The Mirror by Nora Roberts
Published: November 19, 2024 by St. Martin's Press
Genres: Paranormal Romance, Suspense
Taken from Goodreads: #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts continues the hauntingly spectacular Lost Bride Trilogy with book two, The Mirror.
When Sonya MacTavish inherits the huge Victorian mansion on the coast of Maine, she has no idea that the house is haunted. The footsteps she hears at night, the doors slamming, the music playing, are not figments of her imagination. In her dreams she sees glimpses of the past. In the present she finds portraits of brides. And when she has visions of an antique mirror, she is drawn to it, sensing it holds dark family secrets.
Then one night the mirror appears and Sonya glides through this looking glass, into the past—and sees a bride murdered on her wedding day, the circle of gold torn from her finger. It is a scene that will play out again and again—a centuries-old curse that must be broken—and a puzzle she must solve if there is any hope of breaking the curse.
My Thoughts: The Mirror is book 2 in The Lost Bride Trilogy and they must be read in order. This book picks up where book 1 ended. Sonya is living in the haunted mansion that the uncle she did not even know she had left for her. Luckily, she has some great friends and an amazing boyfriend to help her through all that this house is throwing at her.
Sonya is a brave character. I love that she is not afraid of the history of the mansion and the past owners. She wants to know the story of the brides that have lost their lives. Each bride has their own story but unfortunately came to the same ending. The history of the mansion in Maine is rich and deep with so much sadness and love. It is important that anyone’s family history is not lost. Sonya is working hard to make sure they are not forgotten and that the future becomes much happier.
I found The Mirror to be slower than the first book. There were dragging parts that I found myself skimming over to get to a more intriguing parts. I still love the series and the storyline. I am excited to see where book three will take us.
Thank you St. Martin’s Press for a copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
