Loved everything about this book and story and the narration of the book!! It’s a hot item at the library. Can’t wait for book 3!

3.5 stars - The second book is just as cozy! It is still focused on the small rituals of day to day life, and the talent of our main characters. While I enjoy the low stakes, I wish we learned a tad more about the mystery behind the lost brides.
The audio book narrator is amazing, I love listening to her voice.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC against an honest review.

The Mirror picks up right where Inheritance left off, so you have to read them in order! Also, note this is book 2 of a trilogy, so the ending is open.
Despite the evil witch, this series has a cozy vibe that I was totally digging. The story of the brides develops more and the romance between Sonya and Oliver continues to build (slowly). So, you learn more about the curse and the history of the family, and Sonya begins to make a plan to rid the house of the curse and the evil spirit.
I listened to this one (I only read the first one), and the audio is perfect!! Brittney Pressley is wonderful and really brings the story to life. Again, I think we are heading to 5 stars, but I'm withholding until I see how it all wraps up!

Not as good as the first book but it was still a great book. Sonya discovers more of the lost brides and learns more about the witch that cursed the mansion. She make the house more like a home and Heater is not liking what she is doing.

I was gifted this ebook and audiobook by NetGalley.
This seems to be a “filler” or “bridge” book. Not a lot happens, but it gets you to the next point.
I felt like the dialogue was a little chaotic, bouncing back and forth between the topic and random conversation within the same scene.
I feel like the book was too long considering how much was actually happening. A lot of filler that I felt was unnecessary and uninteresting.
Unfortunately, it was a DNF for me.
One positive, the audiobook narration was really well done.

I received a complimentary copy of this book "The Mirror" and all opinions expressed are my own. I listened to the audiobook. I waited to listen to this book, because of the trilogy, I prefer them all together. This was a really good book. I do like a book with paranormal, ghosts, all that. I listened to this one right after the first one. I can't wait for the third book!!

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.
