Review: Ensnared by A.G. Howard


Ensnared (Splintered #3) by A.G. Howard
Publishers: Amulet Books
Published: January 6th, 2015
Pages: 384
After surviving a disastrous battle at prom, Alyssa has embraced her madness and gained perspective. She's determined to rescue her two worlds and the people and netherlings she loves. Even if it means challenging Queen Red to a final battle of wills and wiles . . . and even if the only way to Wonderland, now that the rabbit hole is closed, is through the looking-glass world--a parallel dimension filled with mutated and violent netherling outcasts. In the final installment of the wildly popular Splintered trilogy, Alyssa and her dad journey into the heart of magic and mayhem in search of her mom and to set right all that's gone wrong. Together with Jeb and Morpheus, they must salvage Wonderland from the decay and destruction that has ensnared it. But if they succeed and come out alive, can everyone truly have their happily ever after?


Long time no see! I hope that the rest of 2014 treated you well and that 2015 is off to a great start for you. This year I have a lot of books on my to read list, so hopefully I'll get back to writing reviews regularly. I'm not sure if I'm going to do promos as much, but I do love reviewing and I think that this will be a solid feature here on the blog.

Cover Time!
This cover is gorgeous, just like all of them were. At first I was super confused as to the paint on Jeb's eye, but once you start reading it'll make sense. A lot of folks had ideas as to what was going to happen but I was surprised! The red coloring also  plays an important factor!
There are a lot of details that will connect to the cover, and I've found that to be true for all three of the books in the trilogy, so look closely!

Also, be prepared to cry a bit. There were many, MANY ups and downs and tricks. I cried quite a bit over things that didn't even happen, and if that doesn't make sense, then don't worry, it will once you read it.

This was a heart wrenching ending to the series and I'm thrilled to have been a part of the ride. I hear that there may be a novella in the works, which is welcomed information since the epilogue of this story killed me.

I know, a lot of you are wondering who Alyssa is going to end up with? Jeb or Morpheus? Well, I'm not telling. You're just going to have to read to find out!

5 out of 5 Triquetras to this wonderful story. I hope we get to see more of the characters soon.
