Ascending from Madness

Winterland Tale, Book 2

De: Stacey Marie Brown

Narrado por: Mia Madison

Ready for your holiday season to get deliciously naughty again?

The bad boys and girls of the Winterland are back for the conclusion of Alice and Scrooge’s story. This tale is mad, dark, twisted, sexy, and nothing like the legend you know.

Life for Alice Liddell should be normal. Work, family, and her general sucky life back at her parent’s house, working as a slutty elf in Santa’s shop. But from the moment Alice wakes up from a terrible fevered dream, nothing feels ordinary. With visions of strange creatures, an obsession with creating top hats until her hands bleed, and an inexplicable attraction to her married neighbor, Matt, she feels like she’s going crazy.

When her illusions of twin elves, singing penguins, and sexy reindeers start to turn into full-blown hallucinations, her family feels they have no choice but to find her help.

Her therapist is Matt’s wife, Jessica Winters, someone Alice feels in her gut she shouldn’t trust. But the more Alice loses her touch on reality, the more her parents turn to Jessica.

In one night, Alice loses everything, landing her in an insane asylum, where she learns not only Jessica is not who she seems, but no one is in there.

As Alice’s mind cracks more, her visions feeling more like memories, she’s in a fight for her life against the mad ruler of the institution.

Except who will believe her? She’s the crazy girl. The one who’s visited by ghosts of holiday icons. But one thing good about going mad?

In some places, being mad is exactly what you need to survive...

To ascend from madness.

My Thoughts on Ascending From Madness

This book was well laid out and felt like even though it was on the longer side that that was what the story needed to fully tell the tale. It had great characters to love along with some truly wicked ones to hate. There were some really unexpected twists along the way. And sometimes it had you second-guessing who you could really trust. But once everything was said and done, I absolutely loved how it all played out. That enjoyment was only heightened by a truly excellent narrator. Not only would I not hesitate to check out this author again for more books in the series and more books in general, but I also would love to hear more from this narrator.

into the looking glass!
