The Mirror (The Lost Bride Trilogy, #2)

The Mirror (The Lost Bride Trilogy, #2)The Mirror by Nora Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The plot didn't advance much, but we got lots of character development and new relationships. Sonya got the account with Ryder even though her ex-fiance did his best to sabotage her. As a result, he was fired. Cleo and Owen finally get together, and Owen finishes her boat. The book ends with Cleo, her cat Pye, Sonya, and her dog Yoda going for a sail on the newly finished boat.

We do discover more of the story behind the curse. The curse had nothing to do with love; it was all about greed and the desire to be mistress of the manor.

Clover and the other ghost show themselves more.
