Synopsis:

A post-Ensnared collection of three stories—available in both print and e-versions.

Alyssa Gardner went down the rabbit hole and took control of her destiny. She survived the battle for Wonderland and the battle for her heart. In this collection of three novellas, join Alyssa and her family as they look back at their memories of Wonderland. 

In Six Impossible Things, Alyssa recalls the most precious moments of her life after Ensnared, and the role magic plays in preserving the happiness of those she loves. Alyssa’s mother reminisces about her own time in Wonderland and rescuing the man who would become her husband in The Boy in the Web. And Morpheus delves into Jeb’s memories of the events of Splintered in The Moth in the Mirror, available in print for the first time.

This collection expands upon Ensnared's epilogue, and includes some deleted scenes to provide a “director’s cut” glimpse into the past and futures of our favorite Splintered characters

TITLE: ENSNARED (SPLINTERED #3)

AUTHOR: A.G. HOWARD

PAGE COUNT: 384

EXPECTED RELEASE DATE: JANUARY 6, 2015

PUBLISHER: AMULET BOOKS

SYNOPSIS:

 After surviving a disastrous battle at prom, Alyssa has embraced her madness and gained perspective. She's determined to rescue her two worlds and the people and netherlings she loves. Even if it means challenging Queen Red to a final battle of wills and wiles . . . and even if the only way to Wonderland, now that the rabbit hole is closed, is through the looking-glass world--a parallel dimension filled with mutated and violent netherling outcasts. In the final installment of the wildly popular Splintered trilogy, Alyssa and her dad journey into the heart of magic and mayhem in search of her mom and to set right all that's gone wrong. Together with Jeb and Morpheus, they must salvage Wonderland from the decay and destruction that has ensnared it. But if they succeed and come out alive, can everyone truly have their happily ever after?

MY THOUGHTS:

I cant wait for the last book in this amazing trilogy to come out! It's going to be a bittersweet moment for me. I want to see how it ends, but at the same time I don't want it to end. I'm going to miss the beautiful and dark world that A.G. Howard introduced me to, not to mention the characters I have grown to love ( Morpheus) lol.  If you have not read this trilogy I highly recommend it! A.G did an amazing job reimagining Wonderland and the wonderland characters. She is brilliant this is by far my favorite Alice in Wonderland retelling, that I wish would never end! but unfortunately all good things must come to an end! Oh and we just take a moment to admire the gorgeous cover!

UNHINGED

TITLE: UNHINGED
AUTHOR: A.G. HOWARD
PAGE COUNT: 387
YEAR PUBLISHED: 2014
RATING: 5 OUT OF 5 STARS


WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT:

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 TOUGHTS ON THE BOOK:

This sequel to Splintered was perfect! There is so much more Morpheus which I love Team Morpheus lol. In this book Wonderland starts slipping into Alyssa's real world where she thought her family, Jeb, and her where safe. Morpheus  tries to convince Alyssa to accept that she is as much part of wonderland as she is to the human realm and this makes Alyssa a little mad. I don't want to give to much away so I'm going to stop there.  This book doesn't have as much hype it deserves it's AMAZING A.G. Howard is a brilliant writer the way she describes wonderland you just want to be a part of it and the character development is perfect. If you have not started this series you must you wont regret it. Oh and the ending the ending in this book will leave you wanting more.
