Review: Splintered

This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a mystical under-land, as well as a girl’s pangs of first love and independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers—precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.
When her mother’s mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice’s tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice’s mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.

Now reading this book was ok at the beginning, but when you got to the middle. Wow, just wow you first start out starting to like Jeb, but the moment you me Morpheus, I fell in love with him instantly. I have to say I am one hundred percent team Morpheus in this tale. He is just everything that a girl, like me could dream for, smart, clever, hot, intelligent, arrogant, confidence, etc.…
The book is an excellent read. One can lose one’s self within the pages and not feel time go by. It is a prefect new version with unexpected twist on a classic story. The book is a breath of fresh air after reading the same books for so long. Something totally new compare to what one normally finds.
This book I totally recommend it and I can’t wait to read the sequel, Unhinged that comes out in January 2014.
