- Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2016Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI enjoyed this YA novel.
This is a dark urban fantasy that weaves it's spell on you. It was a little slow in the beginning but the pace pick up quickly after that. Alice/Lizzy thinks she's an ordinary girl with an ordinary family but as the story unfolds she discovers may truths which turns her life upside down.
She hangs with the IN crowd and gradually sees that they are really not her friends. She turns to Amy, who is her true friend.
Alice/Lizzy discovers she has powers but these come at a cost.
There are deadly battles with evil were-creatures and love-sucking incubuses.
Her journey takes her to another world where she must vanquish a demon.
There is plenty teenage drama, love and lust, all suitable for YA readers.
Some great writing.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2016Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI love Angelika Rust, simply stated. Just look at all the love I've given her books on this blog over the past couple years and it's pretty obvious. So, I'll understand if you'll ignore this post as yet another rant of love for her...but you shouldn't ignore this post, or this book, because My Name is Not Alice is not your standard Rust book.
Sure, it's a quirky look at a rather standard subject. Sure, it's got oddball characters being put into even further oddball situations. Yes, it's glorious prose will have you imagining things you never thought you'd imagine before (okay, yeah, that might be just a little over the top...I couldn't think of a third thing to put in with my rather limited time set aside to write here).
But it's different.
And in a fantastic way.
You know all those stories where a kid finds out that they are part of a grand tradition of magic and whatever? Yeah, your Harry Potters, Star Wars's, and (sheesh, my rule of three is failing me today!). At a very simple glance, this would fall into that category. Yet, the world of magic is wonderland, and the character in question is named Alice...although she seems to not want you to know that.
Well, this is where things quickly separate from the norm. Because things aren't easy in the world of Wonderland. There aren't happy stories to arise for these characters. It seems that everywhere they look there is really only a great deal of trial and tribulation...although one of the central characters does come up with a rather unique weightloss technique.
Anyways, I really can't do this book justice with just a few words in a review...it's great, it's fun, and it really deserves a read. So do it already!
Buy it now!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2015Format: KindleMy Name Is Not Alice is a wonderful story told in five parts about a young girl called Alice,who hates all references made by the girls around her in the context of Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland. This story is a symbol of personal growth of the protagonist Alice in particular and human life in general.
The story introduces Alice as a highly underconfident, inhibited and sensitive person who has a severe inferiority complex. Alice, slowly but surely, learns about true friendship and gains enough self- confidence to face bullies like Jenny even if means being out of the popular gang. Alice, thus, starts off on a path of self-discovery as she openly befriends Amy Walker. She starts realizing that there is magic within her. However, her strained relationship with her mother stops her from asking questions about family history. The entry of Pepper Burns and Trouble Walker does shake her belief in the goodness of people, but her friendship with Amy helps her to learn about herself and understand the people around her.
It is universally known and established that love can conquer even the worst of the demons. Alice discovers true love on her journey of self exploration and does everything she can, to help people close to her, to fight Jenny, a demon in reality. And yes, all is well that ends well, and this story definitely ends on a positive note.
I couldn't help but compare the story with today's world. Ask those with names that have a resemblance to a literary character or real life famous personalities. Jokes and leg-pullings are bound to happen. Besides, the openness in relationship between parents and children is slowly on the decrease. Also, friendships and peer pressures can make or mar a growing child. However, the story reaffirms the faith in the power of true friendship and true love.
Written beautifully, magical realism is brought out in an exquisite manner by Angelika Rust. She has successfully etched characters who are powerful and play their part well. Alice is a show stealer, Amy is the perfect friend in need, Trouble is attractive rogue, Jenny is the appropriate antagonist who is everything that Alice is not.
The story is not all magical in terms of use of mystical creatures et al. Instead, the story is a briliant mix of the real world and the magical realm, thereby making it an interesting read.
P.S- I finished the book in a single sitting.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2016Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI enjoyed reading this book. There are several peaks in the story that made me think the book is too long. But it wasn’t boring. It had a nice pace and enough action to keep it going.

5.0 out of 5 stars So - This is so not my genre -
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseSo - This is so not my genre - Not at all it was a spontaneous purchase - TODAY - and I thought oh well I'll get to that in a bit and then I began to read it and I thought - this is so not my genre - It's for younger people than me, it's fantasy for Pete's Sake and bits of it are almost fairy tale. It has rabbits in it - RABBITS - and witches and shape shifters and all sorts of things that are So, not my chosen read.So - Tell me Ms Rust - Fess up right here and now - How the double doo da did you make me sit there for the last three hours unable to put the blithering thing down. I was totally enthralled, hooked, gripped by it.
Are you a witch????

4.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI loved this book. It is book one in the "Resident Witch" series, and sets everything up nicely and probably means I have to buy the rest of the series... It deals with some issues that could be triggering, such as sexual violence and bullying, but there is nothing explicit, and in today's climate especially, it is important to face these things rather than hide from. What I both liked and found disturbing in equal measure in a YA book is that there was really no moral compass. The characters were real, made real mistakes and had real flaws, and there was no retribution or learning curve, just like real life. Alice, the main character, for example, chastises herself for not wanting to have sex with her boyfriend, fearing what he'll think of her, the way a teenage girl might, but there is never the realisation that it's her body and her choice, the thought is never addressed again.
Trouble, the main love interest is also morally dubious, and I didn't like him, but I'm told that most women do, so, maybe that's just me. Heh. I failed to understand the attraction, or the love. So far this review sounds negative, and I don't mean for it to be. It was a fast paced urban fantasy with demons, shifters, witches and more. Well written and the scene is well set, I will definitely be going back to see what happens next. The lack of any real moral message gave me pause, and as I read on I kept hoping that maybe there would be one at the end. As with life, there wasn't. Nonetheless, a thoroughly enjoyable read and I will return to the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Urban Fantasy
Format: KindleVerified Purchase'My Name Is Not Alice' is the young adult fantasy novel of a girl named Alice whose world becomes terrifying and strange once she turns away from the popular crowd at school.
The story is not a typical YA tale. The characters are realistic and serious issues are tackled without sugarcoating. It has some wonderful humorous moments but is quite dark overall. There's a good mix of mystery, action and romance. I think this will appeal well to older teens who want a more realistic YA paranormal read.
Overall this was an excellent read and I would recommend it highly to fans of urban fantasy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Trouble isn't always a bad thing.
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseA quirky fairy tale that's definitely not for little children: Lizzy (which may or may not be her real name) is in thrall to the sort of popular, but poisonous, girl at school who you'd wish would break out in a bad case of facial carbuncles: anyone who's not in Jenny's gang is nobody and going nowhere. With distant parents, Lizzy wants desperately to fit in and grudgingly follows the 'in' crowd to do just that - until strange and dangerous occurrences beginning in the local park lead her to realise the life she leads is simply a thin veneer of normality, and that she is far more resourceful than she ever could have imagined.
