advantage of this auspicious night. During the ceremony, however, something goes terribly wrong. One visitor falls into a mysterious coma, and another disappears. Hannah, with the help of her aunt and friends (both human and cat), must solve the puzzle before it’s too late.

This was a quick, fun read. Like the previous book in the series, “The Dream Haunters,” this book would make for a great fall vacation read or listen. The setting is cozy and nostalgic. The characters, friendly and wise. The plot begins with high-stakes and the tension that comes with searching the grounds of a manor house in a storm.

Really, my only minor issue with this book is the lack of urgency regarding the conflict once the plot kicks off. With one person in a mysterious coma and another missing, the other characters seem to go about their day as if nothing is amiss. They do some research and meet to discuss the issue, but they also go to perform their regular gig in the piano bar and have naps. A little more tension in the plot throughout would have been more believable.

I was happy to see the narrator, Pearl Hewitt, return for this audiobook. Her different approaches to the various characters are entertaining and believable.

Like the first installment, “The Dream Mirrors” is a quick, fun read that fans of witches and cozies will thoroughly enjoy. I’m looking forward to the next installment, “The Dream Dimensions” By Megan Mary, later this year.

I reviewed the first installment of this series last year, and you can read that review here: https://cbcalsing.blogspot.com/2024/10/a-review-of-megan-marys-dream-haunters.html

I received this audiobook from NetGalley.

There were so many good lines in this book. This story used magic to make the reader reflect on their own real life experiences like self doubt. It really emphasizes self reflection while keeping you interested with the magic and mystery of the story.

I was very intrigued by the magic aspect and the dream journal.

I think me not reading/listening to the first two books didn’t hinder my reading journey but would’ve helped with characters and more of a generalized understanding of the magic.

Thank you to NetGalley and Inner Realms publishing for letting me listen to this audiobook!

After finishing The Dream Haunters, the first book in the Witches of Maple Hollow series, I was eager to dive back into the story. Set years later, Hannah returns to Maple Hollow in search of her aunt Jewelia, who vanished during a storm. The arrival of the Dark One, the Illusionix, through the 9-9-9 portal disrupts everything, paralyzing a guest named Jezebelle and leading to the mysterious disappearance of their friend Morgan. With reversal magic failing, Hannah and Jewelia must solve the mirror portal mystery, defeat the Illusionix, revive Jezebelle, and find Morgan before it's too late.
Megan Mary's writing continues to shine with rich descriptions and well-developed characters that add depth to the story. A standout quote from Jewelia, “We must never doubt our ability to effect change, while also remembering that each soul has its own path to walk,” perfectly encapsulates the book's themes. For a captivating exploration of human nature and relationships through a fantastical lens, be sure to read this book after The Dream Haunters!

Skye Manor is hosting a dinner party when one of the guests goes missing. She is found in a coma and then another guest disappears. What is going on and can things be resolved? Hanna and her aunt Jewelia will use their animals spirit guides and the mirrors to unravel the mysteries. A dream diary will be important.

Well written and narrated fantasy novel (I listened to the audiobook). Good characters in this mystical novel. Lives plod on as research is undertaken to find out what is going on.

Mystical and meta-physics fictional fantasy story. I read book one, but listened to book two as an audiobook. I preferred book two more, maybe partly due to actually liking the audiobook format more. If you can read/listen to book one first, this book follows on from that with the same style, characters and cats. Megan Mary’s story telling involves letting us listen to the characters thoughts, and this was more enjoyable for me in narrated form. As for the story Hannah has settled into life on the Island. A dinner party is planned but soon things go awry. Thank you to Inner Realms Publishing and NetGalley for the audio ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

Book 2 in the series sees more mystery, more magical powers and a lot of portals. If you love witchy vibes reminiscent of Charmed and Sabrina, I can only recommend this series. It’s a fun read and it was a joy exploring the powers of our FMC Hannah. Thru mirrors, portals and dreams she needs to find her way to solve the mystery of her friend that goes missing.
An abundance of talking cats, is an added bonus 🐈‍⬛🐈😻
The narrator lends an enjoyable tone to the audiobook, which definitely helps set the mood.

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the eARC

I quite enjoyed this as an audiobook! The narrator did a fantastic job I would love to listen to more audiobooks by her.

This is the 2nd in a series and continued the mystery at Skye Manor. I liked that it quickly had me hooked with people going missing and some even falling into a mysterious coma. I also really liked the relationship between her and her aunt as well as how the author described the world and brought it to life. It did a good job having the character really examine herself, her soul, and her dreams which brings about self-reflection when reading. I would have liked for there to be a bit more of a sense of urgency throughout when the situation seemed quite dire.

This would be a great fall read filled with cemeteries, witches, and cats!

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the ARC. Opinions are my own.

This author writes a very cute and cozy mystery. The world is unique, without a hefty book filled with detailed world building. The story she tells is right to the point with enough to make you connect with the characters, and I especially enjoyed the addition of the animal friends. If you are looking for a short, cozy read that doesn’t require any heavy brain work and you’d like to just sit back and enjoy then this is a great series to pick up.

I love this book. It was a fun time, and I love the fantasy elements. The characters were so fun, and I got listening to this book specifically because the narrator was great. I can’t wait to read more for this author! Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this book early!

ARC Review!!! 5/5 stars

The Dream Mirrors is another glimpse into the story of Hannah and her life on the island of Maple Hollow and how she’s embracing her powers! We get more aspects of her connecting with her family background/legacy. I loved to get more information on Spiritual Awakening, Astrology and more Metaphysical themes!

Thank you so much to Megan Mary, and Inner Realms Publishing for the opportunity to read and review an early copy of this story!

Loved the concept and unique take on dreams, but I wished it went a little deeper. Still worth checking out if you're into intuitive dreamwork.

The Dream Mirrors is a very creative book with wonderful descriptions. I listened to the audio. Loved the narrator, who brought the story to life even more. I slowed down with reading as it had a little too many filter words and stage directions for my personal taste. However, a very creative story filled with wonderful, imaginative details.

**Review: *The Dream Mirrors* by Megan Mary**

Solid 3.5 to 4 stars from me! *The Dream Mirrors* turned out to be a surprisingly immersive and engaging listen. I hadn’t read the first book in the series, but once I got past the first couple of chapters, I was fully caught up and deeply invested in the story. Megan Mary does a wonderful job crafting a vivid, dreamy world that pulled me in, whether I was working, doing chores, or simply relaxing.

The world-building was one of the standout aspects — rich, flowing, and easy to sink into. The narration in the audiobook truly enhanced the experience for me. The pacing, tone, and emotion brought the story to life in a way that reading alone might not have done. It felt like slipping into another reality while going about my day, and that’s exactly what I love about well-done audiobooks.

Even without reading the first book, I never felt lost, which speaks volumes about the storytelling. I’d definitely recommend it, especially if you enjoy surreal, emotionally layered narratives and are open to starting a series a bit out of order. I’m curious to go back and read the first one now!
