Product Description
Emily has just turned fifteen when her family relocates from New York to San Francisco. She isn’t thrilled when they move in with her uncle to save money, but she is determined to cope. Emily’s new life, however, quickly spirals out of control when her uncle turns out to be a creep, she can’t make any new friends, and her parents take her to a psychologist when she insists that voices are coming from the mirrors, voices only she can hear.
One of those voices belongs to a boy named Tyler. Emily feels drawn to him and decides to help, even after she discovers that her uncle imprisoned Tyler in the mirror. The decision sets her on a path of self-discovery, with new-found powers, a dark family secret, a cute boy she’s crazy about, parents who think she’s gone bonkers, and an uncle who wants to destroy her.
Emily must find her inner strength before all her troubles come crashing down on her.
For readers 12+, and young adults of all ages.

Review:
By Alex Canton-Dutari
This is a book that fits into a nice read while the rain falls outside. But it was not raining while I read it and I enjoyed it just the same.
I found the plot to be very original -- traveling through mirrors -- with some uncomplicated magic included.
I liked the way the author handled the main character's age and weaved a rather unusual but believable love story.
There is a trend to write by word count. I have the impression that it was not considered in this work, and it is so much better for it -- no unnecessary material was added.
As this is a series, I am looking forward to reading the next segment.
