                                         Slumber
                             (Slumber Duology, Book 1)
                                    by Christy Sloat
                                  genre- YA Fantasy

​About the Book

Not all princesses get their happily ever after... 
They tell me I killed my boyfriend Phillip in cold blood. I stabbed him twenty one times. I’m only seventeen years old, and I am serving life in Spindle Ridge Asylum for the Criminally Insane. 
I don’t remember killing him, so it’s really hard to believe I’m capable of murder. In fact I don’t remember anything before I came to Spindle Ridge, not even my boyfriend. 
I can only grasp onto my realistic dreams while the madness of the asylum threatens to pull me under. I dream I’m a beautiful princess and there is an evil faerie named Maleficent who is bent on my destruction. The dreams are the closest thing I have to memories of my life, except they aren’t real. 
I’m crazy. I’m not a princess. 
They’re the mad illusions of an irrational teenage girl, right? 
They’ve assigned me a new doctor, and she says I can trust her, and that she’ll help me see the truth of who I really am. 
When she arrived she brought a new patient, Sawyer, who is everything Spindle Ridge isn’t: exciting, mysterious and beautiful. He promises he’s here to rescue me. Trusting either of them frightens me. 
Could it be possible that my dreams are more than just the imaginings of a delusional girl? Could they be truth?

My Thoughts

 I was absolutely caught up in this alternate take on a classic fairy tale! From the very beginnings, you're thrown into a dark asylum that's completely believable. As the story progresses, it's like a flower blooming! What starts as a dark bud, slowly grows and blooms, layer by layer into a full blossomed climax. While not a pretty story with a perfect ending, the writing was very detailed and descriptive. The characters were very complex and just kept building the whole time. I loved uncovering each new layer of the story! I was absolutely enthralled by this enchanting new version and can't wait to read the sequel soon!
