Stacey Marie Brown’s “Descending Into Madness” will be LIVE in just a few days & we’re giving away an ARC!

Descending Into Madness (Winterland Tale Book 1)

OH MY what an intriguing cover (and title) and yes. BLURB JOLT! I. AM. TITILLATED (and the concept is so clever!!) Oh this will be so much fun… πŸ˜‰

“What if Alice Liddell’s story didn’t happen the way you think? What if it wasn’t Wonderland she fell into, but Winterland.Β 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 jobβ€”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.”

So. Who wants an early review copy of the ebook?

HowΒ to enter for a chance to win it?Β Just leave a comment below (and if you have one, tell us your favorite “re-telling” of a classic story), and by Friday July 19th, 2019, I will randomly select one lucky commenter to receive Β an early copy.

The winner will be contacted and will have 48hrs to respond confirming their email address, so if you are picked, do not delay or you will lose your chance. The signed book will be sent to the winner directly by the author.

Giveaway open to International!!!Β :D

Hi,
I’m Claudia from Brazil. Love books and your blog. My favorite retelling of a classic is the Red Hood Chronicles from Kendrai Meeks. Soo good, and it gives a new meaning to the bad wolf and Red Hood!

Thanks for the chance,
Claudia

Sounds like Friends with Partial Benefits by Luke Young. I tried to make a comment on the site but it did not seem to show up??

Sounds like it could be Always Meant to Be by Siobhan Davis

Whew! Glad you checked in. I don’t know what I would read if you decided to stop posting your blog.

Girl…the panic when I found last week’s post at the top yesterday…and the detailed explanation my husband had to sit through of our long-blog relationship and your posting schedule. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ So glad you are good — hope everything is going smoothly with the move (as much as such a thing is possible anyway!)

Congratulations on the new house and your puppy!!! Eeek ❀️

Ahh wow!! Have a good clear out! Congratulations on your new home and all the health and happiness to enjoy it! 🏑

Missing your posts and wondered if all was well!

Take your time! We will be double excited for your next post! Can’t wait to hear more about the move and the new puppy. ❀️

Congrats on the new place!!!!

Glad to hear you're ok..was a tad worried ❀️

I’m happy for you.

Awesome!!

Hi Maryse's Book Blog. I was wondering why there was no new post. Congratulations on your new home!!!

Congratulations! Miss your recommendations! Question for you, do you know what happened to author Lisa de Jong? I just recently reread her Plastic Hearts series and want more of this series.

Call me 704-873+7629

Congratulations!

Congratulations

Omg you got a daniff! We have one. She was the worst puppy ever and I mean ever. Make sure you have a kennel. If she takes after Great Danes she will need time outs every few hours. If she takes after English mastiffs then you are golden. We love our English mastiffs.
