Review to come!! 
 Update 1/18/14: 
 First of all, I have to bring attention to this cover. It's absolutely gorgeous, and fits this book so incredibly well!!! Plus, it's Morpheus, and you just can't beat that! Moving on... 
 This was an absolutely fantastic sequel to Splintered. Alyssa thought she was finished with Wonderland, but it's definitely not finished with her. It's 1 year later, and Alyssa is dealing with her Mom, freshly released from the asylum, and a boyfriend, Jeb who doesn't remember a thing. Alyssa is torn between telling him the truth or continue living the lie, when a certain someone pops back into her life. Ms. Howard weaves such a vivid, beautiful tale that is not only completely original and unique, but a fantastic thrill ride that never lets you go. You are drawn into the story from the very first page, and you never want to stop reading. The words flow effortlessly off the page, and it showcases Ms. Howard's extreme talent for writing. This book answers some major questions we had in Splintered, but creates even more questions just waiting to be answered in the next book. All I can say, is that I am so thankful this series is going to have another book because I couldn't give this series up yet, and there is still so much more to explore. 
 Alyssa definitely grows into a stronger main character in this book. Even though she doubts herself and her feelings, she still is kick-ass as ever. She fights until the very end, and I can't wait to see her plans are in the next book. One thing that I love about her character is her realistic nature. She is incredibly relatable, and even with all the craziness around her, she still faces things that a normal teenage girl would...like finding herself torn between 2 boys. Even though I was torn between Jeb and Morpheus in the last book (still leaning more toward Morpheus), I am so completely for Alyssa ending up with Morpheus!!! Morpheus shows us, and Alyssa, a different side in this novel, and boy is it good. He shows just how far he is willing to go, and how much he is willing to sacrifice for the girl he is infatuated with. And some of his secrets are revealed. I loved learning more about him, and I hope everything works out in the end. 
 My heart broke in the last chapter of this book for multiple reasons; one of those being because it was the end, and I 
 NEED 
 more! I need to know where this story is going, and what is going to happen to these characters that I've become so attached to. What is Alyssa's plan?! How is everything going to work out?! I highly recommend this book to any fan of the first novel, you won't be disappointed. This is a surefire hit, and I can't wait to see what Ms. Howard has in store for us next. I just hope we don't have to wait too long! Happy reading :)
