Hookah (Insanity #4) by Cameron Jace A Plague Scarier than Death

Alice and the Pillar have to stop a Wonderland Monster who'd lashed out an incurable disease onto the world. Their biggest challenge is that the world loves this monster so much.

A Cure Larger than Life

The only way to save the world is to travel to the other side of the globe, and peek into one of Lewis Carroll and the Pillar's darker pasts.

A Truth Madder Than Fiction

This time, the price of saving the world is too high. Alice will have to live with the consequences of the maddest logic of the world surrounding her.

Will Alice find who the Pillar really is? What he wants? Is she brave enough to handle the one Wonderland Monster she'd thought was a good friend? And even so, is the world ready the truth?

Hookah is hugely enjoyable, another mad chapter in my favourite re-telling of Alice in Wonderland.

It's been a while since I read book 3, Circus so my recall is a bit vague. I remember that I loved it.

Hookah is a crazy as the other books in the Insanity series. You'd need to have read the other books to get even a hint of what is going on and how all the threads (millions of them) tie up.

In this book, we find out a bit more about Alice's past, her links to Wonderland and Lewis Carroll, the Pillar's real motives and a few other things. There is a lot of darkness in the book, and crazy shenanigans but a lot of warmth and humour as well.

I look forward to the next book Wonder.
