This book surprised the heck out of me after reading a long string of truly dire free books. I'm pretty sure it is self-published as it has a lot of the common problems that would be solved by a competent editor... but despite those things, I really enjoyed reading it. And at the end of the day, my enjoyment is how I value a book. I liked the main character - she seemed real enough and reacted to what was going on around her with spunk and motivation. I loved that she had a non-traditional family situation - she was bouncing from foster home to foster home with a mother in and out of rehab and had all the associated confusion. This was handled well - this wasn't just a bolt-on flaw, it was real and Sydney had some issues as a result. The foster family in the story could have gone so far wrong - they were all very quirky and could have seemed so fake, but I ended up really liking them. I was interested in what happened to all of the characters in this book, and they all seemed real and differentiated. The plot can be a bit confusing and the full reveal doesn't happen - there is a definite cliffhanger - but by the end I didn't mind because I was invested and willing to seek out the next book. I have already bought the prequel short novella and am waiting for the next, which I will purchase.

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 speaks like a hero from a seventeenth-century novel. 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. This version also includes the short story "Behind the Mirror": Rafael is a Fate Tracker, protecting his world and Earth from disaster, only what should he do when disaster appears in the form of love? Serious, yet with more than a dash of humor and romance, the Glass Wall is the first book in a new urban fantasy series "The Return of the Ancients" with the remaining books to follow: "The Brotherhood of the Snake", "The Inner Circle", and "The Egg".

While I recommend the rest of the collection highly, this book just did nothing for me. I came close to making it a DNF, but am glad I persisted in reading. The Glass Wall collection by Carmen Caine is worth it. Wish this one had been as good. ( )
