The second book to the Splintered series is very breath taking in the fact that Morpheus comes to the human realm. Alyssa is getting used to dating jeb until something starts to split them apart, that would be Morpheus. In the first book jeb got his memories taken so he remembers nothing about Wonderland and its secrets. Alyssa is trying to keep the two separated but its hurting her heart instead. Morpheus tries showing whats happening to Wonderland under Red's terror and revenge to the people who did her wrong. Alyssa refuses but in the process she awakens her netherling side that craves chaos and manipulation. While jeb gets taken and gets possessed by hunger and tries to hurt Alyssa in the process but when he sees his/her  memories he has to get put in a dream state in order not to go crazy. He ends up getting his memories back and has to help Alyssa, Morpheus, and Alison fight Red and save Wonderland from her wrath.     

 The third book to the Splintered series is amazing. Queen Alyssa has to go to the looking glass world to find Jeb, Morpheus, and most of all Queen Red. In the process she has to get her father's lost memories back and once that happens he can find the way into the AnyWhereElse. While her mother got stuck in wonderland due to a prom Apocalypse where they fought Red and sister two. She has to find a way to save jeb and moth boy and get to wonderland in time to stop the decay. All while her heart splits in 2. 

This book is amazing, it has a nice twist on the Alice in Wonderland story. The main character is Alyssa. Her mother is in the insane asylum because she can hear bugs and flowers talking well so can Alyssa because that's their family secret. They are descendants and Alice Lendell. Alyssa expresses this through her bug mosaics of dreams she has of wonderland but they are more like memories to her, because when she was little she had a netherling friend named Morpheus that only visited her in her dreams and taught her about wonderland and the netherling creatures that live there. Well as she grew older he visited her less and less until she forgot about him completely. Then her best friends arive Jeb and Jen. On prom night Jeb has a fight with his girlfriend and goes to Alyssa's house and see's her going through the mirror to get to the rabbit hole so she can save wonderland.
