Release: January 7, 2014
Series: Splintered
Pages: 387
Review: 5 STARS!!!!!

Spoilers for book one ahead!

I have been broken, hit in the feels, all out murdered by this book. Why A.G. Howard, why? Just, AH! And the ending, such a cliffhanger! Are you really going to make us faithful readers wait a full year for Ensnared? You'd be killing me if I weren't already dead! *glares at book* How I loath love hate (you get it) you. Also, check out my review of Splintered, the first book in the series!

The main character is Alyssa Gardner, Aly for short. Quick backstory, this series is a spin-off of Alice in Wonderland. Alyssa is descended from Alice, expect not really. She's descended from the Red Queen disguised as Alice, and now Alyssa has magical powers and is the queen of Wonderland! Aly avoids her powers and has come back to the human world. But at the start of the book, Aly realizes that even though she's left, Wonderland won't let her go. Aly is powerful in so many ways, it's amazing. Inside and out, she's the epitome of beauty, strength, and love. Aly sacrifices so much for those she cares about, specifically her boyfriend Jeb. *growls* I don't exactly care for Jeb. Don't get me wrong, he's perfectly nice and I want good things for him, but there's a love triangle. And I like the other guy more. Anyways, Aly has an awesome fashion sense that I am dying for!

See this picture? According to the author, it played a part in the book and shows Alyssa's fashion sense when it comes to the fancier side of things. That said, I have a plan in place to go to some thrift shops and MAKE this dress if I have to! Aly's head is so fun to be in, I can't get over it! TEAM MORPHEUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I mentioned above, there is a love triangle between Alyssa, Jeb, and guy #3, Morpheus. I am Team Morpheus through and through. See! See!



Have I mentioned how much I love Morpheus? He's cunning and dangerous, but at the same time, caring and kind. In the end, he looks out for Aly, and never doubts her. He's used to her blend of madness, and is the one person, besides possibly her mother, who truly gets it. Especially after all he did for Aly towards the end of Unhinged, I can't stop loving him for the life of me!

This is the result of finishing Unhinged:

And guess what, we have to wait a WHOLE YEAR for the next book. Wait, I think I said that already. Can you see how this review is going. I have been hit in the feels and I'm not getting back up.

As you can tell, this has been a hard journey. I loved Unhinged SO much! I got it from the library last night, and haven't put it down since. With all the books I'll be buying next month, I can't afford to buy it or book one, but as soon as I can, I'm buying these babies! The plot is thick and tense. There are so many twists and turns, I couldn't keep track. People are backstabbed by friends and saved by enemies. The romance is sizzling. I wish there had been more moments between Morpheus and Alyssa, but I hope that that will be remedied in book three. *shoots A.G. Howard a look* Unhinged was complete and utter madness and I loved every moment of it!

P.S. This just in!
