"Strong ... sensual ... surprisingly tender ... Mina displays a resonance unlike its source material, humanizing people Stoker merely used as pawns."
"Suspenseful and electric, Mina is an utterly consuming tale of
dangerous passion and longing. The story stayed with me long after I
had finished reading it."




-- Lauren Fox, author of Still Life, With Husband
"This is an engrossing novel that brings old vampire mythology together with near-modern day political realities, exploring the connections and roots of the Austra family while taking them closer to our era."


--William Gagliani, Chi Reviews/www.chizene.com
"If you're a timid reader, then don't read this novel. If you're a rather puritanical reader, then don't read this novel. If, however, you're a huge vampire fan in search of details that humanize and mythologize vampires, then this is definitely a book for you! Shattered Glass may not wholly embrace all the characteristics of the traditional vampires, but it definitely establishes a new breed of vampire worth reading about!"
And, I'd like to add, a first novel is not alwaysan author's favorite, but this one is definitely mine. And a must-read for anyone following the Austra series. - Elaine
