For now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When her mother's mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality.

She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlyssa is one of the most unique protagonists I've come across in a while. \u003ci\u003eSplintered\u003c\/i\u003e is dark, twisted, entirely riveting, and a truly romantic tale.\" --\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSplintered series: \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSplintered \u003c\/i\u003e(#1) \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnhinged \u003c\/i\u003e(#2) \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnsnared \u003c\/i\u003e(#3) \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUntamed \u003c\/i\u003e(The Companion Novel) \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA.
