's" safety, Josh follows. Deep in the forest, a shocking secret is
revealed to Josh; a secret so terrifying he wants nothing more than to convince
himself it is all a terrible nightmare.
Anything but a dream,
the horror triggered by Josh's discovery is all too real. Just like that, he is once again thrown into
darkness in a land as fantastical and fearsome as any Wonderland or Never Never
Land ever could be.
