It took me awhile to get into it honestly but once I did, I really enjoyed it! But yeah...weird. Read it with an open mind and you could be surprised. The book starts off with a young boy getting possessed (for lack of a better word) by something called The Prophet. Be ready to not hear about this boy for several chapters. As I reading an advanced copy with no page numbers, I believe I read about 20% of the book before he reappeared again. Your main character is Jacqueline, a 15 year old foster girl with a boy she talks to who lives in her compact. See..weird. The boy’s name is Mal and he is the one good thing in her life as she has moved between homes in her 5 years in foster care. Her mother died when she was little then her father was put to death because he was convicted of killing over 300 people in a church fire. As she had no family, she landed in foster care. At 15, an Aunt Mitzy shows up at her current home to claim her. This is when things all seem to change. She moves to a new town where she finally makes some friends and even gets feelings for a boy (who ended up being not so good). Life seems to be heading in the right direction. But there is a force at work that needs Jacqueline. She is the key. And both the sides of good and evil are fighting for her. This book is just part one of a series (I believe I read on the author’s twitter it would be 4 books) and it ends that way, pretty unresolved but in a good way. I want to know what happens next. I “called” a twist (if one could call it that) but more towards the end and not right off the bat which is a cool change. Sometimes figuring things out early doesn’t lead to easy reading. Boy in the Mirror is part Exorcist, part Watcher in the Woods (one scene in particular had me thinking of that movie), part every book/movie where good and evil wage war. What side do you chose? What side is right? What side is really the evil side? Hopefully all questions that will be answered in the coming sequels. I’m glad I got the chance to read this book and I’m glad I gave it a chance, not giving up when it seemed too weird to try. I recommend you give it a try. If sci-fi/horror are your kinds of work, this book is probably up your ally. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Fifteen-year-old Jacqueline Talbot's boyfriend Mal lives in the mirror of her makeup case. There's never been anything normal about Jacqueline; not during her time in foster care, and certainly not in her new hometown of Mercy Hills.With rumors of actual monsters in the woods, the popular kids taking an unhealthy interest in her, and the revealing of her own dark past, all Jacqueline wants to do is run away forever with Mal. Too bad he's trapped in the mirror.But when she learns the ancient forces of the town want to destroy everything she loves, the race is on to free the boy in the mirror, because he just might be the only one who knows how to stop them.

This had me on the edge of my seat. The twists and turns threw me for a loop. I ended up finishing this in one night I couldn’t put it down. ( )
