Enjoyed the first book in this series and glad I came back for the second. I hope that the third is just as good. I want to know what happens to our characters and how the souls in the house find their happiness.

I was so excited to get the ARC for this book, but whoa....I struggled to finish it.

Very repetitive and just drug on for far too long.

Another Nora Roberts book in another series. It was very suspenseful. I do like the characters but It just seems to far fetched. I know there's one more left and I'll be reading it as I like to finish series that I start. Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy. #TheMirror #NetGalley

The Mirror is the second book in Author Nora Roberts The Lost Bride trilogy. I enjoyed the first book, Inheritance. Sonya inherits an old mansion from an uncle she didn't know she had. The mansion is said to be cursed by an old witch, who now haunts the house, killing a bride every generation on her wedding day and collecting their wedding rings. I've enjoyed both books. They are spooky without being gruesome or demonic. I am eagerly awaiting the third novel in the series.

Book two of The Lost Bride Trilogy brings more answers and stronger connections to her family ghosts, but also more mystery and danger for Sonya MacTavish as she works to build her life in the heavily haunted Poole Manor. 3.75 🌟s

The Mirror picks up right where book one left off and immediately immerses us back into the story. As true to most second books in true-to-form trilogies, not much is resolved in this book. It expands and builds in areas, but continues on with much of the same as book one. Many of Roberts’ trilogies tend to have a definite beginning, middle, and end in that each one could be its own story and some aspect of the plot - a minor point, establishment of a romance, something- is resolved, it just might be more open-ended then the reader would like. This trilogy is different from that style. I did still thoroughly enjoy reading The Mirror as I love Roberts’ writing style- she does a fabulous job of making the story not only about moving the plot and character growth but also just about life as a whole. I love being immersed in not only the characters’ interaction with the plot but also the details of how they are living their lives while everything else is occurring. I do wish this particular novel had some more ‘big’ moments but I still look forward to reading book three and seeing how it is all wrapped up!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC! Nora Roberts is the GOAT for a reason, I love this series so much

This was a great story about a woman inheriting an eerie mansion and going back in time. It held my attention from start to finish and was better than the first. I can’t wait to read the next in the series. Thanks NetGalley and St. Martins Press for the chance to read this book!

This is a second book in the Lost Bride Trilogy. I enjoy this paranormal series . Thank you to the publisher, to Net Galley and to the author. My review opinions are my own.

This is a fun paranormal read that kept this reader turning pages into the night. I loved the main character and her adventures beyond current time.. The author is masterful at engaging the reader with vivid characters . I highly recommend this series for your reading enjoyment for fans of paranormal writing. A fun read that is engaging from beginning to conclusion.

I started this book just minutes after I finished book one of the trilogy. Sonya & her friends continue to learn more about the manor, the mirror, & its ghostly residents.
I appreciate how this well-written story has made me care about these characters, their relationships, their pets, & where they all end up. I’m looking forward to seeing how they puzzle out the method to fight off the evil curse & get the rings. November can’t come soon enough for me!
Thanks to the author & publisher for allowing me to read a copy via NetGalley. I’m sure I’ll read it again before book three releases.

The Mirror was a solid follow-up in the Lost Bride Trilogy, but it didn’t quite match the suspense and charm of The Inheritance. The pacing dragged with too much focus on day-to-day routines, and the main plot with Hester Dobbs felt repetitive. That said, the animals were a delight, and the family history added nice depth. I’ll still continue the series—just hoping for more momentum in the next book.

This is the second one in the series, I received both from netgalley, I want to thank them & the publisher for this opportunity to read these. This second novel had me wanting more for Sasha, had me wanting to go through “The Mirror” and become Sasha. I love Nora Roberts Writing style. it feels like I’m there and every detail is happening to me. In this case I’m in a haunted mansion, with my friend. Just don’t give me the curse that comes with it…

The Mirror by Nora Roberts

Diving into The Mirror, the second book of Nora Roberts’ The Lost Bride Trilogy, felt like stepping into a world where past and present beautifully collide. Roberts once again delivers her trademark blend of romance, suspense, and just the right touch of mystery—this time with an enchanting twist involving a mirror that holds secrets beyond imagination.

What really drew me in was how deeply personal the story feels. The heroine’s journey to uncover the truth about her family’s past is gripping and emotionally charged, and the way Roberts weaves folklore and history into the narrative added layers of magic and intrigue I didn’t expect but absolutely loved. The romance feels authentic, with sparks that ignite gradually, making every moment between the leads feel earned and meaningful.

Nora Roberts’ writing is as warm and immersive as ever, painting vivid settings that pulled me right into the story. I appreciated the balance of tension, emotional depth, and the slow-burning connection between the main characters. It’s a book that kept me turning pages late into the night.

The Mirror is perfect for anyone who loves a romantic story with a hint of mystery and a touch of the supernatural. If you’re a fan of Roberts’ ability to create complex characters and heartfelt love stories, this one won’t disappoint.

Picked right off from The Inheritance. I read it in one sitting--no way was I stopping until I knew more about the seven rings. I cannot WAIT to read the third installment and finally see what happens!

As usual Nora Roberts comes through with a great sequel. I love her trilogies and I cannot wait to see how this one ends. The Mirror continues Sonya's story with the haunted manor. Now Cleo, Trey and Owen are fully involved with the mystery/hauntings. Sonya is still the main person going through the mirror and seeing the past in her dreams. She and Cleo are settling in more and more at the manor - making it theirs and irritating Hester Dobbs. I also like that Nora brings in Brandon and his pettiness, I want Sonya to be able to kick his butt in the next book.

I hadn't had a chance to read this, and I just loved it. I can't wait to read the new one. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

The Mirror was an achingly slow burn read, chock full of creepy goodness and absolutely did not disappoint! So grateful to SMP for the opportunity!

I stretched this out as long as I could and it was worth it! I know there is a lot of ghosts and they are very interactive that made me think it was impossible but that did not detract from the plot. We have Trey and Sonya as our newest in love couple and of course Cleo and Owen the favorite cousin. These 4 navigate the spirits, build their businesses and expand on more history

An excellent read that I can’t wait for the third book

I enjoy Nora Roberts books. She’s one of my favorite authors and I truly enjoyed this book.

I loved the twist and turns and I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for the next book.

The Mirror series is one of my favorite by Nora Roberts. I really like the main four characters: Sonya, Trey, Cleo and Owen. My favorite ghost is Clover. The music comments are funny. Nora is a great storyteller. She describes the setting without making it obvious that she's doing it. She intertwines secondary characters flawlessly into the main four lives. Love the addition of the cat. I can't wait to see what happens in the third book.

Cannot put down-able. I know this is not proper grammar but how fun is this book!? I plowed through it instead of cleaning my house and I was so glad I did as it led to the second book in the series.

Our heroine is relatable and real. She struggles with life’s heady choices and takes you on a journey of self discovery. She is inspiring as well as charismatic.

I prefer not do reiterate the story, as Each reader needs to find their own definition.

I will highly recommend this book to all readers.
