Quinsey Wolfe's Glass Vault, by Candace Robinson Release Date 5/16!!

BUT WHAT DID I JUST READ 

Quinsey Wolfe's Glass Vault is a novel like no other. Sure it starts off like any normal wannabe YA novel, but then something spectacular happens and it becomes this weird amazing blend of several different genres. 

At its barest, Quinsey Wolfe's Glass Vault is about several teens who discover a random (almost ancient) building that has seemingly gone up over night. the main character, Perrie, goes to check it out with her best friend August and is sucked into an unbelievable world full of horrors she's never known. At its barest, Quinsey Wolfe's Glass Vault is a horror/retelling/YA/fantasy read. And it's great. 

The beginning is slow. But the writing style is so easy to read that it never becomes unbearably slow. 

And then BOOM. 

Shit. Just. Got. Real. 

And then the whole novel becomes a roller coaster from that moment onward. The stakes get bigger, the character relationships get even more intense...

...and the gore gets gorier. 

I loved how invested I felt in all of the character relationships. I don't know how Ms. Candace Robinson wrote her characters so perfectly (but not unflawed) that I felt like they were all real people. Perrie and her cousin Maisie felt so unbelievably real to me. I just loved how Perrie was just your normal high school student with real life problems: a bad breakup under her belt, "divorced" parents, and worry about what to do after school. And then Maisie was such a great character for teens to read and see. She was so headstrong, and such a supportive cousin and friend. But, she was also unique and didn't feel the need to be in a relationship or be someone who she wasn't. 

Overall, this was a really great book. I am beyond glad I picked it up. I really enjoyed the plot the most. And I think anyone interested in retellings will also enjoy this book. It has a lot of stories that aren't usually retold and therefore gives it a more unique aspect. 

And a little irritated I have to wait for the next book to come out....
