As it turns out, All Just Glass is the sequel to Amelia's much-earlier novel Shattered Mirror, part of the Den of Shadows series.

Sarah Vida has done the unthinkable. She has become a vampire, one of the creatures she once hunted. Now her family has called upon fellow witches to help them kill Sarah, putting Adia Vida in charge of the hunt. Sarah remains in a state of confusion over her new state as a vampire, as Adia struggles with the task of killing her younger sister.

The first time I read this, I got halfway through, and then shut the book and promised myself never to read the rest of it. It was just depressing. The entire atmosphere of it. Addia arranging to kill her sister, Dominique not giving a crap about her family...
Of course, I'm stubborn. So I decided I would read it. I know I broke my promise to myself, but in the past I've like the Den of Shadows books, so I figured maybe not all of it was bad.

All Just Glass is the sequel to Shattered Mirror, the story of a vampire hunter and the vampire she falls for, and it picks up right where Shattered Mirror left off. The entire story takes place over 24 hours and is told from the perspective of several of characters, from the vampires to the vampire hunters tracking them down. While I don’t usually like when an author attempts to balance so many characters at once, in this case it added to the suspense while providing the reader with a deeper in

There's so much a I hated about this book. I can understand the author wanting to continue writing in this particular world, but I think she needs to take a step back and write something completely disconnected for a while. The whole vampire/shapeshifter world has become so bloated and entangled that even I am beginning to be frustrated by it's in jokes/references.
I never felt there was a need to continue Sarah Vida's story and I'm very disappointed that this is apparently where th More...

My Review:
Some years ago, I read the first two books that Amelia Atwater-Rhodes wrote in her DEN OF SHADOWS series. I enjoyed them immensely. She knows how to weave words and create worlds that seem as if, like Narnia, they can be discovered around the corner, or down a dark alley, or indeed, in the back of a wardrobe. ALL JUST GLASS seemed as if it was sure to be a good addition to the previous work that I had read from Atwater-Rhodes.
I'm sure that I have mentioned this before in More...

I didn’t like this book. Plain and simple. I normally enjoyed Amelia’s previous works, but this novel was a huge step down to other books she’s written.
First off, she assaulted us with tons of names that a new reader isn’t likely to remember. It’s been a while since I’ve read her Den of Shadows series; I’m not likely to remember five different families and the sub-divisions of those families. She also threw terms at us that a new re More...

The reason I gave this book threestars is because it is clear that this author is developing, and developing well. This book is noticeably better written and better executed than any other book I've read by this author. And understandably so, because she started writing books when she was in high school, and it was obvious. This book was more mature and simply handled better. It kept me turning page after page, striking me with an intensity that I hadn't felt from a book in a long time. The endi

Did I really just read this book in one day?
This book was quite interesting. I enjoyed seeing behind the lines of the supposedly perfect vampire hunters, although I find it a little hard to grasp that it all happened within a 24-hour period. I did tire of the author's long-winded way of moving the story along; I'd forgotten about her writing style in the nearly ten years since I've read her original books (I was in 8th grade when I picked up her first one).

As one of the pioneers of paranormal ya fantasy, Atwater-Rhodes has been at it awhile, and this latest additon does not disappoint, although it does sometimes get bogged down with the back stories of the characters. What I particularly liked about this one though, was the conflict between the families we grow up with, and the families we choose. Just when it seems like Sarah & Aida can't possibly co-exist, Aida finds a way. Although it's a totally different genre, the solution reminded me of

Always fun to read another of Amelia's books. I've been reading them for years. I'm not sure how I missed this one coming out but I'm sure glad I read it now.
The ONLY thing that slightly bothered me was that although the writing is always well done and exciting, it really hasn't evolved much since her first books. I think the only reason I really noticed is that i'm obviously a lot older than when I first got into her books and have been reading at a more mature level.

I think "Glass" is one of the better Nyeusigrube novels. It's gritty, spell-binding, emotionally engaging, and I could hardly put it down! The honest exploration of the different characters' motives and drives had a maturity and depth that was beautifully executed. I was also rather pleased to watch the "legendary Vida perfectionism" crack into tiny bits -- I'll admit the Vidas were my least favorite of the witches because they always seemed cold and android-like.

I am very glad that Amelia Atwater-Rhodes decided to return to the Den of Shadows series. I loved Shattered Glass and was excited to read what happened afterward. This novel tells the story of what happened after Sarah Vida, a witch and vampire hunter, was turned into a vampire. Her family declares the Rights of Kin which declares war between all hunters and vampires and no place is safe. You're left wondering if Sarah's sister, Adianna, will actually kill her.

I have read a good majority of Amelia’s work, including the prequel to this novel, Shattered Mirror. When I found out that All Just Glass was to be the companion novel to it, I was very excited to read it, as I enjoyed reading her other books and was eager to see where the story with Sarah went. But, I was disappointed.
All Just Glass was, in my opinion, very poorly thought out. The entire novel is told in only 24 hours, with a time stamp at the beginning of each chapter to let you know More...

I've been waiting and waiting to see what happened next after Sarah was turned into a vampire in SHATTERED MIRROR. There were too many loose ends that Miss Amelia didn't tie up. Now, I am satisfied. This is an ending. I was very happy with the emotional play that was presented from several view points. My favorite was in Adia's.

I think this book might have been better if it had not been years since I read Shattered Mirror. I have forgotten so many details that make my reaction this book a "uh? What?" Amy spends little to no time introducing her characters, as she obviously is sure that her readers still remember Nikolas, Kristopher, Sarah, etc. I did but...the action details from SM are a different story...

I know that a lot of people have said that this one was confusing but I’m my opinion it was okay in wasn’t what I expected it to be. I wanted more action and it just wasn’t that actiony. However something that i really enjoyed was the ending. I loved that twist that the author put in. I also loved the observations that Sarah made about Kristopher and Nikolas. But my favorite character had to be Kendra, even though she was only in a couple of scenes in the book it just worked and she was just som

It was good but I liked Kristopher less in this book and thing that Sarah would be better off with Nikolos because in the end he was the one that was really there for her or really there at all. I hope there is a third book to this little series of books regarding these characters where the relationships between the characters are put into more detail, but regardless of any issues I have with it(very few) the book is wonderful and I love the authors writing style.

I loved this book! When I first saw it I was just excited to see that it was something new from my favorite author. But as I read the first page, I realized that this book actually continues the story of Sarah Vida from Shattered Mirror. Nikolas and Kristopher also return, along with Sarah's sister Adia.

This was an interesting twist with witches hunting vampires.
It seemed a little short page wise (246)which could have been used to give a little more back story for those of us who missed the prequel Shattered Mirror and found it confusing.
I liked it as it was breezy and yet got darker as secrets were revealed.
For a larger universe consider the witch Rachel Morgan of the Hollows series by Kim Harrison.

It's sad to say because I read Atwater's books since I was 13, the same age she started publishing books. I loved her vampire world growing up. Shattered Mirror, Demon in my View, In the Forest of the Night were great books to read and she's a talented writer. This sequel from Shattered Mirror, didn't do it for me. At 25 now, I think I'm officially done reading her books, and I will say goodbye to her "vampire" world that I have grown up with. Her last 2 books, Persistence of Memory a

This book was a great sequel to Shattered Mirror. Ever wonder what happened after Kristopher and Nikolas turned teenage witch Sarah into a Vampire? Did she go the path of the Hunter and fall on the knife when she awoke? Or did she decided Vampirism was the life for her?
All is revealed in this sequel! I loved every moment of it.

All Just Glass was a flawed novel, with many inconsistencies and holes in the story. We've had it sitting in the staff room, waiting to be placed on the floor for 3 days and during my breaks i'd read bit by bit.
This doesn't deserve a long review because there isn't much to talk about besides the fact that i didn't enjoy it at all.
