The Glass Demon

By Helen Grant
The Glass Demon by Helen Grant digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Sometimes the path to the truth is paved with broken glass. 
 
Teenager Lin Fox is a stranger in a strange land—Germany, where her father has come on a quixotic quest to locate a priceless artifact. The medieval (and possibly mythical) Allerheiligen stained glass is believed by some to be lost, by others to have been destroyed, and by virtually all to be haunted. A mysterious letter persuades Dr. Oliver Fox that he can be the one to find it—but someone else is determined to ensure that the glass stays hidden forever.

First, an elderly stranger is found dead in an orchard, then one of Oliver’s contacts is mysteriously drowned—both bodies inexplicably surrounded by shards of colored glass. As dark superstitions simmer, Lin embarks on her own search to find the glass. As her life comes to resemble the grimmest of fairy tales, she realizes that what she must find is not only the truth about the legendary glass but a way to save the lives of those she loves.

“Okay so first of all, I was shocked by the reveal of the killer, I didn't see it coming. But second, I didn't love this book so much, if not counting the last 100 pages. Third, even when I was shocked by the reveal, I was a bit disappointed in it. I liked the characters and I guess the plot too but it wasn't amazing. The first 200 pages were quite boring even when there was a few deaths. The deaths didn't give me that creepy feeling that I love in thrillers. And I didn't really connect with the characters either. That said, I enjoyed this. I was very intrigued to find out more. But just the overall book isn't that memorable, which is sad since I had really high hopes for this one. Anyway, I still enjoyed my time reading this and I'm glad I did.”
