Splintered, by A. G. Howard

This post contains no spoilers, just what I thought of the book and my view on age recommendations
next week I'll post more about Splintered

I loved this book and I couldn't put it down. I think I read it in like two days. It may be a little mature but I loved it. It incorporates magic with the real world and it's based off of Alice in Wonderland. It may be a little gruesome at times. Like near the end, but that wasn't so bad. I fell in love with the character, especially Rabid White, Howard's take on the White Rabbit. And, I've read a lot of books with love triangles, this one is weird.
For ages I would say 13 and up, but that's just me.
Splintered is the first book in the trilogy and there is also compaine book with stories after Ensnared, the last book.
Oh and one more thing. I said this is based off Alice in Wonderland, please do not mistake that for a retelling, this is more like three generations after that, set in our time and Wonderlands version of time. If you read the book you'll know what I mean by that. So to recap, Alyssa is not Alice.
Bye until next week.

Insanity, Book one, By Cameron Jace

I read this book is great... but I would not suggest it for anyone 12 or under, even thought I read when I was 12, wh the reason for this is because, girls are getting murdered by the Cheshire cat and getting their mouths sewn into smiles. I also wouldn't recommend it if you love the Cheshire cat or the Caterpillar.
Spoilers coming up 
Alice Wonder has been a patient at the Radcliffe Lunatic Asylum for the past 2 years, after accidentally killing her boyfriend and class. There she is subject to shock therapy in the "mushroom" an doses of medications. Not to mention her pet tiger lily, that taunts her everyday. Then Pillar the Killer (aka the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland) wants to see her, and asks her to help him find the Cheshire Killer, she agrees in exchange for him telling her, her lost memories. He helps her on her adventure to find the Cheshire killer. He gets her out of the asylum for the first time. She begins her fake life under the alias of a Oxford psychology student. On her first trip she meets the mystery Jack Diamonds. The Pillar and Alice meet the duchess, the White Queen, and the Red Queen. Though this is not actually said for a while, a lot of fans, like me, think that the Queen of England is the Red Queen. The Cheshire leaves hints and puzzles for Alice and the Pillar to follow. Alice has to save poor little Constance from the Cheshire more than once. Once when he hides her behind the great fire place in Oxford and once when the Cheshire sucks his smiles souls out of her, at the cat throwing festival. With the help of Jack they escape. For about a week, then the next book starts.
All in all I loved this book. It was great, sometimes it was a little, gruesome, at times, but it wasn't like that most of the time.
