The Glass Wall #3
The Inner Circle
As the predictions from the Fae's Hall of Mirrors come true, Sydney seizes control of her destiny and makes a choice between Rafael and Jareth. A choice of true love.
And as she evades Mesmers, Tulpas, and the Fae's Inner Circle, she discovers the power of human thought.
But then one of the three makes their Blue-Threaded decision, the decision of fate.
Is it the right one?
The Glass Wall Series:
What if humans were more powerful than they thought? What if an alien race had a reason to keep humanity entrenched in fear? And what if ancient beings that we've met before were still trying to protect us?
And just what if the fate of Earth depended upon an average 17-year-old girl with a few secrets of her own?
Would she discover that the power of love was truly the strongest of all?
Prequel - the short story "Behind the Mirror"
Rafael Channing is a Fate Tracker, protecting his world and Earth from disaster, but what should he do when disaster appears in the form of love?
Book One - The Glass Wall
17-year-old Sydney's only interest in life is flying under the radar.
But destiny has other plans when the tall, handsome, formal, and unusual Rafael Channing moves into the neighborhood. Athletic and with killer looks, he wears black eyeliner like a magician and seems to be watching Sydney's every move.
What starts out as a light-hearted investigation with her gadget-happy foster father takes a serious turn when she discovers that Rafael isn't human. Add Jareth, the country's latest rock sensation, into the mix and Sydney is swept into a mysterious world of Tulpas, the Fae, and the Brotherhood of the Snake.
Sydney doesn't know she's a Blue Thread of Fate. She doesn't know the fate of humanity depends on her choice of whom to trust--Jareth or Rafael. And she certainly doesn't know that she's taken the first step on the unexpected path of love.
Book Two - The Brotherhood of the Snake
The excitement and mystery continues as the romance begins. After breaking the Glass Wall, Sydney finds herself on the run with Rafael. And as her feelings for him awaken, danger arrives in the form of Mesmers, agents of evil sent by the Brotherhood of the Snake.
But when Jareth struts back onto the scene, it isn't long before Sydney finds herself immersed in sinister secrets, and the subsequent whirlwind of events leaves her wondering just who is right and who is wrong?
Join Sydney as she journeys through romance, humor, and adventure into the mysterious world of Tulpas, the Fae, and the Brotherhood of the Snake.

This is the only young adult series I have fallen into head over heels. I buy them for my daughter and skim the pages before I release them to her.
The whole Inner Circle series is addictive. The characters are ones that I would not mind having in my life. So many YA characters are simply annoying.
Carmen Caine has put some genuine emotion and thought into her characters and they shine for it.

Slow moving!!!
Book moved a little slow. It appears to be a set up for the next book. It's a good thing I'm have time to read it, but teens may have a hard time keeping interested.

I have thoroughly enjoyed "The Glass Wall" series by Carmen Caine. I have read them all. Carmen Caine always does a wonderful job of writing her characters & enveloping her readers into the world of the Fae & all that entails. I love how her stories flow & are so well written!
I had been waiting for months to read "The Inner Circle" & I was not disappointed! WOW! I feel like I got to watch the characters grow & develop into more than they were at the beginning. There are so many things that I would love to point out & talk about because I'm so excited - but I hate when others allude to things that cause you to come to conclusions because it spoils it.
I will say that the end left me with that "WHAT?!?! NOW?!?!" feeling. *lol* I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book! I LOVE my "time with" Sydney, Rafael & Jareth.
There are books you read & enjoy. Then there are books that you almost feel like you're experiencing & that shows the talent of the author, in my opinion.

This is book 3 in the collection.
It took almost the entire first book to really get to moving and being interesting enough to keep reading.
One thing I would suggest to the author, is placing the prequel first as it answers some of the questions we do not have answered in the first book.
Once The Glass Wall got to moving, it kept a rapid pace going. I had trouble putting it down, it became so interesting. I definitely recommend this, and it can be easily read by those who are not young adults. I am almost 50, and truly enjoyed this collection. Buy this, you will not be sorry.

Throughout the third book, Sydney is constantly fighting the love that she feels for Raphael because she still doesn't know if she can truly trust him. With mesmers, evil tulpas, and the inner circle causing trouble around every corner she has to put her trust in Jareth to protect her. Jareth has his own problems to deal with and he must face who he really is.
Decisions are made and blue threads are leading to destruction. Will love win out or will fate run it's course?

Oh my gosh! I really like this series but the cliff hangers are killing me! I was left confused with this ending wondering how it could be and now I need to read back through them all to see if all the mystery makes more sense, as it often does when I read from the beginning again. What will Sydney do next and what about Rafael? I can't wait for the next book! Love this series!

Good series so far
I have really been enjoying this Series. I love the characters and this is definitely a story that I've never read before. I can't wait to find out what happens in book 4.

I was annoyed for most of this book. There was very little plot. Hopefully the final book has more action and less romance.
