Graham had a simple A job he enjoyed, a wife that he loved, and a young son that kept each and every day full of surprises. But when his father passed away unexpectedly, he inherited a family heirloom that would begin to...complicate matters.
A mirror that had been in his family for generations, Graham quickly found that its reflections were out of the ordinary, and that it had prophetic powers beyond his comprehension. Giving him just a momentary glance at souls who were on the knife’s edge of life and death, it was up to him to try to save them as they were thrust unknowingly into his path.
Finding a way to balance his daily life with this newfound responsibility was proving arduous enough, but when the mirror begins showing him reflections of his own family, Graham finds his world irretrievably changed. Will he be able to save them, or will he be forced to live with the same regret that so many have suffered before him?
Renee Novelle is a published journalist, author and photographer who enjoys exploring the creative space. She is currently working on her next manuscript.
An interesting little story involving a mirror which reveals more than just the reflection of the viewer. My only problem with it was that I could not understand why a father would pass such a horrible item on to his son. Disregarding this though the book was suitably scary and a quick and easy read.
Once again, Ms Novelle grabs your attention with the first paragraph and leaves you hoping to see these characters again in another of her works! She has an amazing ability to develop her characters within just a few sentences, leaving you feeling as if you have known them for years and are sharing the story, not as a reader, but as part of the plot itself. This new work is of a different genre, however as deeply thought out and developed as her other works. It is so exciting and refreshing to find an author that can not only develop amazing characters and plots, but can do that across many genre successfully. This book delves to the very core of one's soul. We all want to be a vital participate of humanity, to care deeply for and protect our loved ones and, given the ability, to be able to alter the course of another person's life so that death can be prevented just by one person caring enough to intervene. If given that opportunity, how would you respond? And so begins the choices for Graham. A riveting, fast pace story of suspense, love and life altering choices.
This is a story following Graham. We begin with the funeral of his father and then move on to the reading of the will where Graham is left a mirror. An item with a family tradition and a cryptic message from his father.
Graham is drawn to the mirror with it's demand for him to remember something vital. It takes over his life in more ways than one, luring Graham to return to it again and again. It tests him and he wonders how his father coped if he too saw what Graham can see.
This was a surprisingly short book, but well written and intriguing.
I really enjoyed this well written suspense story. The author grabbed me into the story from the beginning. It is one of those stories that although it had an ending, I can see it continuing on.
This is a fast paced story that is short enough to read in one sitting because you won't want to put it down. Honestly, I got chills at the ending! It will also make you hope that you never inherit a mirror.
If you like eerie, suspenseful books, this is a really good one!
I'm the author, so of course I loved this book ;-P
