The Egg

The Glass Wall #4

by Carmen Caine, Madison Adler

"The Egg" - Book Four of the "Glass Wall":

- A death ...
- A beginning ...
- An egg to change the world ...

Faced with her Blue Thread of Fate, Sydney must make a choice if Rafael and Jareth are to survive. But what if it is an inner demon she's not expecting? Can she truly understand the many shades of love?


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?


"The Glass Wall" - Book One of the "Glass Wall":

- A mysterious and dangerously handsome stranger ...
- A slightly jaded 17-year-old girl ...
- A paranormal world hidden within our own ...

17-year-old Sydney's only interest in life is flying under the radar.

But destiny has other plans when the tall, handsome, and unusual Rafael Channing moves into the neighborhood. Athletic and with killer looks, he wears black eyeliner like a magician and always seems to be there when she needs him the most.

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.


"The Brotherhood of the Snake" - Book Two of the "Glass Wall":

- The first kiss ...
- A secret revealed ...
- The arrival of the Mesmers ...

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?


"The Inner Circle" - Book Three of the "Glass Wall":

- A love is born that cannot be denied ...
- The Brotherhood of the Snake just might be winning ...
- A Decision of Fate is made ...

As Sydney navigates through the supernatural dangers surrounding her, she seizes control of her destiny and begins to fight back. And as she spies on the Inner Circle and the Brotherhood of the Snake, she discovers the power of human thought.

And finds out she can no longer deny the love that she feels.

But then both Rafael and Jareth's secrets are revealed and a Blue-Threaded decision of fate is made.

This book 4 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.

I received an ARC to give an honest review.

I enjoyed this series overall. I am not usually one to be interested in books about Fae but, I was pleasantly surprised. They are quick reads and the pace is good. Some things could have had a little more time spent on them but, there were never any major lags or long played out scenes.
The ending was definitely a little sappy but, I am not mad at it!

This was a wonderful conclusion to the series!

I am very impressed with this conclusion. I am happy to say that this is not one of those stories that lets you down in the very end. I absolutely loved book 4! Thank you to the author for following through with a wonderful conclusion to a very neat story with great characters!

Delightful easy read..

This book series really only has one problem.. The author should have continued the story and followed the "New" Queen... Lots of the story left to still tell.. ; )

[Carrie · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was really slow paced and a felt a bit preachy. It felt like more of a let down than the other books in the series. I think this might have been better as a trilogy with more action happening across the three books.

I really adored this whole series. I loved all of the characters dearly. It ended beautifully, and was a really enjoyable read. Definitely read this.
