I truly feel there are no words to describe the magnificence of this story. This book and the way the authors tell it go beyond anything I have ever read before. Max and Ariana take you on a ride and make you wonder what's real and what's fake in this story. Think of legends and lores and what would happen if they were real. Some parts of this story will really have you thinking what if there is more to make believe, or I should say what I would say is make believe. This is only some of the twists and turns in this book.
Glass House, book one in the Glass House trilogy is a magnificent read. It's an out of this world plot that leaves you wanting more. The way to this reviewer's heart is through strong and believable characters and the authors capture that perfectly. It has been my privilege being able to review this story. I'm also lucky enough to get the second and third stories in this trilogy. I can't wait to read more and find out what happens. I hope you all will join me; this is one trilogy you will not want to miss!

I found myself blown away by the writing of Max and Ariana Overton. I also found myself a bit apprehensive. Could everything I have read be based on some type of truths? Or was it just hyped up legend and fantasy written to embroil the reader into a plot richly woven with mysticism. Either way I loved Glass House.
I recommend GLASS HOUSE to everyone who considers themselves a child of this earth. A beautiful and hauntingly written story that tantalizes and hints at things that has always been foremost in most of our minds. To believe or not to believe is the question that GLASS HOUSE longs to answer and in time does. Intricately written with certain flair and a voice that demands to be heard, Glass House commands the respect that it is due. I find myself awaiting the two more books in this trilogy. A GLASS DARKLY and LOOKING GLASS. Max and Ariana Overton have penned a winner in this fantastic voyage of novel wonderment. I look forward to an enriched future with this action and adventure laden engrossing trilogy and anticipate only the best that fiction has to offer.

Australian myth and magic explode in this tense, thrillingly suspenseful story with a relentlessly optimistic outlook. Aliens, monsters, mythical beings and ancient mysteries are carefully measured into this light yet shadowed story that the Overtons weave.
The theories that are submitted for the reader's consideration are quite interesting. The authors even include a few pages of discourse on the odd creatures Hay and his group encounter, along with a bibliography for those who wish more information, in the back of the novel. THE GLASS HOUSE is a mind-bending journey into mankind's past and future and, though the story is far from complete, this first volume in the trilogy is a strong start.

A spellbinding and enthralling book. The intermixing of science and mythology made it all that more "real," and took the story to a new level.
The main characters, Samantha and James, are strong and independent and both have to deal with things they had never experienced before. This is a Highly Recommended read!!

GLASS HOUSE draws from science and myth, including Neanderthals, Yowies (similar to Bigfoot), UFOs, Bunyips (similar to the Loch Ness monster), and the mythology of the Aborigine. Such disparate subjects become a kaleidoscope of elements that resolve themselves into a remarkable pattern that leaves the reader wondering at the simplicity of the explanation for most mythologies. My hat is off to these remarkable authors and this remarkable book. If you've an appetite for the paranormal or mythological beasts, GLASS HOUSE is a must read.

For all who have yearned to visit faraway places, Max & Ariana Overton's GLASS HOUSE is a delightful journey filled with intriguing characters. The story begins deep in the heart of an Australian Rainforest where scientist James Hay and reporter Samantha Louis begin a quest to solve ancient Australian mysteries. You'll just have to read this page turner to find out what they discover. If you enjoyed Indiana Jones and the Mummy, you'll love this must read.
