Wonderland causes real-world trouble for a teenage descendant of Alice in this romantic, dark fantasy sequel by the bestselling author of Splintered.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. It’s just . . . WOW! The last few scenes dangle Alyssa’s next adventure with shockers enough that I found my jaw needing a bit of assistance in coming off the floor. Write quickly, A. G. Howard! I need that next book!”—USA Today“Howard excels in sensory and sensuous descriptions.” —Kirkus Reviews “As intense, dark, and weird as the first volume, this worthy sequel creates a parallel narrative that brings the action out of Wonderland and into Alyssa’s hometown.” —The Bulletin of The Center for Children’s Books“A dark beauty fills the novel's pages, which will mesmerize teens with a taste for magic, romance or suspense. Unhinged lays the groundwork for a third book where anything could happen—it is Wonderland, after all.” —Shelf Awareness

"Wtf did I just read? This was a wild little story."
Sienna Araya
"Thought this wasn’t as good as the first book but was okay. I think the saving grace for me was that it was a great ending. The main character was kind of annoying in this book so that just soured my mood when reading. 3.5/5 #fantasy "
Meg
"I read this trilogy when I was younger, but I still have fond memories of it. I love the story concept and it's play on Lewis Carol's "Alice in Wonderland"."

"Only takes an hour to read. As a friend of mine said: “It respected my time.” And that is sexy."

"Publicado originalmente: <a href="http://el-extrano-gato-del-cuento.blogspot.com/">El Extraño Gato del Cuento</a><br/><br/>Cuando terminé Susurros (nombre de su versión en español) quedé tan encantada con la historia que tenía TERROR de leer Unhinged, a veces las continuaciones no tienden a igualar, o mucho menos, superar la experiencia de leer el primer libro. Pero Unhinged, oh, vaca, Unhinged...<br/><br/>No tengo idea por dónde empezar.<br/><br/>Cuando la persona que me prestó su copia de Unhinged me la ofreció, básicamente la taclee para que me diera el libro (#SorryNotSorry), la cosa es un poco curiosa, he participado en TODOS los concursos que se hicieron para ganar el ARC... y no gané ninguno. NINGUNO. ¿Saben lo que fue eso? Tratando de sobornar a A.G. Howard para que me diera el libro y nada. Fue horrible.<br/><br/>Empezando por la maquetación del libro, es preciosa, muy bien cuidada, los detalles de inicio de capítulo, muy bonitos.<br/><br/>Si en Susurros estuve confundida por escoger un "Team" o al menos quién me gustaba más, con Unhinged ya no hay duda, mi amor por Morfeo no tiene límite. Es que la escritora me lo puso muy fácil, la historia que nos trajo esta vez, si bien Jeb tiene un importante rol, más maduro, podría decirse, con cierta bomba que soltó Howard, no tuvo oportunidad conmigo. Y en cuanto a la bomba, no es tanto lo qué es, sino cómo eso afecta al desarrollo de los personajes. Al menos de dos. ¿Cómo una escritora puede derretir y romper tu corazón al mismo tiempo?<br/><br/>Tengo un conflicto con Al porque no sé si me cae del todo bien, quizá sea el hecho que si a mí me dieran la entrada a Wonderland, no miraría atrás y sería feliz en la locura de su mundo.<br/><br/>Me encantó cada palabra puesta en este libro, cada giro de trama, cada maldita palabra que decía Morfeo (lo adoro, lo siento si canso con esto). Y por la **** ¡qué final! Y quieren que espere hasta 2015 para el siguiente libro. JA, NO. Si ya antes acosaba por twitter a Anita, ahora me tendrá que bloquear si quiere estar en paz (?)<br/><br/>My feels ♥ <b>AME ESTE LIBRO, PUNTO</b><br/><br/>Reseña completa: <a href="http://el-extrano-gato-del-cuento.blogspot.com/2014/02/ag-howard-splintered-02-unhinged-resena.html">El Extraño Gato del Cuento</a>"
