The Mirror: Shattered Midnight is the second novel in the innovative four-book fairy-tale series written by Julie C. Dao, Dhonielle Clayton, J.C. Cervantes, and L. L. McKinney, following one family over several generations, and the curse that plagues it.

Zora Broussard has arrived in New Orleans with not much more than a bag of clothes, a beautiful voice, and a pair of enchanted red shoes. Running from a tragic accident caused by her magic, Zora wants nothing more than to blend in, as well as to avoid her overbearing aunt and mean-spirited cousins. Music becomes Zora’s only means of escape, yet she wonders if she should give it all up to remove the powers that make her a target, especially as a Black woman in the South.

But when Zora gets the chance to perform in a prominent jazz club, she meets a sweet white pianist named Phillip with magic of his own, including a strange mirror that foretells their future together. Falling into a forbidden love, Zora and Phillip must keep their relationship a secret. And soon the two discover the complicated connection between their respective families, a connection that could lead to catastrophe for them both. In the era of segregation and speakeasies, Zora must change her destiny and fight for the one she loves . . . or risk losing everything.

REVIEW

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

 

I must admit that I did not read book one in this series before I read this one, but I was able to follow along with no problems. I am interested in back tracking to book one now though as they are interconnected filling in some back story of the mirror in this one. We meet Zora who had to flee her home in NYC after a horrid accident she caused in order to not be found out. She gets sent to her Aunt in New Orleans who leads a hugely different lifestyle then she is used to. Add in the fact that this takes place back in the 1920s when segregation was the norm and she is colored. While trying to find a way to be somewhat happy she meets a handsome young man who just happens to be white making it almost impossible for them to be together. Add is some magic, danger, and family drama to get a story that will keep you hooked from page one all the way to the end which totally surprised me. I will have to give further books in this series a shot to see how this all plays out in the end. Quite the enjoyable read for fans of historical supernatural romances. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
