YA
Three novellas fill in the gaps of Alyssa (Splintered; Unhinged; Ensnared) and her family's history: her mother Alison's story, her boyfriend Jeb's experience in Wonderland, and a succession of Alyssa's own memories of a life lived both above- and belowground (and with both her love interests). The overdramatic snapshots serve as no more and no less than wish fulfillment for series fans.
