Dorothy Must Die by Danielle PaigeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
My ALL TIME favorite movie. It terrified the HELL out of me as a child, but it's iconic and I fell in love with it! Just watching the movie brings me back to my childhood which wasn't idyllic, but makes me smile just the same. So naturally I grabbed this book when I saw it.
I was terrified once again.
So Dorothy has gone psycho and power hungry and has thrown Emerald City into complete chaotic turmoil, the Tin Man has got some twisted love obsession for Dorothy, the Lion has become this crazed, violent bodyguard and the Scarecrow does bizarre and sick things in his secret laboratory. It's not the Wizard of Oz that I remember from my childhood. All the same though, I was drawn. Really from the moment I started the book I was drawn into the story about the "other girl from Kansas" who arrives via tornado to Oz and was told Dorothy must die and you're going to kill her.
Definitely not a book for youngsters! I would recommend high school and older. This is the first book in the series.
Book 1 - Dorothy Must Die
