Judging Books By Their Covers #2

We're always told not to judge books by their covers but, really, it's hard to help it.  There's a lot of aspects that make a cover good or not and everyone sees them a little differently.  So, in these posts I'm doing what we all do when we pick up a book - judging their covers.

Colors:  I love this!  It's so colorful (though it does kinda remind me of Christmas with the green and red) but they all blend nicely and fit together really well!

Font:  I'm a fan of swirly font but not on covers so I'm glad this isn't too swirly.  It's just enough to make it look whimsical which works well with the story.

Images:  Love.  The girl looks just how I picture Alyssa looking in this story.  She has just a hint of mischief and madness in her eyes and expression to make it perfect.  

Cover Relevance:  The bugs, the cover model, and chaotic greenery.  All very relevant.  It totally just shouts Wonderland. 

Rating:  Totally on point.

Colors:  Very Red.  I can handle it though, especially because it's lighter and darker in areas.  It really gives off a sense of impending doom, ya know?

Font:  The font is pretty simple and very easy to read and I like that it is spruced up a bit with the swirling design around it.  And I like that the red shows through the black design to spell out the title.

Images:  I'm not a huge fan of just having the girl sitting in a field of flowers with a white dress on.  But I like the silhouette of the castle in the background.

Cover Relevance:  It's relevant.  I mean, it has the castle and the main character on it but I feel it could have done better. 

Rating:  It does its job.

 

Colors:  I honestly am not a huge fan of the yellow and green.  It looks like a sickly yellow-green to me.

Font:  Simple but not boring.  It fits the feel of the story!

Images:  Cute shirtless boy and a city silhouette.  Hey, I'm not complaining.

Cover Relevance:  Not totally relevant.  It has one of the main characters and the setting.  There's a lot of small details that tell you more about the story.  

Rating:  As a twelve year old, I was afraid to buy this because I thought my parents would think it was a mature romance novel and they would take it away.  I still hide the cover from my dad when I'm rereading it.

Colors:  So pretty!  I luff it.  

Font:  It feels very regal and decorative but it's easy to read.

Images:  Not a fan of the half face trend.  At all.  It is pretty with the colors framing it though and the girl is really lovely!

Cover Relevance:  It's the main character so it's okay.  But I feel like it would have been easy to design something more relevant to put on the cover.

Rating:  Meh.

   

Colors:  Yes, so pretty.  I love how the colors are pale in the middle and gradually get darker and more prominent toward the edges.

Font:  It's nice and easy to read.

Images:  HOLY YES SO PERFECT

Cover Relevance:  So relevant!  The knife and the eye reflected in it are amazing and are so significant to this story.  

Rating:  If I publish a book, I want my cover to be this beautiful.

What do you think of these covers?  Love 'em?  Hate 'em?  Leave your thoughts in the comments below!

Review: Unhinged

Title:  Unhinged
Series:  Splintered #2
Author:  A.G. Howard
Age Group:  Young Adult
Published:  January 1, 2014 by Amulet
Source:  Bought

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.

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.

 My Review:  With every single word I read of Unhinged, I fell more and more in love.  The characters, world, and magic A.G. Howard has created are so intoxicating and addictive, I can't help but crave more of all of it.  I am so incredibly in love with the chaos and the insanity that makes these stories unique.  

Even though this time around we don't actually have a chance to jump back down the rabbit hole, there is no lack of of the craziness that it holds.  I was afraid that the magic from the last novel would be missing from this one but I had nothing to fear!  Wonderland was seeping into the human world and I adored seeing the chaos it created there.  I was constantly on edge seeing Alyssa trying to balance the craziness of Wonderland and her human life.  I was just waiting for everything to come crashing together and ruining the delicate balance she had achieved.  

Alyssa herself was awesome.  I loved her loyalty and dedication to her family and friends even though I was kind of irritated that she completely denied her Wonderland side.  I so wanted her to just bust out her wings and powers and be totally awesome!  I mean, she was still totally awesome but I just wish we were able to see that other side of her.  The growth she went through in this book was lovely and I liked seeing her progress as it continued on.

Along with Alyssa, we also see a lot of Jeb and Morpheus in this book.  I actually kind of  disliked Jeb in this book.  I found him annoying but that might just be because he was in the way of Morpheus and Alyssa being together.  Looking past that, he was actually really sweet and caring and adorable in the moments he had with Alyssa.  Morpheus, of course, was my favorite.  I love this guy so much.  He is so wild and chaotic and that just had me swooning all over the page.  I love that he has such a big soft spot for Alyssa and I thought it was sweet seeing the things he did for her.  But no matter what he did do for her, he always was his mischievous self.  

Unhinged was just as amazing as the first book in the novel, Splintered.  Full of magic, chaos, and beautifully written and intricate characters, this book will hook you from the beginning and become an addiction you won't be able to shake!

In the stunning conclusion to the wildly popular White Rabbit Chronicles, Alice "Ali" Bell thinks the worst is behind her. She's ready to take the next step with boyfriend Cole Holland, the leader of the zombie slayers…until Anima Industries, the agency controlling the zombies, launches a sneak attack, killing four of her friends. It's then she realizes that humans can be more dangerous than monsters…and the worst has only begun.

Title:  Insanity

Series:  None

Author:  Cameron Jace 

Published:  December 19, 2013 by Jawigi Publishing

After accidentally killing everyone in her class, Alice Wonder is now a patient in the Radcliffe Lunatic Asylum. No one doubts her insanity. Only a hookah-smoking professor believes otherwise; that he can prove her sanity by decoding Lewis Carroll's paintings, photographs, and find Wonderland's real whereabouts. Professor Caterpillar persuades the asylum that Alice can save lives and catch the wonderland monsters now reincarnated in modern day criminals. In order to do so, Alice leads a double life: an Oxford university student by day, a mad girl in an asylum by night. The line between sanity and insanity thins when she meets Jack Diamond, an arrogant college student who believes that nonsense is an actual science.

Excerpt from chapter 1 

The writing on the wall says it's January 14th. I am not sure what year. I haven't been sure of many things lately, but I’m wondering if it’s my handwriting I’m looking at. 

There is an strange key drawn underneath the date. It's carved with a sharp object, probably a broken mirror. I couldn’t have written this. I'm terrified of mirrors. They love to call it Catoptrophobia around here. 

Unlike regular patients in the asylum, my room is windowless, stripped down to a single mattress in the middle, a sink, and bucket for peeing--or puking--when necessary. The tiles on the floor are black-and-white squares, like a chessboard. I never step on black. Always white. Again, I'm not sure why. 

The walls are smeared with a greasy pale green everywhere. I wonder if it's the previous patient's brains spattered all over from shock therapy. In the Radcliffe Lunatic Asylum, politely known as the Warneford hospital, the doctors have a sweet spot for shock therapy. They love watching patients with bulging eyes and shivering limbs begging for relief from the electricity. It makes me question who is really mad in here. 

It's been a while since I was sent to shock therapy myself. Dr. Tom Truckle, my supervising physician, said I don't need it anymore, particularly after I stopped mentioning Wonderland. He told me that I used to talk about it all the time; a dangerous place I claim I have been whisked away to when my elder sister lost me at the age of seven. 

Truth is, I don't remember this Wonderland they are talking about. I don't even know why I am here. My oldest vivid memory is from a week ago. Before that, it's all a purple haze. 

I have only one friend in this asylum. It's not a doctor or a nurse. And it's not a human. It doesn't hate, envy, or point a finger at you. My friend is an orange flower I keep in a pot; a Tiger Lily I can't live without. I keep it safe next 

to a small crack in the wall where a single sun ray sneaks through for only ten minutes a day. It might not be enough light to grow a flower, but my Tiger Lily is a tough girl. 

Each day, I save half of the water they give me for my flower. As for me, better thirsty than mad.
My orange flower is also my personal rain check for my sanity. If I talk to her and she doesn't reply, I know I am not hallucinating. If it talks back to me, all kinds of nonsense starts to happen. Insanity prevails. There must be a reason why I am here. It doesn’t mean I will easily give in to such a fate. 

"Alice Pleasance Wonder. Are you ready?" the nurse knocks with her electric prod on my steel door. Her name is Waltraud Wagner. She is German. Everything she says sounds like a threat and smells like smoke. My fellow mad people say she is a Nazi; that she used to kill her own patients back in Germany. "Get avay vrom za dor. I an coming in," she demands. 

Listening to the rattling of her large keychain, my heart pounds in my chest. The turn of the key makes me want to swallow. When the door opens, all I can think of is choking her before she begins to hurt me. Sadly, her neck is too thick for my nimble hands. I stare at her almost-square figure for a moment. Everything about her is four sizes too big, all except her feet, which are as small as mine. My sympathies, little feet. 

"Time for your daily ten-minute break," she approaches me with a straitjacket, a devilish grin on her face. I never get out. My ward is underground, and I take my break in another empty ward upstairs, where patients love to play soccer with a hedgehog’s head. 

A big muscled warden stands behind Watlraud. Thomas Ogier. He is bald, has an angry-red face and a silver tooth he likes to flash whenever he sees me. His biceps are the size of my head. I have a hard time believing he has ever been a 4-pound baby. 

"Slide your arms into the jacket," Waltraud demands in her German accent, a cigarette puckered between her lips. "Slow and easy, Alice," she nods at warden Ogier, in case I misbehave. 

I comply obediently and stretch out my arms for her to do whatever she wants. Waltraud twists my right arm slightly and checks the tattoo on my arm. It’s the only tattoo I have. It’s a handwritten sentence that looks like a thin arm band from afar. Waltraud feels the need to read it allowed, “’I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.’” I was told I have written it myself while still believing in Wonderland. “That Alice in Wonderland has really messed with your head.” She puffs smoke into my face as she mocks me. 

The tattoo and Waltraud’s mocking is the least of my concerns right now. I let her tie me, and while she does, I close my eyes. I imagine I am a sixteenth century princess, some kind of a lucky Cinderella, being squeezed into a corset by my chain smoking servant in a fairy tale castle above ground, just about to go meet my Prince Charming. Such imagery always helps me breathe. I once heard that it was hope that saves the day, not sanity. I need to cool down before I begin my grand escape.

Inspired by the childhood classic Alice in Wonderland, this harrowing and romantic story features teen zombie slayer Alice Bell who has lost so much—family, friends, her home.

Review: Splintered

Title:  Splintered
Series:  Splintered #1
Author:  A.G. Howard
Publisher:  Amulet Books
Pages:  371
Format:  Hardcover
Source:  Bought

This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a mystical under-land, as well as a girl’s pangs of first love and independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers—precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.
When her mother’s mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice’s tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice’s mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.

My Review:  I love this book!  Seriously though, it was absolutely amazing.  I loved the whole concept of Alyssa being a descendent of Alice Liddell and having to travel into Wonderland to fix all of the things Alice caused when she'd been there.  It was such an interesting spin on the tale and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment I spent reading it. 

The first thing that really pulled me into this story was the darkness.  This isn't the goofy, silly Wonderland we all know.  This place is downright scary.  I had chills while reading some part of this.  It was such a different take on Wonderland that I couldn't help but be immediately attached to this world that A. G. Howard has made.  It could be slightly frustrating at times because there was no real logic woven into it.  It was all chaos but I think that's part of its charm.  You never knew what you'd see next and that kept me at the edge of my seat.  

I also liked Alyssa.  I thought she did a wonderful job keeping her wits about her considering what sort of position she was forced into.  She was strong and smart and, even though she had some help along the way, did an outstanding job of fighting for what she wanted.  She was a strong heroine and I enjoyed her voice and following her on this adventure.

And than there's the boys - my favorite.  I really cannot decide between the two of them.  Jeb was a great character and stayed loyal to Alyssa the entire time.  He was such a great friend and an awesome supporter of her as they went through this adventure together.  However, it was a little angering how he always tried to control her life, even before they went to Wonderland.  He never really let her do things herself.  Morpheus, on the other hand, is the complete opposite.  He knows that Alyssa can do it and he never doubts her.  He lets her find things out on her own.  He also protects her with all that he has.  And even though he was a little lacking in the moral department, you could see how much he admired and love Alyssa through all that he did for her.  He was also a lot deeper and interesting than Jeb.  I wanted to learn more about him and delve farther into his past.  Okay, that decides it.  I officially like Morpheus better.  

If you have yet to pick up this book, I don't know what you're waiting for.  It is so awesome.  There's so much magic and mystery and action.  The characters are amazing and the world is absolutely haunting but so beautiful, you can't help but be in love with it.  Go out and buy this book, you won't regret it!

Review: Alice in Zombieland

Title:  Alice in Zombieland
Series:  White Rabbit Chronicles #1
Author:  Gena Showalter
Publisher:  Harlequin Teen
Pages:  404
Format:  Hardcover

She won’t rest until she’s sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.
Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that’s all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.
Her father was right. The monsters are real….
To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn’t careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies….
I wish I could go back and do a thousand things differently.I'd tell my sister no.I'd never beg my mother to talk to my dad.I'd zip my lips and swallow those hateful words.Or, barring all of that, I'd hug my sister, my mom and my dad one last time.I'd tell them I love them.I wish... Yeah, I wish.

My Review:  I was so happy when I got this book!  I had heard a lot of great things about it and - hello - it looked as though it would have something to do with Alice in Wonderland, which, in case you haven't noticed, I'm sort of obsessed with.  

And I'm happy to say I quite enjoyed this read.  

The plot was great - heart pounding and fast paced with lots of great zombie fighting scenes.  I really loved seeing the way it changed Alice (or better known as Ali) from being someone who was broken and defeated to a badass heroine with some mad fighting skills.  I also thought the whole "spirit zombies" idea was wonderful.  It added a unique twist on a typical zombie book.  There were a few slower parts and a few scenes where I had to go back and reread because it had been unclear but overall I thought the plot was exciting and fun.  

The characters were all amazing.  Ali was a strong and witty female lead character who was able to stand up for herself when it came to zombies and super hot boys.  Speaking of which . . . Cole was a VERY enjoyable part of this book.  It took me a while to warm up to him but I did end up liking him quite a bit.  He was a good leader and the perfect match for Ali.  They really complimented each other.  Another character I absolutely adored was Kat.  She was energetic and fun and shined throughout this book, even though she was not a leading character.  I loved the scenes she was in.  

The only problem I had with was the fact that there wasn't much Alice in Wonderland in this read.  Besides a few references and the titles, there were really no similarities between the two stories.  I was disappointed as that had been a major reason I was so interested in this book.  It almost felt a bit forced to have the connections.  There was no real use for them.  The book, without the Alice in Wonderland references, would have been just as good.  

Still, I enjoyed this book a lot.  I thought the characters were charming, the zombies were disgusting and creepy, and the plot was fun and interesting.  If you have yet to pick up this book, I would highly suggest you check it out!

Title:  Splintered

What I'm Waiting on Splintered:  Another Alice and Wonderland themed novel?  Count me in.  When I read the blurb of this one, I was immediately eager to get my hands on it.  It sounds so unique, especially the bit about how the main character is a descendant of Alice Liddell.  I'm also quite curious about this Morpheous character.  He sounds very interesting!
