Synopsis (Goodreads):
Trude Burgess only has eyes for one person.Thoughts on Mirror, Mirror: Okay. OKAY. We have a little cursed mirror, evil stepmother thing going on here and I am SO here for it. Just to be clear, though, Trude isn't evil. She adores Albie like she's her own and does her best for her even when things start getting hairy.
Her entire life, she never loved anyone other than Viggo Calder. She watched as he courted the perfect lady, wooed and won her. And then...he lost that ideal love. Trude married him anyway...because his little girl needed a mother. And she would do anything to prove that her love is enough to make up for that tragic loss.
Viggo Calder has never truly seen her.
Though he married for convenience, his heart remains icy and untouched. He made the sacrifice for his daughter, but he spends his nights drinking and mourning. His new wife is sensitive and difficult, and sometimes he regrets ever marrying her at all. If only he could be with his beloved first wife again...
When a magic mirror is involved, they must both be careful with their wishes...
But let's back up a bit...Trude has loved Viggo FOREVER. He's it for her, so she was a teeny bit heartbroken when he married another woman and moved away from their small village. Then tragedy strikes and Trude steps in to become Viggo's wife and the mother of his young daughter. While she doesn't expect to be the love of his life (seeing as he had loved his first wife), she's determined to enjoy the life they can build together.
Except...things are weird at Casa Calder. Viggo swings hot and cold with her and Albie tells stories about her deceased mother that worry Trude to the bone. Then the mirror arrives - a gift from a dead woman - and things turn downright dark.
A few familiar faces, a twisted scheme that goes back years, heartache, happiness, and a whole lot of darkness hiding in the corners. *thumbs up*
