“Once again, Howard expands the Alice in Wonderland fairy tales to imagine a terrifying backstory full of sinister toys, talking flowers and insects, and a Jeb/Morpheus/Alyssa love triangle—made more interesting with the addition of wealthy Ivy Raven.

Unhinged lays the groundwork for a third book where anything could happen . . . it is Wonderland, after all." --Julia Smith, Shelf Awareness
"As intense, dark, and weird as the first volume, this worthy sequel creates a parallel narrative that brings the action out of Wonderland and into Alyssa’s hometown . . .

"Put aside all your disney visions and sugary sweetness, what you get inside the pages of Unhinged is deliciously dark and twisted. It’s like reading a Tim Burton movie that’s been on crack. Unhinged needs all the words: ENCHANTING, CAPTIVATING AND ENTHRALLING. Wonderland has never been more appealing." --Book Angel Emma
This second installment of the planned trilogy moves the menacing creatures from Wonderland into Alyssa's world where jealousy and betrayal are at the core.

"Once again, A.G. Howard delivers a fantastically creepy spin on Lewis Carroll's Alice and Wonderland & The Looking Glass. Its versatility, wild creativity, whimsical fashion, and somewhat macabre artistic expressions easily distinguish Unhinged from other humdrum 'down the rabbit hole' spinoffs." --Lyanne Carroll, Daybreak in Autumn
"With so many adaptations of Alice in Wonderland out there, there is a lot of competition but Howard has truly managed to throw them all out of the water with her wispy, dark, yet imaginable images of what Wonderland is really like.

This is a book that I loved from start to finish." --Faye, A Daydreamer's Thoughts
