Would I follow a shirtless deer guy holding a red light in an empty tree farm? Yeah probably and so did Alice. Descending into Madness was an amazing dark Alice and Wonderland retelling with a Christmas twist. The mix of Alice in Wonderland and Christmas characters kept this books so damn interesting. Who knew Rudolph what hit with abs? There’s so many amazing details in the book like the queen of hearts is Mrs Claus in Descending into Madness. And I love a broken, broody MMC and Scrooge fits the bill. And Scrooge had some much spicy tension with Alice but we get what we all want in the end. I loved this book way more than I thought possible, the characters had me hooked.
