Six months after Alice witnessed Trent break into her antique store and die on the floor, business has been strangely calm—aside from the ghosts, her watchful neighbor Dahlia, and David, the reaper who lingers nearby with his hellhound, Scorch.
When a promising estate sale in nearby Gainesville draws Alice and Dahlia in, what should have been a routine inventory run takes a dark turn. Among the antiques are objects tied to forbidden rituals—items capable of pulling the dead back into the living world.
Soon after, another body appears in Alice’s shop.
With the blood moon approaching, Alice and Dahlia uncover the truth: the powerful Gallant family has been quietly continuing a deadly tradition—and Alice may be the final piece they need to complete it.
If they fail to stop the ritual, the dead won’t be the only ones rising… and they may not survive to see the aftermath.
If you enjoy cozy mysteries infused with supernatural elements and intriguing antique items, "Cursed Mirror" offers a perfect blend. The story’s compelling narrative about Alice and Dahlia's investigation into haunted antiques and forbidden rituals creates a uniquely atmospheric experience. As a fan of mystery novels, I appreciated how the author uses religious aspects and occult themes to enrich the plot, making the stakes feel personal and urgent. The inclusion of a reaper character and hellhound adds a dark fantasy touch that balances the cozy setting with suspense. The dynamic between midlife protagonists breaking typical genre stereotypes is refreshing and relatable for readers seeking depth alongside suspense. The depiction of antiques as almost characters themselves brings an authentic feel—especially the focus on items tied to forbidden rituals, which stirs curiosity about their origins and powers. The upcoming estate sale scene promises tension and eerie discoveries that elevate the mystery beyond a usual detective narrative. I also found the foreshadowing around the blood moon and the Gallant family’s deadly tradition fascinating. It cleverly ties the supernatural and human conflicts, making the unfolding threat more immersive. The mention of a cedar trunk from the OCR content hints at hidden secrets and the weight of the past impacting the present, enhancing the intrigue. Overall, "Cursed Mirror" is a gripping story for lovers of ghost stories, antiques, and cozy mysteries with a dark twist. It’s a must-read if you like suspense entwined with mystical heritage and midlife protagonists facing extraordinary challenges.
