Series: Splintered #2
Author: A. G. Howard
Publisher: Amulet
Release Date: January 7, 2014
Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit hole and faced the bandersnatch. She saved the life of Jeb, the guy she loves, and escaped the machinations of the disturbingly seductive Morpheus and the vindictive Queen Red. Now all she has to do is graduate high school and make it through prom so she can attend the prestigious art school in London she's always dreamed of.Why I'm waiting on Unhinged: I absolutely adored the first book in this series. Hello? It's an Alice's Adventures in Wonderland spinoff! How can I not love it? I'm so excited to see where this book goes. So much happened and I'm really excited to explore the more wild side of Alyssa. Team Morpheus all the way!!
That would be easier without her mother, freshly released from an asylum, acting overly protective and suspicious. And it would be much simpler if the mysterious Morpheus didn’t show up for school one day to tempt her with another dangerous quest in the dark, challenging Wonderland—where she (partly) belongs.
As prom and graduation creep closer, Alyssa juggles Morpheus’s unsettling presence in her real world with trying to tell Jeb the truth about a past he’s forgotten. Glimpses of Wonderland start to bleed through her art and into her world in very disturbing ways, and Morpheus warns that Queen Red won’t be far behind.
If Alyssa stays in the human realm, she could endanger Jeb, her parents, and everyone she loves. But if she steps through the rabbit hole again, she'll face a deadly battle that could cost more than just her head.
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
I'm waiting on Unhinged as well! And Between The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, because that looks really cool.
ReplyDeleteThis is an example of what is likely a great series that I haven't read because I really dislike the covers. They just aren't my style, and that is why I haven't picked up Splintered yet. One of these days maybe I will get the urge to do so.
