"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Title: Unhinged
Author: A.G. Howard
Publication Date: January 7, 2014 by Amulet Books
Description: Alyssa Gardner has been
down the rabbit hole and faced the bandersnatch. She saved the life of
Jeb, the guy she loves, and escaped the machinations of the disturbingly
seductive Morpheus and the vindictive Queen Red. Now all she has to do
is graduate high school and make it through prom so she can attend the
prestigious art school in London she's always dreamed of.
That would be easier without her mother, freshly released from an asylum, acting overly protective and suspicious. And it would be much simpler if the mysterious Morpheus didn’t show up for school one day to tempt her with another dangerous quest in the dark, challenging Wonderland—where she (partly) belongs. As prom and graduation creep closer, Alyssa juggles Morpheus’s unsettling presence in her real world with trying to tell Jeb the truth about a past he’s forgotten. Glimpses of Wonderland start to bleed through her art and into her world in very disturbing ways, and Morpheus warns that Queen Red won’t be far behind. If Alyssa stays in the human realm, she could endanger Jeb, her parents, and everyone she loves. But if she steps through the rabbit hole again, she'll face a deadly battle that could cost more than just her head.

I so hope I am not setting myself up for colossal disappointment. I LOVED the first book in this series. I really hoped that there would be a second. But, sophomore books have so much riding on them. I hope this one can wow me again!
This. Book. I feel the same, I can't wait for it, but really anxious. Great pick. :)
