Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. HTML:

Shadowvale isn't your typical small town America. The sun never shines, the gates decide who enters, magic abounds, and every resident bears some kind of curse.

For Isadora Graham, Shadowvale seems like a dream come true. A safe haven where she can hide from the darkness that lives within her, and hopefully, keep everyone else from finding out about it too. She needs this kind of place where she'll be left alone. Where no one will realize who she really is.

Dr. Henry Jekyll, or rather a monstrous part of him, makes Shadowvale a more dangerous place for everyone, no matter how hard he tries to stop that side of himself from emerging. He's doing everything in his power to control it, but control is hard, and solutions don't come easy. Fortunately, the town understands he needs to be left alone.

Until somehow things go wrong, and he gets a neighbor. Izzy is incredibly nice and for her own safety, Henry knows he has to tell her what everyone else already knows. That he's a monster. But he only ends up shocking her and turning her against him. Then another disturbing encounter makes her understand he was telling the truth, and that they are so very much alike.

When they join forces, their collaboration feels like a match made in heaven. Except for the part where the town is being targeted. And Izzy seems like the one causing all the trouble.

Can Henry battle his own demons in time to save Izzy? Or will the monster in the mirror be the ruin of them both? Only time, and love, will tell.

Monster in the Mirror by Kristen Painter
Shadowvale series #6. Paranormal romance. Closed door.
Izzy moved to Shadowvale after finding an apartment on the town website. Sight unseen. She needed to move quickly before her prior neighbors found out about her brother. The apartment is minimally furnished and she meets her nice looking, doctor, neighbor as he helps her unload her car. Izzy is happy with her move until she sees a massive tiger walking down the middle of the street and finds out the doctor is none other than cursed Dr Henry Jekyll and Edgar Hyde. What kind of a town has she moved into?

Izzy has a lot to deal with from the town of all kinds of interesting people, to her neighbor, and her own blooming powers. She handles it all impressively well. Sure, she freaks out a little over the loose tiger but everything from there is almost blasé. Not sure what I’d do it I found out I was in the home of vampires.

Entertaining and a bit humorous although there is a bit of drama and mystery.

🎧 I did a second read of this book via audiobook narrated by B J Harrison who does the full series. This format adds a bit more drama to the text making clear Izzy’s surprise at the Tiger for instance. His voice is deep and clear and much better on the male side of the characters than female. He does make the story compelling.
I listened to this at 1.6 which a smidge faster than I prefer but is necessary IMO for this narrator. ( )
