“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 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.

“Exciting and well-conceived” – Kirkus

With no other choice, Bry plans to leave school to explore the pyramids on her own. But her new man Knox discovers the scheme and is having none of it. He wants to stay by her side, no matter what. 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.

“Must-read YA paranormal romance!” – USA Today

Perfect for readers who love young adult books, contemporary fantasy, fairy tales, satire/comedy, paranormal romance, fairies, magic users, shapeshifters, and coming of age stories.



My Review:


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.
