Unhinged (Splintered Series #2): Splintered Book Two
Description
Unhinged is the second novel in New York Times bestselling author A. G. Howard's dark fantasy Splintered series. Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit hole. She was crowned Queen of the Red Court and faced the bandersnatch. She saved the life of Jeb, the boy she loves, and escaped the machinations of the disturbingly appealing Morpheus. Now all she has to do is graduate high school. 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. Could she leave Jeb and her parents behind again, for the sake of a man she knows has manipulated her before? Will her mother and Jeb trust her to do what's right? Readers will swoon over the satisfying return to Howard's bold, sensual reimagining of Carroll's classic. "I really enjoyed the first book of this series, but Unhinged cranks the Wonderland experience up to 11." -USA Today Splintered series:Splintered (#1)Unhinged (#2)Ensnared (#3)Untamed (The Companion Novel)
