Summary:

Your holiday season is about to get deliciously naughty…

What if Alice Liddell’s story didn’t happen the way you think? What if it wasn’t Wonderland she fell into, but Winterland. This mad tale is dark, twisted, sexy, and nothing like the legend you know.

After losing her job and finding her boyfriend/boss cheating on her with her replacement, twenty-five-year-old Alice Liddell has moved back home to save money and regroup. 

She doesn’t think things can get worse until her younger, more responsible sister, Dinah, gets her a job—as a Christmas elf. 

Dressed in a slutty costume with fathers peeking down her top and kids vomiting on her, she wants nothing more than to escape the reality of her life.

When she sees a sexy, shirtless man, carrying a glowing red light, and bearing antlers, her curiosity gets the better of her. But following him might be the biggest mistake she ever made.

Falling into another realm, Alice finds herself in the world of holiday legends and fairytales. But she is not prepared her for the dark madness of this place. Nothing is what is seems and no one is what they are in the fairytales. 

Even the mysterious, sexy Scrooge.

Welcome to Winterland, where the good guys from the North Pole have gone bad, and the only way to survive is to descend into its madness.

My Thoughts:

Descending Into madness is Alice In wonderland but Christmas themed. Which sounds amazing right?

Instead of the mad hatter he becomes Scrooge, instead of the rabbit always being late, he’s a reindeer etc.. 

I’m loved the way Alice swears with Christmas themes/songs.

While she’s there she meets the mad hatter aka Scrooge and it’s not a great first impression, but they slowly come together because of the events that follow.

Scrooge decision to go to the land of the lost to go and get Santa Claus doesn’t go well with the group and everyone is scared he won’t come back. He feels like he’s the only one that can. After Scrooge is gone for 4 days Alice takes it upon her self to go and save him. Will she be able to? Or will she end up being lost?

The ending was something that I wasn’t expecting but while reading it made perfect sense. Stacy does an amazing job combining Alice In Wonderland and Christmas. I can only imagine what the next book is going to hold.
