Owen Sweetwater, a hunter-talent, doesn't know what to expect when he follows "mirror reader" Virginia Dean to the mansion that night. Thinking to discredit her as a fraud, Owen instead has to rescue Virginia from a locked, mirrored room after she awakens next to a dead body with blood on her hands. Instinctively knowing she's being framed for the murder, Owen whisks her away to safety before the authorities arrive. Now he has to figure out why she's been targeted -- and by whom.

Owen is currently conducting an investigation for Jones & Jones, Arcane Society's new psychical investigation agency. Since all the Sweetwater men are hunters, Owen has been called on to locate a monster preying on the paranormal practitioners of London. It doesn't take him long to realize that Virginia is indeed a genuine glasslight- reader, unlike the talents of so many of her colleagues at the Leybrook Institute. Soon Owen is not only intrigued with Virginia's exceptional talent, but also her female sensuality. He realizes she could be the key to solving his case, which puts her in even more danger. Now he will stop at nothing to find the vicious monster and save the woman he can't live without.

Amanda Quick serves up another fascinating, engaging addition to her Arcane Society saga with this second installment in the Looking Glass Trilogy. Set in Victorian England, she expertly teams up a lovely glass-reader with a skeptical psychic investigator to give readers a perfect reading experience. I've been an Arcane Society fan since the first novel and can't wait for the next installment.
