Jacque's Review:
Ensnared is the third and final book in the Splintered series and picks up a month or so after Unhinged ended. Alyssa needs to figure out a way to save Wonderland from the destruction Queen Red cast upon it. Without the help of Jeb, Morpheus or her Mother she must enter the looking-glass-world to rescue the people she loves most. If she can complete this first mission, she plans on defeating Queen Red once and for all and taking her rightful place on the throne.
The love triangle between Jeb, Alyssa, and Morpheus plays an even larger part in this book . Love triangles aren't usually ideal, but it was an essential part of this story. The two guys bring out the best in Alyssa in both her human and netherling worlds. I have been on Team Morpheus since reading Unhinged, but I gained a greater appreciation for Jeb the longer he and Morpheus worked together. I don't want to give away how this situation plays out, so I will simply say it wasn't at all what I was expecting.
I was very satisfied with the conclusion of this series. The magical elements and mutant creatures contained in AnyElsewhere provide the perfect backdrop for this twisted tale. There is plenty of danger and action mixed with the two love stories to keep the pages turning. All of the characters have grown by leaps and bounds since the beginning of this series. It was great to see them working together to reach a common goal. I would have preferred a bit more detail in the Epilogue, which I was pleased to discover is likely provided in Untamed, the collection of short stories released after Ensnared. I have already added it to my TBR list and hope to get to it soon.
