An original ebook-only novella in the Splintered series, told from the points of view of both Jeb and Morpheus. Morpheus wants to know more about his rival for Alyssa's affections, so he digs into Jeb's memories of his time in Wonderland. But he may be surprised by what he finds. This brand-new story and perspective from A.G. Howard's dark, magical world stands alone but also provides a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come in Unhinged, the sequel to Splintered.

I really enjoyed this tale, set just after the events of Splintered and pathing the way for the second book, Unhinged. Jeb and Morpheus are among my favourite characters in Splintered, both very different and both in love with Alyssa who is drawn to them both. I liked the way The Moth in the Mirror plays off their rivalry and shared affection for the woman they both love. Will they be able to find common ground? I look forward to reading Unhinged next.
