I got "Dark Side of the Mirror" for review from R.L. I really enjoyed this story. The concept is original and well executed. I love the house in the story; it's creepy and full of adventurous possibilities. I want to live in this house. I like Emily's character. She's at a teen age where she's still innocent yet inquisitive. She finds pleasure in a simple kiss and holding hands with Tyler, which is a nice break from all the horny teen love triangle stories in circulation. Tyler's character is much the same; innocent around girls and yet your typical boy. I immediately took a dislike to Emily's Uncle Mansel. He's a truly insane, power-hungry character. In the beginning he had me constantly guessing what he was up to. I enjoyed all the magical objects in the story as well. It was fun trying to figure them out before the characters. The only thing I didn't like was that there wasn't enough back story. I wanted to know more about Emily's grandmother and relatives. I give "Dark Side of the Mirror" 4/5 stars. This story grabbed me from the start and had questions racing through my mind. I hope this is the first book in a series because I want more!!!
