Really enjoyed this audiobook. I like that the narrator uses slightly different accents for each character. Love the continuation of the story from the first book, too. I am invested 100%

This book felt very monotonous. Same things happening over and over. I am forward to book 3 wrapping this up. I still love the characters but I needed to see something different happen in this book

The Mirror, Book 2 in The Lost Bride Trilogy picks right up where book 1, The Inheritance, left off. The protagonist, Sonya, continues building her new life with best friend Cleo, boyfriend Trey, and, you know it’s coming… Cleo’s boyfriend Owen. Together, they are solving the mystery of The Lost Brides with the help, and hindrance, of the mansion’s ghosts.

I love how Roberts built the ghost characters into the story. I’m just as intrigued by their pasts and their role in the present-day story as I am the main characters.
As I was lucky enough to obtain a copy of the audiobook, I must mention how, for me, the reader of any audiobook is just as important as how the book flows. Brittany Pressley is a great reader who provides impeccable characterization through her voices. Even the fact that one of the voices annoys me shows her skill. (Not all voices are pleasant to our ears, right?)
I thoroughly enjoyed The Inheritance and do encourage readers to read it before launching into The Mirror to get all of the details, but The Mirror can be read as a stand-alone.
Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy of this audiobook.

As soon as I got my hands on the ebook version I grabbed up the audio of the first one from the library to "re-listen" to it (it was the third time through and just as good) and then immediately started on The Mirror. It picks up right where The Inheritance leaves off so make sure you read that one first. Sonya has inherited a mansion in Maine from her father's brother (who their family didn't know of) and it just so happens to be haunted. Cleo, her bestie, has now moved in and together they are making it home. Trey, greeted her on arrival and they have only grown closer along with the rest of his family and it happens his best friend is her cousin, Owen. When Sonya decides to go through the mirror when they find it, Owen goes with her. Visions, ghosts, and visions and maybe some secrets that need to come out to break the curse on the mansion.

I cannot wait for the conclusion to this trilogy!

When I received the audio version I immediately listened to that and, WOW, I could not put it down. It was just a riveting as if I hadn't read the book in the recent few weeks.

Thank you NetGalley for an audio ARC of the second book in The Lost Bride Trilogy. You get to better understand what happened to the brides and the antagonist Hester Dobbs. Cohabitating with paranormal's seem to be key to the theme. The series reads more like a happily ever after with blooming love affairs. Can't wait to see if Hester gets what coming to her.

This story is so captivating! The mixture of best friends and found friends fighting a ghost trying to destroy their family is one that has had me on the edge of my seat for two books now. I loved both of the audio books with different narrators and especially love the character voice of Cleo is my favorite. The cliffhangers on each book made me want to immediately jump into the conclusion of this 3 book series and see Dobbs finally defeated! How are they going to do it?!?

4 Stars

Great continuation of the story! This book kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what is going to happen. I LOVE all of the paranormal elements. The narrator was perfect at telling the story. I can't wait for the 3rd book!!

Thank you to Macmillian audio and Net Galley for the opportunity to listen to this book.

I can't believe this is my first Nora Roberts book. She's such a prolific writer and this is my very first time reading her work. Even though I stepped into book 2 of 3, I very much enjoyed it. I'm a converted fan of her work now. Roberts has such a rich way of writing, world and character building that it really draws you in. I felt so emotionally invested in the characters and the story. I am definitely going to go and read more Nora Roberts books now. Highly recommend this series.

This is the second book in the trilogy, and if you are a long time Robert's fan, as I am, her trilogies are slightly formulaic. Book 2 is strengthening of main character bonds, with the danger and intrigue increasing, while we try to figure out the villains next move. Despite knowing that, I still devoured the story, and absolutely can't wait for the final installment.

This book starts at where the first one ends. Let me tell you I did not think it could be any better than the first and I was wrong. You have to read the first book to truly understand what is going on in the second so please read that one first. I laughed and cried with this book. I love all the bonding going on between both the ghosts and the real people. A little bit of romance. It is just a great book!! I could not put it down!! That ending oh my gosh!!! I can’t wait for the next one to come out!! You need to read this book!! You will not be disappointed!!

I listened to the audio book version of this title and totally enjoyed it. I'm a fan of Nora Robert's books and this didn't disappoint! The voice actor was excellent and really made the listening experience a joy.

Took me a while to really get into the story.
It starts off at a run and i thought for a second I accidentally skipped some chapters.
It's slow moving. Random things happening.
It follows an everyday life in a paranormal way.
It kept me interested enough, mainly because I really wanted to know the whats and hows and how it would end.
....... is there a 3rd book cause....
I have more questions than answers..

I couldn't wait to dive into this one after finishing Inheritance last week. I tell ya, if I could live in a mansion with my best friend and ghosts that play me music and clean up after me, I would LOVE that! The Mirror picks up right where Inheritance left off and you get a lot more backstory and it is so entertaining!

Pressly knows it out of the park with her narration. Her southern drawl is stellar and I loved how she brought the characters and the story to life!

This is the second book in this trilogy and they need to be read in order. The last book ended on a cliffhanger and this book picked up where that left off. We learned more about both the main characters and the mystery. This book is a very satisfying read, but the story does not wrap up. I’m now dying for the final installment to find out what else happens.

Loved the narrator for this audiobook, she kept me engaged in the book. I enjoyed the storyline of the book, but felt like I was missing a few things, that's then I realized this book is Book 2 in a Trilogy. Even though I got the gist of the storyline and was able to understand most of what was going on I think I would have enjoyed it more if I read book 1. I love Nora Roberts books so I will be getting this entire set and reading it.

Thank you NetGalley and the author for this ARC!!

I love this series, just like I knew I would. The Mirror is the second in the Lost Bride Trilogy, and I ALMOST wish that I had waited until the third book was out to read the first two, because now I just have to know how it all will end. I am loving the #girlpower and paranormal vibes of Inheritance and The Mirror. From helpful ghosts to the spirit of a boy that entertain Sonya's dog while she works, this is Nora Roberts at her best. The only thing that could make this series even better? Brittany Pressley as the narrator. need book three ASAP!

Thank you, NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this audiobook for review. This was a captivating audiobook about the past and how it was affecting the present. It is the second book in the Lost Bride trilogy, but I didn’t feel like I was missing anything by not having read the first book in the series before reading this one. I will be going back and reading the first book now since I enjoyed this book so much. Roberts always delivers a story full of drama, love, and mystery.

I absolutely loved this book and was hooked from the beginning of it. Nora Roberts is and always has been an amazing author with flawless writing.

Rating: 4/5
I received an eARC for my honest opinion.

This is book two of The Lost Bride Trilogy. I will admit that I didn’t realize when I requested this book, it was number two in the trilogy but let me tell you what, I didn’t have a hard time at all with understanding what was going on. I do have to say a lot of that is due to Nora Roberts retellings of things that happened in the first book and to her great job at the world-building and having great characters that I didn’t even need the first book, but I will be reading book one here soon because if it's anything like this book I know I will like it.

I liked that this book is about Sonya MacTavish who has inherited a Victorian mansion off the coast of Maine, but she had no clue that it was haunted by the ghost of seven brides who have died in that house on their wedding day. Why are they all dying? That is the mystery and one that you will know once you pick up these books. I liked that Nora gave the readers a glimpse of the past and why everything is happening. I loved getting to know the characters in this book and I can’t really say if the plot was coming through or not more in this book because I haven’t read the first one. However, for me that wasn’t a big deal because I got to focus on the characters, which I loved.

I found Sonya and Cleo to be the best of friends and where one might be lacking, that is where the other one will be there to help them. That is true friendship balance that you don’t see much in books anymore. You will see that these two women are strong and dedicated, who understand failure but don’t accept it, who will do anything to make sure that they get their HEA and to get through the hard times. I found the males in the book to be paired with the exact woman that complaints them, I liked that they’re there for Cleo and Sonya but they’re not trying to go above them or stop them from trying to understand what is going on in the house and how to stop it. I loved the romance between Sonya and Trey, and with Cleo and Owen it really helped to balance out the negative things that one spirit is doing around the house.

I received an audio copy of this book as well and I loved the narrator Brittany Pressley really helped this book shine with the characters, and the details to the book. I loved that she put her heart into narrating this book and helped bring it to life. I can’t wait to read book one and then book three, I must know how Nora is going to wrap up this trilogy.

I want to thank NetGalley, Macmillan audio and St. Martin’s Press for the opportunity to review this book.

*The Mirror* is a fascinating mix of historical fiction, mystery, and fantasy. It follows two women dealing with relationships and a haunted house with a creepy ghost, all while unraveling a centuries-old curse—plus, the story has enough background to make it easy to jump in even if you haven't read the first book (like me).
