The Dark Side of the MirrorAuthor:R L AustinPublished By:R L austinDate Published: 9/25/2011Pages:157Recommended Age: anyReviewed By: Gerald L. Black author of Chronicles of the Sentient Sword Vol.1Rating: 4Purchased from Amazon for KindleSummary:Emily is forced to move with her parents from New York to San Francisco. When they arrive at her uncle's house he forces them to agree to a set of archaic rules-no electronics, she has to wear dresses. And she is not allowed into his study. Wandering around the house, she begins to hear voices coming from the many mirrors in the house. Thinking she is crazy, her parents send her to a therapist, so she pretends to not hear the voices. Soon, she befriends a boy that has been trapped inside the mirror in a hallway. That is where her adventure really begins. She finds her uncle has a dark agenda and attempts to thwart his plans with her new friend Tyler-fresh from the mirror.Gerald L. Black's Thoughts:A well written story. It kept me interested and turning the pages at a rapid pace. The plot was unique and the pace was perfect. Emily proves to be your typical outcast character and Tyler is a good humored boy; exactly what she needs to feel at home in her new surroundings. Near the end, the editing seemed to fall off a bit, but it didn't detract from the story.I am looking forward to reading the next installment.Parents:Language: mild, two uses of an expletiveAdult Content: minimalViolence:mild
