Too bad this is out of print! it's a wonderful follow-up to Image!, Jun 22 2010
By Kris "dreaming" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Reflection (Paperback)
Wow. Even better then Image.I was so please to pick this up and to see how the story of the mirror concludes. It was wonderful to see the further development of some of the characters too.
The story picks up where it left off - Manny, is wheelchair bound after the accident at the end of Image paralyzes her. Her family is all dead and she has hired live-in help. The trouble here starts when a mysterious man shows up looking for the mirror.
The imagery is again incredible. While this was a little more gory then the first, this was well worth the read. Like with the first, we get a parallel story to follow in the mirror's history; about a nasty countess who loved to sacrifice young ladies to the mirror in her attempt to stay young. It was creepy and gross and I loved every second of it. It was so well written that I often forgot I was reading a horror story and them wham! The scary stuff hit me again.
It was wonderful to see the same police detective and her niece. Although, that was the one part that I sort of saw coming; I knew the niece had bigger ties to the overall story. It was too convenient the way Image ended otherwise. The murders and the small chapters where the mirror is the narrator were even better then in Image. The chapter with the murders felt more important to the story and were awfully gory and erotic at the same time.
It was nice to learn the history of the mirror and where the power came from. Ujvary and his tie to the mirror and therefore the story was interesting and made for a great ending. And while time travel normally totally fries my brain, the way Mr. Scott worked that in, through the astral plane and with a character that is technically already dead - well, it was wonderfully done. It wasn't done in a manner so that I felt that I needed to figure it out or try to understand it - and therefore, I was able to accept it into the story line so much better and easily.
I had forgotten how much fun reading stuff in this genre could be. This is definitely a must if you read Image - and, any fans of creepy horror stories must read both!
Listmania!
