The Mirror is the second installment of The Lost Bride trilogy.  The story continued right where book one left off. We learn more about the history of the manor and the backstories of the seven lost brides in order get a better/thorough understanding of the story/plot. I did enjoy book one more which helped build the mystery and pull the reader in. I appreciated the humorous scenes sprinkled throughout the story that involved the ghosts of the manor.

 It was longer than it should have been though (over 400 pages).  The author focused a lot of attention on Sonya’s and Cleo’s daily schedule and activities (working out, cooking, work schedule/breaks, figuring out what’s for dinner, taking the dogs out) which slowed the pace of the book. There was also a lot of unnecessary dialogue (fillers) which did not add to the story. 

The cliffhanger is nothing like book one which left the reader hanging. It just ended. I will continue onto the third and final book as I am eager to see how everything wraps up. All in all it was a solid read. 

3 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️
