About This Book

4.2 • 5

A house that keeps its secrets. A mirror that doesn’t reflect the truth. A murder that defies logic.

When a young woman vanishes inside a crumbling estate, Detective Eliza Harrow is called to investigate—but what she finds is far stranger than a missing person. The house is steeped in cold whispers, and at its heart stands a mirror that seems to watch her every move.

Then a body appears. But the wounds don’t match any known weapon… and the killer might not be human.

Was it the reclusive housekeeper? The elusive owner? Or something much older, buried deep in the bones of the house itself?

Step into a chilling paranormal murder mystery where nothing is what it seems—and the house may have a mind of its own.

I think the story and characters could have been more fleshed out, but it was still a fun read. There’s a lot of shatte…

This was a great short horror story that I was able to fly through. The characters are great, though, I do think there should have been a little more depth to them. I know with short stories that can be a little hard. I loved the paranormal aspect to the story and the twists that the story took.…
