A Dark Twist? Or A Spiral Downward?!




A.G Howard’s book Unhinged (sequel to Splintered) is nothing short of magical. It’s gotten a bit darker, slightly more chaotic, and even more alluring! 
A.G Howard has a sight for detail and imagination bringing life to Wonderland’s creatures through her mastership of writing. I got excited every time I delved back into the book, never wanting to reach the end.
That being said….. I MUST SAY: “There best be another book in the works!” 

I need to know what has happened to everyone that is in Wonderland. I’m dying to find out. I’d have to say this sequel may have, by far, surpassed it’s first counterpart.
The characters… the scenery… the emotion and mood. It’s savage, fervent, and inspiring. 
She has the knack to write and I cannot wait to see more from her.
Kiss approved :***** 5/5

Splintered? Or Shattered?!?!?

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

The Looking Glass Wars- A Wonderland? Or A Nightmare?!?!?




Beddor draws you into Wonderland  during an unsettling time where kingdoms are on the brink of war, power is what matters most, and those that have it must fight to keep it.
Alyss just a young princess, a mere child, is oblivious to the ominous clouds of trouble brewing on the horizon as she lets her imagination run wild. Little does she know she'll need all of it to save her kingdom.
Beddor paints the story with his words as smooth, and his imagination as 'Wonderlandish', as Salvador Dali. His writing and imagination is close to brilliance as he gives a twist to the classic Alice in Wonderland as we ride on the backs of spirit danes across Outerwilderbestia.... search for answers from the Caterpillar Oracles and follow Alyss Heart on her journey to defeat her Aunt Redd.
As always read it for yourself!
