I love Nora Roberts trilogies, and this is another one of my favorites. I usually give most of Nora Roberts books five stars, but I'm going to give this one a four or actually a four and a half. It's the second in the series and about an evil witch that comes back as a ghost to haunt a manor, that the main character Sonya has inherited. It involves a lot of history of the manor and the brides that came before her. The writing as usual draws you in and the relationships are foremost in the book. I absolutely love the ghost Clover and how she plays music that is fitting for the occasion from phones and speakers. While the first book had a lot more action and development of characters, I actually thought this second book was a bit slow, with not a lot happening. If it wasn't for the characters, that I loved and want to read more about, I would say this series could have been wrapped up in two books. But, I will wait patiently for the third book and look forward to reading how they eventually destroy the nasty witch, while hopefully leaving the other beloved ghosts to freely roam the manor.

Another great read from Nora Roberts.
The Mirror followed the continuing story of Sonya and Cleo, along with their new loves.
A wicked witch(who's also a ghost), friendly house ghosts, and lots on mystery make this a great part 2 of The lost Brides Trilogy. Fully fleshed out characters and a wonderful small town atmosphere will draw you in.
I fell into this book as much as I did The Bride. Im eagerly awaiting book 3.

Not often that I DNF a book. I cannot get into this one. I have struggled through 4 chapters. Too many other books to read to persevere with this one.

This book is so amazing and enchanting! I literally cannot stop thinking about it long after the final page. Sonya and Cleo are making the manor quite a home, but Dobbs is determined to keep it. The relationships with Winter, Grandmere and Trey and Owen are so heart warming and you can't help but like them all. I can't wait to see how it unfolds in the next book. This series is Nora at her best!!!!! Thanks #Netgalley for this amazing ARC.

The Mirror is the follow up to The Inheritance, this story continues with Sonya traveling through a time portal mirror that is showing the past of The Lost Bride Manor. With the help her family and friends, the mystery of the curse upon the manor become a little clearer. Along with the time portal, she is finding portraits of the Lost Brides that have been patient by her father and his twin. The more she is shown, the closer she finds to breaking the curse.

Nora Roberts has a great talent for writing serial books that always leave the reader wanting more. Her classic writing of supernatural elements mixed with romance keeps the interest of the reader. And always, I enjoy the adorable pets with quirky personalities. Did not want this story to end, and cannot wait for the finale of the series.


I was given an advanced copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The Mirror is a an example of Nora Roberts at her best! She is a fantastic writer and I didn’t want the book to end. Thankfully we get one more in the trilogy to look forward to. I finished reading The Mirror quickly and was left gasping for more! The ghostly characters are as important to me as the main characters. Very multi dimensional storytelling keeps me coming back.

This series is fantastic! Be warned, you definitely need to start with Book 1-The Inheritance.
These characters are so likable and The Manor is like a character itself. This installment, The Mirror, picks up where the last left off. The Poole brides have stories to share with Sonya and as she uncovers more about her home and the tragedies it witnessed. Sonya is compelled to break the family curse, but she’s not alone, she has a great support system. This tale was filled with paranormal action-I couldn’t stop reading until I came to the ending, and even then I wasn’t ready for that to be the end. I can’t wait for the conclusion to this series!
Thank you to St.Martins press for the opportunity to read an early NetGalley copy-all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I always love that Ms. Roberts seems to hook me from the first chapter and I immediately fall into her books and this is no different. Sonya, Owen, her best friend Cleo, and Sonya's burgeoning romance with Trey is incredibly interesting and I was invested in their relationship from the beginning in the first book and this book deepens that.

With the backdrop of Maine, mansions, mystery, the supernatural, and of course, romance, I loved every aspect of this book and my only complaint is that I will have to wait for the final installment.

Let's hope they are able to stop the killing of the brides!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Nora Roberts for this book. I loved it. All opinions are obviously my own.

This is book 2 in Nora Robert's newest trilogy. The suspense builds as Sonya, Trey, Owen and Cleo continue their quest to retrieve the 7 rings and bring peace to the brides and grooms of the Manor. There are so many great twists in this story, and so easy to give spoilers, a must-read trilogy.

The Mirror is the second book in the Lost Bride Trilogy and picks up exactly where the first one left off; you really do need to read The Inheritance before this book for it to make much sense. This book was a bit slower paced and was more about revealing key information on each of the brides’ deaths and other facts from the past, which is probably going to be key for Sonya and her friends to break the curse in the final book. I really like the bond between the friends, and the bonds they are developing with the ghosts in the house; and the role that play in the story, overall.

Fans of Nora Roberts who like her trilogy books that are steeped in magic and fantasy will love this one, too!

And ghosties, bump in the nights, and the witch abound. This second book is background and filler to this trilogy and I enjoyed every second, as we continue on the quest. Cleo and Owen along with some of the brides get a glimpse into their own stories and the manor and its history “rock on”. Love the Clover and music inserts, Jack and Yoda make a sweet aside. Relax and enjoy, if you have not read the first book, grab it now because the next book will be the crescendo.

I was so excited for this one and squealed when I got the email to read it. Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors and I feel like this series will have a special place in my heart as book 1 was the last book I read before my son was born. It was honestly the perfect thing I needed both this year and last.

I loved being back in Maine and Lost Bride Manor. I’m obsessed with these characters and how they all just really get each other. The first book definitely ended on a cliffhanger and I was dying to find out what happens next! And of course, this one also ended on a cliffhanger so I’m (im)patiently waiting for the last book in this series.

If you’re into paranormal romance and haunted houses, definitely check out this series! Book 1 is already out and this one comes out in November! Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and the author for my early copy. All thoughts are my own.

The Mirror was the second book in the Bride series by Nora Roberts. It was a good read, however it took me a while to get into, as I had to vrecall the previous book. A suggestion would be to have a short synopsis of book one to help the reader recall the premise of the book. Once recall kicked in I thoroughly enjoyed the story and got wrapped up in it.. I am eagerly awaiting the third installment .

Thanks to NetGalley for providing an ARC. All opinions are my own. Nora Roberts is a compelling writer whether writing under her own name or as JD Robb. This is the second book of the Lost Brides Trilogy; it somewhat recaps a bit of the storyline from the first book and the romance between the protagonist and Trey deepens, as well as the romance between Cleo and Owen. The witch Hannah Dobbs haunting the castle continues to plague them while more backstory and portraits of the 7 murdered brides of the Poole family continue to resurface..

Inheritance left me hanging in the worst way, but The Mirror picks up right where it left off and continues this gripping story. I love getting to go back in time and experience the bride's stories and all of the ghostly activity in the manor house, friendly and frightening! Both Sonya and Cleo's careers and romances move forward in book two and you get a deeper understanding of the Poole family and its curse. I am loving this series! Book three, I am waiting with bated breath!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for access to this arc.

“The Mirror” by Nora Roberts is book 2 in “The Lost Bride Trilogy. This book picks up exactly where “the Inheritance” leaves off without much explanation of the previous book so I encourage everyone to read book one first as this definitely is not a stand alone!
While our heroine continues her life in her new community and along with her best friend who lives with her, they continue to fight the dominant malevolent spirit who occupies her haunted mansion. They are committed to fight the evil presence and break the curse of the many generations of deaths of her former family members that took place around each of their weddings.
Ultimately, this book fills out the story of the 7 brides but it lacked a lot of the tension that kept me glued to book one. The ghosts are friendly, helpful and entertaining. The scenes that take us back in time as witnesses are cozy. I was hoping for more fear and danger, but I am suspiciously hopeful our incredibly gifted author is setting the stage for a stunning book 3!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I knew this one was going to be a good one!! Nora didn't disappoint at all!! It's more than good, it's Great!! Seven is a powerful number and Sonya and crew are finding out that learning of the seven, Seven Brides, Seven rings, is a really wild ride. Sonya was told early on that the manor she inherited was haunted, now she, along with her love interest, Trey, her best friend, Cleo and her cousin Owen, along with some lovable canine and one laid-back cat, is learning there is more to the banging, door slamming and bell ringing. Say hello to Hester, well better know as Dobbs, also better known as the wicked witch. Boy, does Dobbs keep the crew on their toes, but not to be outdone, the magical mirror comes around often to add to the mystery of The Manor. Want to join in on the fun? Hope you do and I can hardly wait to see how this one ends. Five stars, not enough, but the best I can do!! Highly recommend!!

Book #2 in the series, just as good as book #1! Dobbs scares the beejezus out of me, but all the other ghostly characters seem so kind. It must be nice having a ghost who waters your flowers and does your dishes! Aside from that, the premise of the book continued on well, and leads right into what will be Book #3 whenever it comes out. Another hit!

Ahhh she nails it again. Another amazing story at the Lost Bride Manor. We now have heard how all 7 brides died, and more about the amazing lives Sonya and Cleo have made for themselves at the manor. I love the addition of the cat to the family, and the return of the evil ex. I truly cannot wait to see how she ties this all together. Is the ex related to Hobbs?!

Book 2 in The Lost Bride Trilogy was just as good as the 1st. I loved finding out that Owen is in the mix for good. He’s great with Cleo. The back story of all the brides now lends to seeing how Sonya will be the rings back. Absolutely cannot wait for book 3. Thank you for the ARC NetGalley and St Martins Publishing Group
