The devil's mirror
Back-cover description
When the Michaels and their extended, gloriously messy clan trade city life for a decaying island manor, they expect busted pipes, nosy locals, and the odd ghost story-not a relic that watches back.
At the heart of the renovated Hideaway Resort hangs an antique oval mirror whose carved frame seems to shift when no one's looking. It starts with whispers, stray reflections, and dreams that feel borrowed. Then the island's old legends surface: a sealed gate, a fallen house, and a war that never really ended.
Scott Michaels-restless, big-hearted, and in way over his head-stumbles into a fight he didn't ask for when a weathered priest and his mysterious apprentice reveal the mirror's true name...and the thing tethered to it. With Faith at his side and a blade that burns for whoever dares to love more than fear, Scott must choose: run from the darkness, or cut the anchor that's been feeding it for generations.
Equal parts family drama, coastal gothic, and high-stakes supernatural thriller, The Devil's Mirror turns a sunlit island into a labyrinth of reflections, where the danger isn't just what creeps in the shadows-but what looks exactly like you.
Expect:
A seaside manor with a past, reborn as a luxe resort with secrets in the walls
Legends of angels and traitors, and a relic that behaves like a doorway
A reluctant hero, a fearless girl, and an order that has guarded a story too long
Set-piece hauntings, moral choices, and a finale that shatters more than glass
Themes: family and found family, courage vs. doubt, the cost of secrecy, love as a weapon.
Fans of The Haunting of Hill House, Supernatural, and folk-myth thrillers will find a fresh, cinematic ride-one that asks a simple, unsettling question: What would your reflection do if it didn't have to be you?
