The Secret of Mirror House
A Jennifer Blake Classic! Romantic gothic suspense set in the Deep South in the 1870s.
After Amelia Harveston loses her mother to tragic circumstances, she fears she will be forced into poverty and the position of a desperate woman. When distant relatives invite her to live with them at Mirror House, the plantation home built by her grandfather, she readily accepts. Her expectations of a warm family embrace where she'll be loved and protected, though, are soon shattered.
Mirror House is a home haunted by the past, by dark secrets and by the cruel games its inhabitants play. Alone and with no one to confide in, Amelia struggles to unearth the house's secrets. Then the accidents begin, and Amelia knows she's become the target for the hate that infests it.
Out of the despair, two seeming allies appear. Two offers of marriage promise sanctuary. Both men claim to love her. One of them is lying. Amelia must choose the one man whose embrace promises the love and safety her very life depends on. But the house, it seems, has other ideas...

The Secret of Mirror House by Jennifer Blake is a 2013 Steel Magnolia Press publication. (Original publication date: 1969)
I love these classic Gothic novels!!
After her mother's death, Amelia finds herself nearly destitute, so when distant relatives extend an invitation for her to come stay with them, she doesn't hesitate to accept.
However, Amelia begins to regret that decision almost immediately, when she encounters a house full of relatives who seem to dislike her on sight.
She is particularly shaken by the response she receives from Neville, a man who has never married, is rude, blunt, and even cruel at times.
But, at least her cousin, James is friendly... On the surface, at least.
But, Amelia is doubly shocked when it becomes clear her relatives want her marry one of these gentlemen, the sooner the better. Not only that, they seem to have a preference. But, Amelia has no interest in marriage, much less to either of these two men.
The tension mounts as the family seems to become more desperate and worried about the threat Amelia represents for their future.
Is there anyone in the house Amelia can trust? Will she learn the secrets of Mirror House?
This book was written at the height of the Gothic mystery/romance craze, but boasts a historical setting which gives it a more sinister atmosphere, as does the Southern locale. The extreme heat and humidity that hangs in the air intensifies the feeling of hostility and increases the level of suspense.
The author did a very good job of capturing the true Southern Gothic tones, building the tension at just the right pace. Because the story was set in the 1870's, a time when women had few options, Amelia could have become a stereotypical 'damsel in distress', but instead, she stands her ground, even when she was subjected to numerous mind games and trickery, displaying bravery, even when she began to fear for her life.
The romance is clean, and while there are some adult situations, anyone can enjoy these stories.
So, although this book was originally published back in the late sixties, it manages to stand the test of time for the most part.
I was so excited to see these books out there in the digital market because they are very hard to find in paperback. For people like myself, who loved borrowing these books from their mothers, it is so nice to be able to buy them , re-read them, and keep them forever. It is also a chance for readers to discover them anew and gain a new audience.
A wonderful and rare Gothic Classic- 4 stars

Warning: this review may contain unmarked spoilers!
I have recently made the wonderful discovery that some kindle unlimited titles also available as an audiobook, and as I have just downloaded the audible app for my phone, I can listen to them at no extra charge. YAY! I'm actually quite excited as I have just about exhausted my tiny library's even tinier audiobook selection, and having to buy enough books to entertain me on my daily commute would get rather expensive. So my general happiness over this may have influenced me to rate this a bit higher than if I'd simply read it. It's a silly story. But it kept me entertained for a few days driving to and from work.
So a poor orphan named Amelia shows up at her cousin's plantation house in Louisiana, a couple decades after the end of the Civil War. Because this is a gothic romance, the plantation is dilapidated and everyone who lives there acts weird and mysterious. When Amelia arrives, she meets her cousin James, a war veteran who is polite and gentlemanly, and a friend of the family named Nelville, who is drunk and belligerent.
Then she meets the rest of the family--her cousin Catherine who has an unhealthy fixation on James; an opium-addicted cousin named Sylvester and his bitter, barren wife Reba, and a mysterious disfigured old woman who wanders the halls at night. These people alternately play mind games with her and try to convince her how much they want her to live with them happily ever after. You would think eventually Amelia would call them out on their BS, but she doesn't seem to have enough brain power to manage it. (That might have been partly the fault of the narrator, who read all of Amelia's dialogue in a way that made her sound several fries short of a happy meal.)
Someone tells Amelia of her convoluted family history -- to be honest, my mind kind of wandered at that point so I'm not sure exactly what it was. (I blame the traffic! And why should I try to be smarter than Amelia anyway? That would take away all the fun.)
Catherine announces that Amelia really needs to marry either James or Nelville...or else. For some reason, Amelia doesn't say, "You mean you want me to pick either the rude drunk or the guy who spends all his time locked up in his study claiming he's writing his top secret memoir? No, thanks!" Instead she dithers.
At some point an old woman from the bayou named Granny Salome wanders into the story for long enough to give Amelia a good luck charm and some cryptic warnings. Then the mysterious disfigured lady in the house speaks up to add her own cryptic warnings to the mix. Amelia, you are in danger here! I'm not sure why Amelia didn't say, "I guess that explains all the weird 'accidents' I've been having lately!" Nope, she just lets people push her out of the window and then drinks mysterious cordials that Catherine gives her for her "health."
Then things get even weirder and crazier for a couple of chapters, and then it ends. Honestly, for what it was, I did find it mildly entertaining!

Damsel is attracted to creepiest inhabitant of the house - check.
Several attempts are made on the damsel's life that she dismisses as accidents because she wouldn't know a red flag if it was shoved up her nose - check.
Pseudo voodoo that you do so well - check.
Lots of nocturnal activity that isn't of the sexual kind - check.
Yep, this is a Gothic, alright.

This book was weird and not really a Gothic romance. Gothic? yes. Romance? no
It was really hard for me to get into this book, despite the atmosphere because I had such a tough time to relating to the issue and why Nelville went along with any of it frankly (especially after knowing how things really stood - it just made no sense).
Let's start with the description of the book:
"Out of the despair, two seeming allies appear. Two offers of marriage promise sanctuary. Both men claim to love her. One of them is lying."
Ok neither man ever claimed to love her. In fact, they both specifically stated they did NOT love her, which makes sense as they'd known her all of a few weeks.
There are hardly any interactions with James so he could hardly be counted as a love interest and those with Nelville were just strange for most of the book. The "romance" is a lot of vague hints on whether Amelia might or might not be attracted to either man but mostly she's as confused as the reader is lol. There is one real kiss in the whole book - at the end of chapter 10 (it's 12 chapters). Really, not enough to say this book is a romance.
As a Gothic book, it does really well. The atmosphere is amazing. You felt just as hot and claustrophobic as the characters - well done.
The mystery was eh. I didn't see the woman behind Amelia's attack by Grannie but the other pieces already fit. What was kind of irritating was the complete wrap up in the final chapter by one character, who apparently knew who started the original fire ALL ALONG, despite saying she had no clue. So if she had said something then or even in the present - none of what happened in the last several chapters would have happened!! (I get that doesn't work for the way the book was written but for the reader it's absolutely silly. A character knows all along who did what but not only does nothing, but specifically says she doesn't know?? A lazy way to continue the plot. Having the main villain discovered somehow later would have made more sense than having one character be apparently omnipotent).
The family history was a bit confusing at times. The story of the family relations sometimes got confusing and what really confused me is it was mentioned that they didn't know Amelia ever existed because her mother left, but then somehow they magically know she exists after her mother dies and invite her to stay.
As someone else said - a lot of nothing happens. That was the real issue with the book.
If you want a slow but atmospheric story with southern twist on the Gothic, then this is for you. If you were hoping for a little more romance and a mystery that made more sense, then it's not. I gave it 3 stars because it still had great descriptions and was an ok story.

What's done in the dark...
Amelia becomes a poor relation when her mother passes. Left to her own devices in a houseful of strangers, she becomes the star in their mad play to hold onto their home. By good deed or ill, they will not be removed from the land. Why are they threatened by her presence? Who can she trust in this new life?
Intriguing and mind-bending with a twist ending I did not see coming. I have been reading JB romances since I was a kid. Love them all! The Gothic Collection is relatively new to me but are proving to be just as wonderful.

This book is interesting and mysterious. I enjoyed the misadventures of an odd family set in the South after the civil war.

Riveting read! The ideals of family and loyalty, of what one must do, all come together in a roller coaster ride. Just when one thinks the answer is in front of them of his not. A true gothic story.

Amelia Haverston’s mother dies and she receives an invitation from her cousins to live with them in Mirror House. Her grandfather had both a wife and a mistress, but only the mistress had a son. Her father was that child. It’s Louisiana in the 1870’s; the air is stifling and no one seems particularly welcoming. Still in mourning for her mother, and with nowhere else to go, she desperately tries to work out what has happened to these people to make them all so bitter and manipulative.
Katherine - the eldest cousin and self appointed housekeeper; Sylvestor and his wife Reba, his younger brother James with the limp from the war, and Nelville - great-nephew on the other side of her grandfather’s wife - sent to live on the plantation as an orphan of eight.
The now dilapidated mansion built for her grandfather’s brother, sits on the other side of the lake and looks at the burnt ruins of the original house. The one where her grandfather and his wife died in a fire.
But at night she sees an old woman walking the boards. And she has never been introduced.
Who is the woman? Why is her face covered? And who is trying to harm Amelia?

This is part of Blake’s back catalogue and was originally published in 1970.
I recently read a Dean Koontz writing book and Gothic was one of his categories. This book has ticked every box he mentioned:
A young heroine, alone in the world and often an orphan, goes to an old and isolated house to live in a house with her last living relatives. Everyone in the house is a stranger to her. At the house, the heroine meets a cast of suspicious characters (servants, the lady of the house, one or two sons) and soon finds herself plunged into some mystery—either of supernatural or more mundane origins, most often concerning the death of someone in the house. Inexplicably, she becomes the target of the supernatural or mundane killer's attacks. Concurrent with the development of this mystery plot is the growth of a romance between the heroine and one of the young men in the household. Either this man is her only safe haven in the dark events of the story—or he is as much a suspect as any of the other characters. The conclusion of a Gothic must always promise marriage or the development of genuine love between heroine and hero.
This is a perfect example of a Southern Gothic novel. The slaves are almost non-existent; dark figures seen in the fields. A few household servants who deliver spell-bags from the local witch woman that everyone is frightened of. There are scars from the recent ‘war of northern aggression’; land prices are low, cotton is still worth something but the estate is indebted and none of the ‘gentlemen’ would think to work. And the drought hangs over them all.
Being old school there’s no sex. Amelia can’t possibly be a feminist and pack her bags to leave. She can be feisty, but not that independent.
I think this edition has been scanned in to Kindle and it shows. There are a lot of errors; missing parts, and wrong word usage. Like this:
I think that is meant to be opium. And ‘teamed’ instead of ‘learned’.
But it was a pretty good read.

It's been a very long time since I've read a Gothic novel. This is not my favourite genre but Jennifer Blake writes it well. I especially liked the "Heathcliff"
characteristic she put into "Nelville" in this utterance, "But, I don't really care, so why should I trouble deaf heaven with my impenitent remorse."
A number of typing/editing mistakes in this Kindle Edition was particularly distracting; but, I persevered reading, because the chemistry between "Nelville" and "Amelia" was quite entertaining. There was little doubt in my mind that these two characters react to one another; but I was often hard pressed to determine whether or not their relationship was developing positively, when their responses to each other frequently appeared to be negative.

Really enjoyed this. I started reading and was trying to finish it before I went to bed, looked up, and discovered it was 3AM. So I put it down and went to bed. The characters are vividly drawn. I like how I thought I knew most of them when subtle changes occurred. The reason I did not give it five stars, though, is the fact that it is advertised to have a romantic relationship within the book but the author did not live up to that.

Without giving away any secrets, pun intended, the overall notion of mirror houses is so Southern sounding that I trust it was probably done. Got your interest yet? This is a well written, spooky and suspenseful combination of whodunit, historical romance and well, you read it and decide. I certainly enjoyed the tale.
February 25, 2014
Although I finished this book it was not the type of book I usually like. Too many weird characters.
April 26, 2014
Meh. The plot itself was all right but the execution of it didn't do much for me. I didn't hate it but I'm glad to be done with it.
