Story
Once again, the teens were not only faced with a ton of unanswered questions after what had happened down in that cell of death, but on top of all that, they had classes to pass! But this wasn’t the only thing that faced this misfit bunch of teenagers, because they had new powers to control and inner demons to face, a blood oath to figure out, a mechanical bad ass named Gruen out for blood...and oh yeah, a Hell’s Ring to fight. Which meant that their first year at the Afterlife school was going to be interesting all right. In fact, it might just end up being...Hell on Earth!

Story
Being faced with an uncertain future is nothing new for Ari, not when you lived each day under the control of a demonic cult. But now Ari lives with a new enemy and one she can no longer run from...her past. But soon she will discover that even her past can cling to their future and hold it captive in the form of a curse. So, with a murderer lurking in the shadows of their past and an Angel on the hunt, a killer is not the only thing out there for Vincent to find.

Story
It’s been seven years. Seven long years since that cold and cruel Vampire King, Lucius, broke her heart. Her naive little heart destroyed after one painful night when she sneaked in to his Gothic nightclub, Transfusion. Seven years since he humiliated her, casting her aside and telling her just what he thought about her little obsession with him. Then he saved her life. Well, now he is back, and this time he is out for blood, and all she can hope for is that it isn’t hers that’s on the menu.

Story
The day I snuck into the infamous Devil’s Ring Fight Club. I had followed my cousin Amelia, who turned out not to be quite as innocent as I first believed. In fact, it turned out she didn’t live in the same world as I did…Not at all. I knew this the moment I entered his kingdom. My world changed the moment he found me. He gave me a warning that night. He told me if he ever found me again then next time, he wouldn’t be so quick in letting me escape him. His little Red Riding Hood. It was a threat I took seriously as it was only my dreams that took me back to that place.

Afterlife, just a place for an unhappy king to call home or soon to become a beacon of hope when a new waitress falls at his feet? The Gothic nightclub is about to welcome a new guest, and this time it is one he can’t control. As for Dominic Draven, the king of all supernatural life, handling just one little mortal named Keira should be no problem for him…right? Wrong! As she is his chosen one, she is not meant to be ruled by a domineering, overbearing, arrogant boss who is determined to keep her at arm’s length.

Good story but.....
This is a good story as it gives you more information about some characters that have been touched on previously, however, the narrator was not suitable for this story. He obviously had no idea that some of the main characters were American and he read everyone in an English accent, apart from Pip, who previously had had an English accent. There didn't seem to be any emotion in his reading, Alexa reads this better. The story and plot were very good but the narration really let it down.

Fantastic read for all ages
Recommend that you read with book. The books been updated since it first came out and have brilliant sketches of some of the scenes throughout this book that I don't recall seeing when I first read it.
This would be great at getting a young teen who finds reading difficult e.g. Dyslexic or simply doesn't enjoy reading and getting them interested reading particularly in urban fantasy. With the Audiobook and kindle ebook with Whispersync it's easy for the reader to follow along if using a tablet or Kindle fire. You will need to ensure its set up correctly, you can also use a phone , I have an iPhone and set up using screen mirroring with my TV. Only downside in using immersion reading with Whispersync is it skips the fantastic sketches that help you imagine the scene being described, so if following along with ebook be forewarned.
I'd recommend before giving this to a child bellow 13 that you have a quick listen or read to see if you think they may find anything difficult or inappropriate. A mature 8 year old I think would be fine but always check if you're not sure
If you love the Afterlife saga you'll enjoy this and for those that like and dislike academy books I think you'll find this interesting as it's not your typical academy book.

Changed narrators now??😡
After 13 books with Rebecca Rainsford narrating the books and creating the characters, The Glass Dagger is done by someone different!😡. It completely made Draven sound like a total wimp. The story line was great, but the change in narrators made me sorry I bought the audiobook!

Wrong Narrator for previously recorded characters
Audible has NO RIGHT using a different narrator for characters Rebecca Rainsford has brought to life for the fans of Stephanie's work. If Rebecca was too busy to record her previous roles then the morons at Audible should have waited. There is no problem using a new narrator for new characters, but don't murder the characters we've grown to love based on scheduling conflicts. Dyer is a great narrator, so please don't confuse who my fury is directed at. Audible has proven before how money hungry they are. If the fans matter, this B.S. wouldn't happen.
