"Terrific one sitting second chance at love psychological thriller"

Fourteen years ago clairvoyant Gwen Nicholson-Nelson was pregnant when her husband a NASCAR Circuit champion died. Each year since Tommie's death, Milwaukee based small press A Star is Born Biographies asks Gwen for permission to write a biography about her late spouse. Through her gift, Gwen never even opens their letter; her daughter Allison watches her throw it out.

Gwen works as a counselor with troubled teenage boys. Her current client, Kyle, is in danger from the clairvoyant Other that has taken control of his mind and influencing his actions. The Other is more powerful than Gwen is with the skill to conceal or reveal to the latter at will.

Allison convinces her mother to allow the writing of the biography of her father, but Gwen agrees only if author Dylan Mitchell writes the book. Having never forgotten his one night with Gwen before she married, widower Dylan accepts the assignment hoping for a second chance; he and his teenage daughter Randa move into Gwen's mansion to work on the biography. Soon the Other enters Randa's mind with only Gwen to keep her safe.

Mirror rorriM is a terrific one sitting second chance at love psychological thriller that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats anticipating a final confrontation. The key to the romance and to the psychological kinetic suspense is the cast. Readers fully understand what has and does motivate Dylan and Gwen, and to a lesser degree the Other, teens, family members, a friend, and the late Tommie without slowing down the action-packed plot. Karen Wiesner gets inside the minds of her audience with the fabulous book 3 of the Wounded Warrior series (see RELUCTANT HEARTS and WAITING FOR AN ECLIPSE).
