“I don’t like the way the reflection in my bedroom mirror judges me. I try not to look at her too closely…”

I was really happy with how this book turned out. It was an intense genre-blend that hooked me from the start. We follow Hannah McCulley, a reformed rebellious girl now in a strict private school, as she begins to encounter strange occurrences with no memories of doing them. Mirror Me is a powerful story of forgiveness that takes you on an intensely psychological ride.

Things I Liked
The mystery and uneasiness of the story is established very early on, and clearly sets a tone for the story. There’s this intense frenzy where you don’t really know what’s happening or what you can trust that makes for a very addicting read.

This book is a bit of a genre-blend of a few things. I loved that we got to see really intense psychological thriller elements blended with paranormal fantasy, all set in a private school. It kept the story really engaging.

I really loved Cole and thought he was such a genuine person. He was just so nice and sweet and positive. And the romance with Hannah was all kinds of adorable, but it never detracted from Hannah’s growth or journey.

Things I Didn’t Like
I wasn’t the biggest fan of some of the supporting characters. I guess I just wasn’t invested enough in their relationship with Hannah to connect to them personally. But I did like that the supporting characters felt like their own people, they had lives and passions and roles outside of their relationship to Hannah.

I feel like it too long for some key elements to be established in the story. While I ADORED the psychological elements, the paranormal ones weren’t really established until just past the halfway point. I also felt like it took way too long for Hannah’s past with Nikki to be revealed.

This was a really quick, but addicting read that morphed characters, suspense, and romance beautifully. I read this book in one sitting and I didn’t want to put it down. Mirror Me is a fantastic read that keeps you guessing.

I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
