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.
As someone who loves cozy mysteries and has a particular fascination with antiques, I found the concept of cursed and mysterious items especially intriguing in this story. The intersection of antiques with religious aspects and forbidden rituals adds layers of suspense that deepen the typical mystery plot. I’ve often visited estate sales and antique shops, and the idea that some objects could hold powerful, supernatural secrets only elevates the excitement and eeriness. The inclusion of ghosts and a reaper figure with a hellhound brings a unique supernatural element that blends well with the cozy mystery genre. It reminds me of times when I’ve felt an inexplicable chill in antique shops, as if the items carry the energy of past owners. This story’s setting also taps into the mythos surrounding blood moons and dark family traditions, which adds an extra level of urgency and danger. What stood out to me was the focus on midlife characters navigating these extraordinary events. It’s refreshing to see protagonists dealing with complex mysteries while also reflecting on life’s changes, making the story relatable to readers beyond just the thrilling plot. For those who enjoy mysteries with an eerie atmosphere, strong character dynamics, and the thrill of forbidden rituals, this series promises a compelling journey. It’s perfect for fans of supernatural elements mixed with traditional detective work, antiques, and ghostly encounters. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of secrets an old mirror or a dusty relic might harbor, ‘Cursed Mirror’ offers a gripping exploration into these themes.
