Each night, he invades my dreams, blurring the line between fear and lust. I should be terrified, I should run—but instead, I find myself drawn to him. His voice whispers in the dark, promising pleasure and power, pulling me deeper into his world.
As the mirror pulses with his presence, I face an impossible remain safe in my reality, or surrender to the shadow in the mirror and let him consume me completely. The boundary between our worlds is breaking, and the deeper I fall, the harder it is to remember what’s real.

Will I escape the monster’s grasp, or will I become his forever?

I felt like this book could have been half as long and still had the same effect. It was so repetitive that I thought my kindle glitched and I was reading the same chapter more than once. The concept was okay. Had potential for some world building or hell even a little character building. I’ve yet to DNF a book, but found myself skipping over entire paragraphs to get to the finish faster.

It was so damn repetitive that it was painful. The plot was interesting, and it could have been good, but it needs a lot of editing

3.5 rounded up
I liked it. I thought the concept was great and I liked the setting but at times it was a bit repetitive and cliched. I also didn't like how the FMC was described as fragile and delicate but also strong and resilient. Which is it?

It was repetitive throughout the book. The storyline is great though.

1/5 ⭐️ 2/5 🌶️ Interesting concept, bad execution. "I could feel him/her. I wanted him/her even though I know I shouldn't." Repeat that for 100 pages and that was the book 🙁

This could be a perfect quick read if the story was cut in half. It was EXTREMELY repetitive and needs a little bit of editing.

Good but a little iffy
I absolutely loved this story NGL it was beautiful how you saw the characters change and be rebuilt. It was also pretty spicy which is a very important fact, but there were a lot of things that kind of felt like it overlapped the spicy parts where it starts to pick up were always the same but good nonetheless and the ending overlapped a bit too but it was still good I loved this story and do recommend it for a short read.

Omfg this was so BORING!! Little over 100 pages and it took me 4 months to complete it 😫
The writing isn't the best and neither is the story, to be honest. Continuity is a major issue in this book and one of my major pet peeves. This book also suffered from major repetition and was so fawkin annoying.
I'm just glad it's over with.

This was a cool concept. Woman moves to a creepy mansion and finds a shadow demon in her mirror and proceeds to get with it. lol.
I liked how Volac risked it all to be with her and how they got their own HEA

It was so repetitive. The same exact phrases were repeated word for word multiple times. The MMC was never fully explained so I had no idea what he was or what the lore behind him was. There was barely a story and the spicy scenes were just repetitive and boring.

This book could have been an email.
The MC’s repeat their inner thoughts over and over, chapter after chapter. When there is dialogue, it’s flat and boring. I couldn’t even finish the epilogue.
