ReplyDeleteI agree. He's sooooo beautiful. *swoon* Good luck in the giveaway!
DeleteI loved the trailer. It makes me really want to read the last book even more. My favorite character from splintered is obviously Jeb
ReplyDeleteHe's such a noble guy. Tortured with a heart of gold. ;) Good luck w/the giveaway!
DeleteTeam Jeb!!!!
DeleteI'd kill for a copy of this right now, haha. And uhm, of course my favourite character is Morpheus, how can it not? ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL. There's no need for violence, although that kind of attitude would be both accepted and encouraged by Morpheus, no doubt. ;) Good luck!
DeleteWONDERFUL!! I can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteYAY!! A perf book trailer I'm so excited about it!! Too bad I'll have to wait until it comes out in Spain :/ You're awesome Anita!!

ReplyDeleteThanks! You can buy posters of the covers from the artist on her website here: http://society6.com/nathaliasuellen/prints. Good luck with the giveaway!
DeleteThe trailer just makes me want to know more! I love this reimagining of Alice in Wonderland; it's so fresh and exciting!! I'm not even sure I could pick a favorite character. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I know, it's hard. I can't pick one. Good luck w/the giveaway!
DeleteAwesome trailer. I'm very excited for this book. Can't wait to read it. Keep up the wonderful writing! 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll do my best! :) And good luck!
DeleteThat trailer was amazing, made me even more crazy, I need it now! Of course my fave is Morpheus! If I'm picked, it would be my first ARC.
ReplyDeleteWell, fingers crossed for you! ARCs are pretty cool. And thanks for the compliment about the trailer. :)
DeleteCan't wait for this book, along with Chessie being my favorite character
ReplyDeleteOMG I LOVED IT!!!! :D :D I cant wait for this !!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this trailer and can't wait for the book!!!
ReplyDeleteThe trailer is haunting and gorgeous! And I don't know that I have just one favorite character. I love them all for different reasons. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. And me, too. :) Hope you win something!
DeleteI love this trailer! All the photos are amazing! I can't wait for the book!! (I'm from Spain and I don't know when the book will be published here).
ReplyDeleteSorry you have to wait a little bit for the books there, but I can assure you the third one will be published there because it's been bought by Oz. And I liked those pictures, too. Aren't they great? I was so excited to find such great Alice ones. :)
DeleteWell I'm at school at the moment and everyone around me is giving me weird looks because i just squealed. Don't judge me...I'm excited! (who wouldn't be? IT'S A.G. HOWARD FOR CHRIST'S SAKE)
ReplyDeleteAw, haha! Thanks! As long as you don't get in trouble by the teacher, all is well. ;) Good luck w/the giveaway!
DeleteDunno if my comment showed up but Morpheus is my favorite character even though he can exasperating most times :)
ReplyDeleteYour comment is here, so no worries. And agreed, he can be very exasperating, but I think that must be part of his charm. He just wouldn't be Morpheus without it. ;)
DeleteWhy cant it be out already! I cant wait! I miss my morpheus!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Alice in Wonderland character is definitely the Cheshire Cat. Thanks for the giveaway! :D
ReplyDeleteI like the trailer. Alice is my favorite although I think that's a boring answer. I am often told I'm overly curious so that might be why.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing boring about liking Alice. She's one of my favorites, too. ;) Good luck!
DeleteSo unbelievably excited! I loved Splintered and Unhinged and cannot wait for Ensnared!!!
ReplyDeleteSo excited! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Alice in Wonderland character is Alice.
Oooh! Awesome trailer! I can't wait for Ensnared! :)
ReplyDeletethe trailer is really good! i loved the first two books, can´t wait for the last one :D
ReplyDeleteAlyssa.
ReplyDeleteI love this series. A lot. I don't think I have ever obsessed over a book series for this long in my life. When I finished Unhinged, I was so overwhelmed with emotion that I almost threw the book across the room, but I didn't because to do that to a book so beautiful would be a crime. When I realized that it was only July and Ensnared won't be out until January, I'm pretty sure I cried. But anyways, this is my favorite series. I love Alyssa, she is awesome, and I will admit I might be in love with Morpheus. Well, I will be counting the days until Ensnared but until then, I would like to say thank you for Splintered.
ReplyDeleteBye!
Thanks so much for supporting my books! And I'm glad you were able to refrain from tossing Unhinged across the room. LOL. May the rafflecopter odds be ever in your favor. ;)
DeletePerfect! I cannot wait
ReplyDeleteGreat trailer and thanks for the giveaway! My favorite character is Alice and Alyssa. <3
ReplyDeleteI love the trailer! I'm a huge Jeb fan, but Unhinged REALLY made me love Morpheus. Now I'm torn between them. Alyssa is pretty darn awesome too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win!
-Emily
Haha. Unhinged had that effect on a lot of readers. Morpheus really turned on his charm in that one. I totally understand feeling torn! Good luck w/the giveaway. :)
DeleteTo say I can't wait is an understatement. I loved your first two books and the novella. So excited, especially after seeing the trailer. Thank you for the give aways and the updates.
ReplyDeleteOf course, and thank you for supporting the series! *fingers crossed for you*
DeleteThe trailer makes me even more excited for Ensnared, Anita! :-D <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie! Wishing you much luck! :)
DeleteI like the trailer. My favorite is the Cheshire Cat ^^
ReplyDeleteLuh
I absolutely love your series! Morph is my favorite character and the Cheshire Cat! You gave them souls ! The trailer just made me want to re-read the books once more until I have my hands on Ensnared! Your an amazing writer I love your style of writing and the worlds you have created!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you Selene! That's the nicest thing you could say about my characters and writing! I'm so happy you like my worlds. They're soooo much fun to play in... ;) Good luck w/the giveaway!
DeleteYour very welcome! I Love your style of writing It speaks to me and I know thats how i want my work to be on others! Great work!
DeleteCant wait!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read!!!
I'm pretty sure you know who my favorite character is... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway, Sweets.
SMUGS!
Hehe. Yeah, no contest, right? And SMUGS right backatya. May the rafflecopter odds be ever in your favor, EPIC one. :)
DeleteTeam Jeb!!!!
DeleteI really liked the trailer!! My favorite image was of the two roses, one red, one white, bleeding into one another and forming a heart.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I saw the Carebear's version of Alice In Wonderland many more times in my life than the regular version. So I don't really have a favorite character in Alice In Wonderland; but I do enjoy the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat :)
I love that picture, too. :) And what? I didn't even know there was a Carebear version. So cute! Good luck with the giveaway!
Deletethe trailer was amazing super excited for the book
ReplyDeleteI love Alyssa with Jeb. I can't wait to see how the storyline turns out. It's so awesome that her father is now involved.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! And yep, her dad is pretty cool in this book. ;)
DeleteYou know I'm EXCITED!!! Oh dude, I cannot wait to get my hands on this!!! Great prizes!!
ReplyDeleteI love the trailer and my favourite character is alyssa. She's one of my top heroines and one of the reasons I love this book. Thank you for writing a brilliant series :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it! And Alyssa's one of my faves, too. Of course I guess they all are. LOL. ;) Good luck!
DeleteThe trailer was wonderful! My favorite Splintered character is Morpheus for sure although it's not much of a surprised because the caterpillar is my favorite Alice in Wonderland character =P
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! I loved the caterpillar, too. That's why I chose him to be one of the main players in this version. :) Good luck in the giveaway!
DeleteMorpheus is absolutely my favorite Splintered character :D
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Splintered character is Morpheus, and my favorite Alice in Wonderland character is the Mad Hatter. I'm so excited for this release!
ReplyDeleteOMG i can´t belive it ,i'm hope to get this :3 , i will bought unhinged it look like be amazing!!!!!1
ReplyDeleteMORPHEUS MORPHEUS MORPHEUS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper excited about Ensnared!!! I need an arc of it to go with my Splintered and Unhinged arcs!!
ReplyDeleteI do have a concern, though...I'm an indie bookseller, so I can't in good conscience share the B&N or Amazon page for Ensnared, as I'd actually be telling people to support competitors to where I work :(. And there's no indiebound or independent bookstore equivalent on the rafflecopter. Is there any way I could share something from one of those instead and still enter?? The bookstore where I work has Ensnared on our website (http://www.cavalierhousebooks.com/book/9781419712296), on our teen popular preorders page (http://www.cavalierhousebooks.com/popular-teen-pre-orders), and we're currently in the process of making author pages for our website for future releases we're excited about, and though it's not done yet, I have been planning to make one for you and the Splintered series. Therefore, I would MUCH rather link to that than the Amazon page, as sharing this stuff is stuff that I have actually worked on and made because I personally am excited about this series and this book and personally want to get other people hyped about it. I'm not going to share Amazon or Barnes and Noble's pages and encourage people to buy from my competitors, especially when I am actually the person making the content for CavalierHouseBooks.com, and the content will be there not simply because it exists but because I am actually excited about it and because we plan to stock the book (which is also partially because I am excited about it). I'm just disappointed to see so much support for B&N and Amazon and complete ignorance of indie booksellers who are trying just as hard to get other people excited about these books and who are probably more excited themselves about it. Regardless of whether or not it will earn me entries in the contest, I do still plan to share the CHB Ensnared pages, especially because I do know people that I have gotten to read and love the books that will be interested: https://www.facebook.com/victoria.representative/posts/560868390707455
http://thevictoriousone.tumblr.com/post/98997047941/ensnared-splintered-book-three-cavalier-house-books
That's an awesome point! I've made an adjustment to my rafflecopter for Indie stores as an entry, too. I never figured out a way to incorporate that, but I think this works really well! Thank you, and I'll be sure to always have that option from this point on. Good luck in the giveaway!
DeleteThank you so much!!!!!!
DeleteOf course! Thank YOU for giving me the idea for the other entry option, and for supporting our books and selling them!
DeleteMorpheus is the obvious Splintered favorite, but Alyssa is actually a close second. :) As for an AiW character... Cheshire Cat. Most definitely! (Followed closely by The Mad Hatter, The Hooka Smokin' Caterpillar, and the talking flowers. :3)
ReplyDeleteI'm still reading the second and it's hard to pick just one favorite character. I'm having the same emotions that Alyssa, an hour I love and another hour I hate Jeb and Morpheus. kkkkk
ReplyDeleteVery, very excited and hoping to win !! Brazil loves you. o///////
Haha. Yes, those boys can be hard to love sometimes. ;P Thanks for sending love from Brazil! So excited that everyone can read my books there. :)
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThe trailer was fantastic, and quite creepy too! I cannot wait to discover more about Alyssa's dad, and the three queens?? SO exciting!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for making the giveaway international!! The only way for me to get an ARC!
Glad you liked it! And of course. I'm always happy to include INTL readers. :D
DeleteHi hi hi Pili!!!!!
DeleteMy favorite character from Alice in Wonderland has always been the Mad Hatter XD lately though, in the mangas I have read, the Cheshire Cat has been my favorite XD
ReplyDeleteMorpheus will always be my favourite character I'm pretty sure. But I'm SO FREAKISHLY EXCITED for Ensnared!! I'm counting down the days. XD
ReplyDeleteHaha. For some reason, I'm not surprised by your answer. Can't wait to share book 3 with everyone! :) Good luck in the giveaway, Cait.
DeleteOh my gosh, those ARCs are so PRETTY!!! Love all of the covers in this series. My favorite character? Gosh, it's hard to choose. I've always loved the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. But in your series, Morpheus is my FAVORITE!! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha. Morpheus seems to be a lot of people's favorite. ;)
DeleteNo surprise here but Morpheus is my favorite character in the Splintered series. He's a fantastic character. You never know what he's gonna say or do next! :D
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Ensnared to come out!
It's true. He's unpredictable even to me. And that's saying a lot. LOL
DeleteI'm going insane waiting for this book.....why does January have to be so far away?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh the trailer just made me even more excited and oh dear 0.0 i cant decide but if i have to then Morpheus is my fav <3
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool giveaway! Thank you so much for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI think the trailer is amazing! I'm so excited for this book! I love Morpheus!
ReplyDeleteI love the Mad Hatter!!! Congrats on the new release!
ReplyDeleteMorpheus! I love love LOVE him!
ReplyDeleteYou became my diva! Was standing on a project not knowing how to perform the personality I wanted, but after reading your book and see how did the personality of Morpheus (who happened to personality type that I wanted), I'm inspired again!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I loved your story and I hope you write more books!
PS: I am a Brazilian fan ... so the writing may be wrong ...
I'm glad the books inspired you! :)
DeleteI loved it! I liked the pic with one of the redish queens holding a teapot upside down. My favorite character is Morpheus from your series and the Mad Hatter from the original books/movies. :)
ReplyDeleteI like that picture, too. ;) That one and the three queens are my faves. Thanks for taking part!
DeleteI have zero idea what happened to my first blog post ;-;
ReplyDeleteI guess it didn't go through or something. Well!
I love the trailer, and I have so many favorites *fidgets with excitedness*
Aside from Morph, I love Chessie. Not-cats are totally my thing. Especially when they're tiny and puffy and floaty and ASDF
In the original book, I like the Red King and Queen for their slight battiness and the way they go so well together :)
*waves* I never saw the other post. Sorry about that! So weird... I wonder if some naughty netherling had something to do with it. ;P
DeleteI love Chessie, too! And my fave in the original was the caterpillar. :)
Thanks for dropping in and good luck!

DeleteLOL Da Hanci, I should have known that was your comment when I first read it (before I saw the username), because you are a pro at dropping "subtle" hints like that...
Delete@A.G. <3 *hugs back* or perhaps my vile Internet.... Hmm.... *fiddles with WiFi router*
DeleteOoh, I'm going to need that luck... I never win giveaways XD
@Natalia What, like my subtle fidgeting OwO
*shameless me and my fidgets*
@ DaHanci I meant that part of your comment about the Red King and Queen ;)
Deletethe Ensnared release is going to be the most exciting part of starting 2015!! :D
ReplyDeleteAlice and Wonderland was not my thing to read. This series has changed my mind. The characters and plot are so intricate and smooth, captivating read. No will be disappointed with this!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely comments about the characters and plots. :) Good luck!
DeleteThe trailer hints at a choice Alyssa will have to make. The choice about her 2 halves and her 2 worlds. I think she will combine them both in a way to make her whole.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVED the trailer! I'm so excited for Ensnared!!! My favorite character is Jeb, although I love Morpheus just almost as much (but in a total different way).
ReplyDeleteThanks Deborah! Ah, those two boys. *sighs* LOL. Good luck!
DeleteI am SO excited to get my hands on this beautiful book!!!!! I have been dying to read it!! My all time favorite character from this series is Morpheus. He is such a complex caracter. I love how he is the perfect personification of the gray area between good and evil, order and chaos. His mysterios attitude is absolutely captivating!
ReplyDeleteSo true! Morph is all about the gray. :D May the rafflecopter odds be ever in your favor!
DeleteI so wanted to be able to comment in english but I think only in Portuguese 'll get for the right words . His books are amazing ! Not to say wonderful, always , since childhood , I was fascinated by Alice in Wonderland , as well as his other titles but now , in his words , I was much more tied in history . I almost died reading Unhinged , and the end nearly killed me ! Thanks for this becomes more beautiful story than it already is . And if I stop reading Esnared in the hospital , but I was happy. Now I draw on NEED TO WIN !
ReplyDeletePS : My English is a little rusty , so forgive me for any mistake.
You did a wonderful job with the English. :) So happy you like the series and it's nice to meet someone who loves the original Alice in Wonderland tales, too! Good luck in the giveaway!
DeleteMy favorite character is probably Alyssa! She's fantastic and I love her spunk! I was never a fan of Alice in Wonderland but the dark twist on this classic is awesome! I love when classic books are rewritten with a dark twist!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love Alyssa, too. She has a very compassionate heart when it comes to those she loves, especially. :) Good luck!
DeleteThe trailer was really good and kept me wanting more. :) My favorite character in the Splintered series is Morpheus and in Wonderland is the Mad Hatter.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for this book! I need some more Morpheus in my life! :)
ReplyDeleteI CAN'T WAIT!!! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER BEEN EXCITED FOR A BOOK!!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I first got the book or books since I bought the first and second at the same time.
ReplyDeleteIt was on my birthday and I had gotten some money and a few Barnes and Noble gift cards and so naturally we headed straight to B and N. We were there for two hours and I still hadn't found a book I wanted. I was known to be picky in my choices but I didn't know I had been that picky. My mom was irritated with how long we had been there and started to drag me out the store when I saw . . . him. He was beautiful and totally my type. I immediately ran to him, hugged him and promised to love him forever. We were almost to the register when I realized I had the second book so I ran back to find the first. I bought them both went home, ran to my room and went straight to reading them. Read them both in two days, (Had to eat and sleep ya know.)
Honestly I hadn't thought I would like it, I only grabbed it because Morpheus was just too hot. ALAS! I loved the books and they were better than anything in my collection thus far. So I became obsessed with them and fangirled all over the place (annoying my mother to death.). So I think it's obvious my favorite character is Morpheus and the second book is my favorite. I'm so excited for the third.
Aw, what a great story! Thanks so much for sharing it! Just goes to show what a great book cover can do, right? Wishing you luck in the giveaway!
DeleteMy favorite is obviously MORPHEUS, I don't have enough words to describe how much I love his character :)
ReplyDeleteAnd for some reason I love Rabid White. He is funny and cute. Wait, did I just call a bald skeleton cute? LOL But seriously, I love reading about him.
And I'd like to name Alyssa too, but it depends on the choices she is going to make in Ensnared. I'll be holding on to my hope to see the strong and powerful Queen Alyssa by the end of the book. With King Morpheus by her side.
Oh, and the trailer is really curious. Made me think that maybe the Queen of Hearts will be after the ruby crown too.
*waves* I would never have wondered for a minute who your fave is. ;)
DeleteI love Rabid, too! How can he be so adorable and ugly at the same time?
And yes...three queens. You are wise, Natalia. Picking up on those hints. ;) Good luck in the giveaway!
I am absolutely in love with Morpheus. I can't wait for Ensnared.
ReplyDeleteI love Alice in Wonderland, and love the way these stories carry on.
I love the trailer and am curious for the choices Alyssa will make in the third book.
Trailer was awesome! I'm usually not a huge trailer fan but loved this one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brooke! The song made the trailer, IMO. ;) Just perfect for this book with all those "battle" drumbeats in the background. Good luck!
DeleteI can't wait to see how the story is gonna end I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteAlice In wonderland Is my favorite classic story I been into since I was little.
And the trailer is Incredibly Dark and Mysterious I love stuff like that! :)
Oh my god I've been waiting for this book for ages.. Morpheus is by far my favorite character
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhh I'm so excited! I've been waiting for this for so long, can't wait to find out how it ends! #TEAMMORPHEUS
ReplyDeleteMy old comment I can't find so here is round 2. The trailer was amazing but now I am sad that I watched it because it means EVEN MORE suspense before 2015. Ms. A.G. Howard you can't just have your fans die of suspense before they actually read the book. It doesn't work like that. But because of that wonderfully made trailer that is what's going to happen. Wonderfiilled. Anyway, on to new happier topics:
ReplyDeleteAs for my favorite character that award goes to (like probably every other person out there) Morpheus. It is his air of mystery and concern for Alyssa and all of Wonderland, that gives him the prize. I think my favorite side of Morpheus was when he and Alyssa were kids (Morpheus as a kid is a relative term) because he had no romantic interest and then they were just friends exploring the possibilities of Wonderland. Not sure where I am on romantic sides in the book. Not my cup of tea really. Just dying of suspense over here for the final book. WHERE ART THOU 2015?
Also, I couldn't help but wondering what is your soundtrack to this book? Most authors have one I assume and I myself as a reader have my own soundtrack to this book (cause that is what I was listening to as I read it). Mine was the Babel album (deluxe edition) by Mumford and Sons but I must know what your soundtrack to Wonderland is!?!
ReplyDeleteHi! Going to answer both your comments here. ;) First, no dying please! 2015 is SO close now. You can make it! ;) And yes, Morph does seem to be at the top of most lists for fave character; even if some don't like him for Alyssa, they like his ambiguous character. He keeps the books interesting, for sure. :) And I love the childhood scenes w/him and Alyssa, too.
DeleteAnd I do have playlists for all my books. You can them here: http://anita-authoraghoward.blogspot.com/p/book-playlists_8.html
I haven't released the Ensnared playlist yet. I'll do that after the book is out. :) Although I do plan to reveal a few of the songs during the Ensnared blog tour in Dec.
Thanks for the comments, and good luck in the giveaway!
holy amazingness, batman! you did such a beautiful job with trailer! *high fives you*
ReplyDeleteAwww, haha. Thanks twinkie! *fingers crossed* that rafflecopter is kind to you and gives you some goodies. :)
DeleteAnd for these kind of things is why I'm inexorably convinced about something: Anita is not just an author. She really enjoys what she does, just like rest of us, fangirls. A fangirl of your own work, that's nice. =')
ReplyDeletexoxo
LOL. Thanks so much for the awesome comment. I'm definitely a fangirl of giving giveaways. They're so fun! Good luck to you! :D
DeleteMy favorite Alice character from Carroll's books was always a difficult choice between the Cheshire Cat and Humpty Dumpty (I love the wordplay of Alice's portmanteau discussion with Humpty). In the Disney cartoon, which is also very near and dear to my heart, it's between the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter, partially because of the voice talents of Sterling Holloway and Ed Wyn. However, I suppose my REAL favorite character, the one I always identify with and wish I could meet, is actually Alice herself :). In the Splintered series, I do think I'll have the join the Morpheus club, because he's definitely stolen my heart. For the record, though, I'm still Team Jebpheus (is that how to spell it?) as far as Alyssa's concerned! I still don't know who would be better for her, and I kind of want her to have them both!
ReplyDeleteMorpheus is better for Alyssa, trust me :) LOL
DeleteIf you want her to have both, there is a solution: she can marry Morpheus and they will have their kid, and Jeb will be the "weird Uncle Jeb" and come visit them every summer, after he gets over Alyssa and finds a new girlfriend. That way Jeb will still be able to remain in her life, in a non-romantic way.
Victoria, like you, there are lots of Jebpheus fans out there. It's because the boys are both good for her in different ways. Which makes sense, since there are two sides to her. :)
DeleteI always really liked Alice, too! The combination of curiosity and proper manners is contagious and endearing.
Good luck in the giveaway!
Hey! I love trailer! And completely love Morpheus.
ReplyDeleteI hope for a happy ending: D
Kisses :D
I love the darker twist you put on the retelling of Alice in Wonderland. My favorite character would have to be Morpheus.
ReplyDeleteThe trailer is amazing! I can't wait for Ensnared to come out so I can binge-read the series :)
ReplyDeleteThe trailer was amazing! And, of course, I can't lie--Morpheus is my favourite character. I'm eager to find out who Alyssa ends up with!
ReplyDeleteI've been DYING for this book! That cover just has to be the beginning of the awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteAnd as always: #TEAMMORPHEUS !! Sorry Jeb, but Morpheus just understands her... madness better. And to be honest, In would make myself mad if it let me had the chance to be with him. Mmmhm.
Loved the trailer, the pictures were perfect. I can't wait to Ensnared comes out, definitely a must read for me.
ReplyDeleteEek! After that trailer I'll be going through torture for the next few months waiting for it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great trailer.
ReplyDeleteCrap I almost forgot what the question was having to scroll through all of these comments ;)
ReplyDeleteBut my answer is Jeb!!!!! Always Jeb. And from Alice in Wonderland it's a toss up between the Cheshire Cat and the Caterpillar.
Hugs and thanks for the giveaway!
-Jaime
I CAN'T WAIT
ReplyDeleteThe book trailer is awesome, your series is amazing and my fave char... The Mad Hatter... or the Cheshire Cat xD
ReplyDeleteThe original Alice in Wonderland movie freaked me out a ton as a kid, so I've kinda blocked it from my memory. I love your versions of Chessie and the Mad Hatter though!
ReplyDeleteI am a complete #TeamMorpheus player here! I cannot wait for this book for the ending! I am also basing my costume for Halloween is based off the cover of Unhinged.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the trailer, and it got me even more prepared for the finale!! GOSH, I'm DYING for Ensnared even more now!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this awesome giveaway. I'll be counting down the days until it's FINALLY HERE!!! :)

So exciting! Can't wait for this beauty to come out! Favorite AiW character: Cheshire Cat, of course.
ReplyDeleteDying to win the ARC *cries* It's so pretty even if I'm team Morpheus
ReplyDeleteWoah, that trailer was awesome! I really can't wait to see what happens next. As for my favorite character, that would be Morpheus n.n
ReplyDeleteThe trailer was really awesome & fitting! I really enjoyed. ^^
ReplyDeleteMorpheus! I still have hope for him . . . even if it's just the slightest. Alyssa's mom was a good character in the last book, too. The constant dark twists in the books are really fun to read!
Also, Little Shop of Stories in Decatur doesn't have a page up for Ensnared, but I'll contact to request!!
DeleteLoved the trailer! Can't wait to read this book!!! It's my most anticiped book for 2015. And my favorite character is Morpheus of course, I love him!!! Always make me smile ♥ #TeamMorpheus
ReplyDeleteI really like Alice's original story. The Cheshire cat, the Mad Hatter (especially in the new version of Disney), Alice... and love the new versions. The Splintered Series is so perfect, my favorite, LOVE it! Can't wait to read the ending
I cannot wait to read this story. I have been a huge fan of the Alice and Wonderland story since I was small and adaptations of older works has always been an absolute pleasure of mine.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite character from your story is Morpheus, I love how he interacts with Alyssa, his dress and of course the reference to the God of Dreams.
But in the original story I'd have to say it's a tie between Cheshire and Hatter... which I think Morpheus emulates both very nicely.
So excited for ensnared and to see more of my beautiful mothman!!
ReplyDeleteI loved the trailer but I truly want to see the REAL Morpheus! :) Can. Not. Wait. for this book, Miss Anita!
ReplyDeleteCant wait for this book so excited...... team Morpheus!!!
ReplyDeleteI loved the trailer *^_^*! The '3 queens....Wonderland hanging in the balance' part was my favorite. The SUSPENSE O_O!
ReplyDeleteAlso...my favorite character is Morpheus :3. He's so cute!
I was 100% sure that I added Ensnared to my tbr shelf ages ago...but when I checked, I discovered I hadn't added it yet O_o. Remedied immediately lol
