“A fun romp for Twilight Fans” – School Library Journal After being raised by the meanest fairies in the history of ever, Bryar Rose is now free to live her own life. For the first time, she’s attending West Lake Prep, a regular high school. Well, mostly regular. Some students are actually hidden members of the Magicorum. In other words, they’re really wizards, fairies, or shifters. Bry doesn’t … or shifters. Bry doesn’t mind, though. She’s thrilled to enjoy all the new experiences of being around normal kids her age, from locker pranks to lunchtime mystery meat. Everything is going along great, except for one thing.
Bry’s dreams about the pyramids of Egypt have gotten darker and more sinister. Every night, she sees her new man Knox and her best friend Elle in danger.

It’s a good thing too, because Bry must solve the mystery of her attraction to the pyramids and soon. Otherwise, it could cost the lives of those she loves most.
And that means not only Knox, but also her best friend Elle.

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
Another great installment to this great paranormal series. Bry is still trying to figure out her powers after book one but the one thing she knows is that Knox is her mate. They still have to find the fountain while started at the new school she had been dying to go to. Her human life is almost within reach when life throws her a massive curveball that comes with lots of surprises as well as danger. Can they figure it all out before the bad guys? Great writing that will really pull you into the story. Perfect for fans of the genre. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
I have never read anything by Christina Bauer before and I am ashamed that I didn’t know what I was missing. I read this straight through and couldn’t put it down. She grabs you, pulls you into a her world, and makes you cherish her characters. You feel their confusion, sadness, hopes, fears, and determination. You find yourself cheering, biting your lip, tensing in anticipation of what comes next. Her story breathes a life of its own and you can easily picture it being the next hit series on TV. I want to go back to the beginning while I wait to find out what happens next.
Thank you so much to Christina Bauer, NetGalley, and Monster House Books, LLC, for allowing me the chance to read this story and share my thoughts and opinions with others.
Bryar Rose is attending high school for the first time and she is excited about her first day. She is excited to be going to school with her best friend Elle and her new boyfriend Knox. Bryar runs into a little trouble on her first day and is sent to the principle office to find out what is going on.
Bryar is having nightmares, every night she dreams about her boyfriend Knox and her best friend Elle being in danger. Bryar knows that she must find the fountain and fix it to keep Knox and Elle alive. Bryar will do anything to save her best friend and boyfriend even if it could cost her, her life.
I love the world of Shifters and Glyphs it is so intense and keeps you hanging on with all the magic sparking in the atmosphere. I just love how Bryar Rose and her wolf interact with each other. Wolf sure does love her mate and wants to be with him all the time. Wolf likes that Knox owns castles because that means lots of dens for cubs. Wolf and Bryar had me laughing real hard at times and at other times I could feel the love. It was so sweet. The love they have for their mate and their friends and how far they would go for them.
I would love to see Shifters and Glyphs on the big screen with all the magic and the lights. The way Christina describes the magic floating around the room was so awesome. I kept trying to picture it with all the different colors but I know I couldn’t do it justice. So with saying this to me it would be so grand to see that magic and the way Christina describes it.
I would recommend Shifters and Glyphs to all fans of the paranormal with witches, shifters, fairies and a whole lot of magic.
I read this story in the set and really enjoyed it. Bry is struggling with the stress of trying to start a regular school and some horrible nightmares she can’t remember. Magic isn’t done with her yet and she has to choose between protecting her friends or protecting the world. I love the colorful characters and twists in fairy tale templates. There’s some twists I didn’t see coming and the series stays older YA all the way through.
Shifters and Glyphs was pretty good. Several plot lines that I’d been suspecting for the past two books turned out to be true, and there were a few twists along the way as well.
I’m still not certain how Reggie fits in to the series. I’d like to know more of his story. I’d also like to know more of Ty’s story, so I’m hoping she gets her own set of books later, or at least a novella.
I feel, once again, as though we’re missing parts of the story. We don’t get to see Bry’s friends’ reactions to finding out she’s a Trilorum. I would think that’s a major revelation, seeing as they’re very rare. Nor do we get to find out what happens with Azizi. I know there will be more books, but since the next one switches to an Elle focus, I’d have thought we’d get more info on Az in this one.
Overall, I was pleased with the book, although I’m left with more questions than answers. I can only hope that we’ll get answers in the next book of the series.
