The Mirror House Girls

By: Gardner, Faith

An isolated compound. A so-called family. A collision course with unthinkable violence.

When Winona rents a room at the eccentric Mirror House, she hopes to make new friends. What she gets instead is a "family" led by the charismatic psychologist Simon Spellmeyer.

But if she wants to stay at Mirror House, Winona must join in following Simon's strange protocols for self-improvement. Warning bells chime inside her, yet the allure of transformation keeps her there. His methods are disturbing, but the results are undeniable.

Soon, Simon's vision for their future spirals in a darker direction. The group relocates, expands, and Winona's once-close bond with her housemates grows fractured by mistrust until she's trapped among people she hardly recognizes. Including herself.

Can Winona wake up to the true cost of Simon's vision in time to get out alive? Or will the utopian dream descend into a tragic nightmare?

Customer Reviews

Creepy cults!

There is something so fascinating yet insidious when reading books with cults in them. The way that the leader, in this case Simon, can twist a person's thoughts and sense of self, melding them into the image they want for their followers. From the viewpoint of Winona for the before and snippets of Scarlett for after, Faith Gardner weaves a tragic and thrilling story of finding a place where Winona belongs after the death of her grandmother, meeting the magnetic Simon and the other women in a mystical house covered in mirrors. It is a compelling and fast read because it was so hard to put down and the chapters were perfect in getting me to think, just one more chapter. So, yes, a very well written thriller about a cult and all that leads to the final trust and whether Winona follows them to the end or creates her own ending. That little hope makes this great! Be prepared to read this one about one sitting though!
