What a wonderful book! Expertly constructed and involves a unique plot. I like it that the book involves complex mystery. Fans of supernatural thrillers and mysteries will really like it. As for me, I'll pass it on; I'm not a fan of this genre. Otherwise congrats on the BOTD!

The idea of a paranormal characteristic coupled up with mirrors would, in my opinion, provide an impressive storyline for a well-developed plot. Thank you for your analysis.

The Mirrors by E F Townsend is such an amazing thriller book. I do love reading books that have anything to do with supernatural content. The dilemma in it is a plus motivating factor. I don't mind grabbing a copy and going through it. Congratulations on the BOTD. Great review!
Books are beautiful.

An interesting complex mystery book "The Mirrors" by E F Townsend, which focuses on
Tori, who is shocked to find one of her renter of her historical mansion is full of mirrors because the tenant was investigating paranormal energies. The book appears quite appealing to me.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Loved your review! The book sounds quite unique and very engaging. Unfortunately, I'm not this much into spooky stories and supernatural mysteries.

Thank you for your honest and detailed review. I like mystery books and thrillers but I tend to steer away from scary books; however, your review has made me rethink that. This sounds like it could be a really engaging mystery and I will be adding it to my to-read list.

Illuminating review. The book seems like a well thought out horror in a classic sense, but is not my type of thing.

At the end of the day, I enjoyed this book so much that I have to give it 4 out of 4 stars. I finished it in just a few days, and while I think the term "page-turner" is woefully overused, if there ever was a book that deserved the moniker, this is it. If you have even a passing interest in supernatural thrillers and mysteries, this is a great book for you, as long as you aren't too easily spooked. I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for Townsend's future work.
You make a very interesting point. I think I'm guilty of calling too many books page-turners, probably because I get easily invested in most stories. But I love a good mystery with a hint of supernatural!
This is an excellently written review. Congratulations!
