Splintered by A. G. Howard
We are captured in the very start of this story as Allie's (our main female role) tale unfolds before us. We learn her family is very uniquely cursed. Cursed by the Alice, the one who followed a white rabbit down the rabbit hole. Do you remember? You know that cute Disney fairytale??? Alice in Wonderland!?!?!
However... this novel is the Donnie Darko version of Alice in Wonderland. And if you haven't seen Donnie Darko you should probably take a couple hours out of your day, rent, and watch it. It's a classic although pretty twisted.
ANYWAY!
A dark Alice in Wonderland. One with schizophrenic mothers and a white rabbit who isn't so white... and is more rabid than rabbit. The tale is a bit more twisted than I would've guessed. But along with the dark there's a balance of light. A balance of cute romance and a handful of mystery :)
This book was one of those that made me excited to read at every spare moment, every open opportunity, that I had. I couldn't finish this book fast enough.
A.G Howard is 2 parts twisted and 1 part magical ;) I'm HOOKED!
Kiss approved. :***** 5/5
