Twisted Fairytales Books in Order

Twisted Fairytales is where Max Monroe lean into moodier, more decadent storytelling while still keeping their sense of humor. The idea is simple: take the bones of a familiar fairytale and rebuild it in an adult, contemporary setting full of power plays, temptation, and morally gray choices.

The first book, Alex in Wonderland, reimagines Alice’s trip down the rabbit hole as a dive into an underground party empire. Matt Hadder runs Wonderland Inc., a high end event company that quietly supplies the world’s elite with whatever they want, no questions asked. To his clients he is essential, not good or bad, just the man who can make anything appear for a night and disappear just as fast.

Alex Little crashes into his life as a contradiction he cannot quite solve. She is innocent and rebellious, obedient and defiant, and she forces him to see the human cost of the world he controls. What starts as a job turns into something far more dangerous as Alex follows Matt deeper into Wonderland’s back rooms and unspoken rules.

The book pulls in details and imagery from the original fairytale without feeling like a simple modern retelling. Parties feel surreal, side characters are larger than life, and the line between fantasy and reality blurs. At the same time, the romance itself is grounded in very real questions about power, consent, and whether two people from such different moral worlds can ever truly meet in the middle.

Compared with the lighter billionaire romcoms, Twisted Fairytales is sexier, darker, and more atmospheric. There is still banter and comic relief, but the stakes feel higher and the consequences more permanent. It is a good fit if you enjoy fairytale inspired stories that are clearly written for adults, with complex protagonists and a strong sense of place.

Future installments are designed to build on this idea with new couples and new fairytales, each one twisting something familiar into something unexpectedly sharp. You do not have to read them in any particular order, but starting with Alex in Wonderland gives you a clear sense of how far the authors are willing to push their usual brand of romance.
