Synopsis:
Some truths are never meant to be known.
The Midnight Mirror is a gothic cozy mystery and a haunting psychological descent into obsession, perception, and the twisted cost of knowing too much.
When a spooky, eccentric curiosity shop filled with strange items is attacked by thieves, the two women in charge of the store have a plan to stop them in their tracks.
Stories can have the power to create or destroy.
Each twisted tale the shopkeepers spin sends the would-be attackers into a spiral of inner turmoil and will set your own heart racing.
What happens when a young man finds a mysterious coin with supernatural powers and a history of destruction?
How can a photo capture the soul of a person and can simply seeing the image tear your world apart?
When is a statue not a statue and what is the price of transgression?
When a voice in your head tells you not to look up, do you obey and play it sweet or try to escape? What is lurking there?
If you could go back in time to change things, would you choose to do it at any cost?
As the shopkeepers work their magic on the thieves, the plot thickens. Strange deeds are afoot. But who is watching them all? Who lurks in the corner of your eye?
Who is watching the scene, silent and invisible and what does this being want?
Told in nine atmospheric parts, The Midnight Mirror will grip fans of gothic whodunit, spooky cozy mystery, and psychological suspense. If you enjoy cozy supernatural mystery, creepy cozy mysteries, or eerie horror fiction in the spirit of Black Mirror, House of Leaves, or The Twilight Zone, this is the book for your spooky season reading list.
Can anyone survive The Silent Hare and what will be the fate of the fallen?
Review:
A shop owner is robbed, and the thieves are searching for a particular object. To stop them, the owner begins telling stories about other artifacts, hoping to convince them to leave – or perhaps for another reason entirely. We don’t know that, yet.
Each object comes with its own story, and their lengths vary. Some are eerie and unsettling, while others are quite brief. Together, they offer glimpses into the objects’ histories and, more importantly, how they influence people, often pushing them to act against their own will.
Some of these stories drew me in and sparked my curiosity, while others felt a little underwhelming. Overall, it is a short and quick read – enjoyable in the moment, but not something that will stay with me or that I will think about much afterwards.
