Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit hole and faced the bandersnatch. She saved the life of Jeb, the guy she loves, and escaped the machinations of the disturbingly seductive Morpheus and the vindictive Queen Red. Now all she has to do is graduate high school and make it through prom so she can attend the prestigious art school in London she's always dreamed of.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.
As prom and graduation creep closer, Alyssa juggles Morpheus’s unsettling presence in her real world with trying to tell Jeb the truth about a past he’s forgotten. Glimpses of Wonderland start to bleed through her art and into her world in very disturbing ways, and Morpheus warns that Queen Red won’t be far behind.
If Alyssa stays in the human realm, she could endanger Jeb, her parents, and everyone she loves. But if she steps through the rabbit hole again, she'll face a deadly battle that could cost more than just her head
I am very excited to be a part of this tour and today I present to you a guest post from the author herself!
Welcome to stop #5…
Sometimes, the most romantic stories are the ones with a darker side. Love shimmers that much brighter, when there’s no other light to be found.
Alyssa’s parents, Thomas and Alison Gardner, have not had an easy romance. Still, they’ve stayed true to one another through everything from broken hearts, family secrets, and insanity. In Unhinged, you’ll learn the real story of their past—how bleak it once was for them both—and the sacrifices they’ve made to be
together.
One of their favorite passtimes, now that Alison is home from the asylum, is reading books together every evening in bed. Thomas says they tend to be drawn to classical novels with a tragic or gloomy slant because, “We sometimes want to see someone claw their way out of an even darker place than we were once in. And if the hero and heroine aren’t as lucky as we’ve been—finding each other again—it gives us yet another reason to cherish and be grateful for what we have now.”
Here are Thomas and Alison’s top 5 haunting, romantic reads:

A.G. Howard was inspired to write SPLINTERED while working at a school library. She always wondered what would've happened had the subtle creepiness of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland taken center stage, and she hopes her darker and funkier tribute to Carroll will inspire readers to seek out the stories that won her heart as a child.
When she's not writing, A.G.'s pastimes are reading, rollerblading, gardening, and family vacations which often include impromptu side trips to 18th century graveyards or condemned schoolhouses to appease her overactive muse.
