Through Glass, Episode Two
*This is Episode Two in the Through Glass Novella Series*
Everyone remembered the day the sky went black. The day the sun was wiped from the sky. They remember the wind as it brought in the darkness; the way the earth shook and everything changed.
Everyone remembered the screams as the darkness ate those who were out in the open, those who had surrounded themselves by light, and those who made noise.
Everyone remembered the voice from the sky and the way food disappeared.
At least, that's what I hoped. I hoped that there was an 'everyone' that would remember because I am not sure how many are left, how many survived. Or if anyone did.
I hoped that I wasn't alone.
I remembered that day.
I remembered because it was the day I became alone.
It was the day that everything was perfect until the monsters took it away. Then the house went silent and the birds stopped singing. It was the day when everyone disappeared, everyone except the boy, the only person I have seen in two years.
The boy I talk to through the glass.

PLEASE DO NOT READ MY REVIEW IF YOU HAVE YET TO READ EPISODE 1...IT MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THAT BOOK.
From the beginning I had two options, hide or run. I had hid because Cohen had asked me. Because he promised me I wasn’t alone. Now I was and, even through all of his promises, we weren’t together.
We never would be.
***
It has been 2 long, lonely years since the darkness came. Since the monsters came. Two long years since Alexis has felt Cohen’s touch. Lex’s days mainly consist of staying inside, staying quiet, and sleeping. During her waking hours she has learned to communicate with Cohen through the glass. She dreams of one day being able to touch him again. But that is all she has...dreams. Two years of hell being a prisoner in her own home. She was all alone and the Ulamas are in control.
Another action packed book, if not more than the first. The pace is fast and your heart rate never slows down. I honestly don't know how the author wrote this story without a few heart palpitations. I know I had to have experienced them. It was that intense. And it stays that way through the whole book.
My heart broke halfway through and I may never recover. In my review of episode one I mentioned that I fell for these characters instantly. Well, those feelings never ceased, they only got stronger as I started into this one. But something so horrific happens and it left me gasping. Literally.
Now I am off to read episode 3. With a new turn of events at the end of this one, how could I stop now? I can't! Read! Read! Read this series!

I read this series when it was all in one book (no longer in print) so my review covers the first three novellas
Lex is your typical 17 year old girl worrying about her grades and graduation already knowing where she is going for college. Then there is Cohen, her best friend...neighbor and the love her life the thing is that Cohen doesn't know this. The day that Lex finds out the Cohen feels the same, her world is turned upside down...Total darkness, creatures falling from they sky and she can't leave her house because if she does she will die. They are now in separate houses and can only see each other through their bedroom windows. Can Lex survive what is going on around her? Will she be with Cohen ever again? What are these creatures that come and why are they doing what they are?
OMG you have to read this book. I can't even begin to tell you what parts of this book I liked the most. Right from the beginning I was nose deep in the story and kept wanting to find out what will happen next, will they be together again? What are the Tar? I wanted to cry, scream, yell and yes even help kill. There was so many emotions that I went through and I definitely can't wait for book 2.

Words can't express how much I love this new instllment of Through Glass
I just love Lex and Cohen.
Alexis: She is the narrator of the story and is sixteen years old when the book starts. At first I didn’t like her because she only thought about how Cohen didn’t like her and how she decided to follow him to college but as the story progressed she grew on me because I felt her hopelessness when she thought there was nothing she could do about her situation but I loved how she regained her spirit and will to survive when she found a way to fight back.
Cohen: He is Alexi’s neighbor and crush who just returned home from the University of Cincinnati. What I liked about him was how he realized that he lived Alexis, it wasn’t insta-love, it actually took many years of friendship, leaving for college and seeing her again for him to realize his feelings for her, this felt very realistic to me. I liked him overall especially for the way he treated Alexis and supported her even when he couldn't speak or be with her

It's been two years. Two long years since the Ulma came and cast darkness over the world and left a handful of people trapped and alone. Those who fight back or break the rules are turned to ash. It seems that even carefully following the Ulma's rules are not enough to survive. One mistake, one tiny mistake, puts a target on Lex's back and also now involves Cohen. But it seems she has found a way to fight back and find their freedom and way back to each other. They just have to survive the dark and even worse, the Ulma.
I felt every heart pounding, tense moment of this installment to the series. The author definitely knows how to wrack up the tension and make you live it. You feel single moment in this book; every emotion is so tangible. You want these characters to succeed, because to succeed is for them to live and be together. Again, this is a must read series!

Pretty great so far. Read first 3 episodes within 24 hrs. Looking forward to the 4th coming in a few days. I have a feeling I will devour that immediately! Write quickly, Rebecca! Lol. Glad the next few episodes will be released in 2 week intervals. I've now read all of Rebecca Ethington's current books and am looking forward to more :)

In this book you see a much darker and sinister world than in book one. You see Alexis struggle to find food and water, and batteries. You also see a very dark and twisted side to people in this new society. People have changed and Alexis realizes that after she sees the warnings on the walls. This book was definitely worth it!

Such a great series of Novellas. I'm motoring through them so it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins but I can't wait to keep reading.
