DNF at 30%.

I am not the intended audience for this book. I came in looking for a murder mystery with a dash of paranormal. What I got instead is a group of privileged people hanging out in their expensive homes and talking pregnancy, babies and nanny care, and who dates whom. The murder was mentioned once, and we don't even know if it really happened. Oh, and the paranormal aspect didn't play any major part in the story so far.

This is a slice of life of a pregnant 40 something successful woman, with a dash of romance on top, not a murder mystery. Some people might enjoy this genre, but that is definitely not my cup of tea.

PS: I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was thrilled to be able to review an ARC from this series. I am a very big fan of Elizabeth Hunter and honestly, I think I've almost read almost everything she has written. If not, then it's darn close. Anyway, this is the second book in a new series about 3 middle aged women who find themselves with supernatural powers unexpectedly. In the first book, the women did not know each other so there is time spent building those relationships.

In this book, the relationships are built and we spend more time focusing on Vivian. She is 42 years old and single...and pregnant. The pregnancy is something she did on her own because she wanted a baby and felt her timeline for that was getting a little too close.

I really did like the book. My favorite thing, and this is a continuation from the first book is the relationship of Dean and Sergio and their daughters (And I guess Julia should be included in that) It just seems like they are the funnest (is that even a word? Well, I making it one) people in the universe and have such an inclusive household with their Sunday dinners and roaming alpaca's. I want them as friends...seriously.

Now, this book focuses on Vivian, but honestly, there is not a lot of focus on her power, which is empathy. Honestly, it was easy to forget she even had it. It focused more on her pregnancy and her relationship with Richard. And, of course, there were the murders.

I did like this book. I will admit to liking the first book more, but I am still looking forward to reading the next book about Evy.

With thanks to Netgalley and Recurve Press for my ARC.

Vivian, Julia and Evy are back, and this time the murder they’re trying to solve is closer to home after Vivian’s mother sees a murder occurring on the thirteenth tee - except there’s no body, so no crime.

Meanwhile, Vivian’s pregnancy is progressing and why is it only now that she’s met the perfect man?

Another excellent read by Elizabeth Hunter, who has provided a paranormal murder mystery with a touch of spice. Reading Mirror Obscure is like visiting with friends you haven’t seen for a while; you really want to know what they’ve been getting up to and how they are, and you’re happy to join them in whatever they have planned.

I’m looking forward to reading the next book since I love this series. Enjoy!

I'm really loving this series! Vivian and the girls are fabulous. And I really enjoyed Richard this go around. The entire cast of characters is what makes these books so great. There's plenty of humor mixed in with mystery. I was sucked into this one. It had plenty of twists and a few jaw dropping moments. The romance was sexy and sweet. I really enjoy having an older cast of characters who have seemingly just hit their prime. It makes it completely relatable even though it's paranormal fiction. Another great read.

I have yet to be disappointed by anything Elizabeth Hunter writes and Mirror Obscure is no exception, with its humor, adventure and relationships captivating me at every turn.

Mirror Obscure is the second book in Elizabeth Hunter’s newest PWF (paranormal women’s fiction) trilogy, Vista del Lírio.

Vivian and Richard get their story told and amongst family, a pregnancy, humor, car chases and murder, we get the beginning of a sweet love story. I absolutely loves these two as couple and I am so hopeful for their little family.

The mystery is fascinating and the dangers very real, so the three friends have quite an uphill to battle. I don’t want to spoil the story at all, but I had a lot of fun and was quite nervous for the trio.

I am loving the Vista del Lírio series and can’t wait for the final book, Trouble Play.
