Synopsis:
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
What’s behind that fated call?
He’s the seer of present, future, and past,
Yet remains a nameless face entombed in glass.
Raised as a servant in the underwater kingdom of Atlantica, Alastor worked his way up to a regal member of the Royal Guard. Only as a decorated soldier did he stand a chance of winning the hand of the woman he’s loved since childhood … Poseidon’s only daughter, Princess Vanessa. But, when the war against humans rages, dark magics are evoked to give the mermen a fighting chance. Temporarily granted legs, they charge from the sea into a doomed battle.
Doing the bidding of his masters as a trusted pawn,
The claims of his loyalty couldn’t be more wrong.
Waking on land, with bodies all around, Alastor’s lone goal becomes returning to the ocean and the only life he’s ever known. A plan that is quickly diverted when Hades, Lord of the Underworld, appears with a twisted agenda all his own. Cast to a land far from the lapping comforts of home, Alastor’s sole companion is a troubled misfit named Sterling that soon comes to depend on him. Trained to be a hero, how far is Alastor willing to go to return to the woman he loves? And can he live with the sacrifices he's forced to make?
Each day he schemes to break free from their thrall,
and honor a self-made vow … to kill them all.

*My Thoughts*
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
What the heck, Stacey!?! Every time I read your books, especially the ones that take a twist on fairy tales, I am just mind blown with all the intricacies and twisty storylines. This is yet another story that gets readers involved and engrossed with her characters.
Entombed in Glass is the second title in the Unfortunate Soul Chronicles which takes readers on epic adventure filled with dark twists and turns. The characters are complicated, yet familiar. Yes, familiar.... Stacey takes all these fairytale characters that we grew up with and intertwined them in these amazing, yet twisty, stories. Anyways, just like the first book, Rise of the Sea Witch, Stacey writes a dark and macabre tale that put me at the "edge of my seat" and fully engrossed with these characters. I can see so much potential for various "spin-off" stories with the various characters introduced in this book.
The world building is amazing and imaginative. Stacey's knack to intertwine various elements into her worlds makes her stories and characters that much more thrilling and fantastical. I mean... WOW!!! Talk about a complicated fantasy.
In this second installment in the Unfortunate Soul Chronicles, this is Alastor's journey, and it is not an easy one at that. From the sea to land, Alastor's plight takes him on a dangerous and dark adventure introducing him to various characters and places. With a bit of humor played into the story, it is a bit of a relief from the dark and twisty theme of this story. Yup!! All the feels just leaps from the pages. From beginning to end, this is one story that mesmerized me, just like the first book! I am so looking forward for the next installment in the Unfortunate Soul Chronicles!
