A Must Read!Makenna Reagan and Kenzie Reese are best friends and roommates, but they share a history neither expected. What begins as a case of mistaken identity leads through a journey of secrets long hidden, danger, and deceit. Poignant at times, humorous at others, this powerful story of friendship, love, mystery and personal triumph is a must-read. “I have now completed the Mirrors Don’t Lie … the Mirrors Don’t Lie Book trilogy and I loved every line of every page!!! It was a mystery, romance, history novel all wrapped up into one package. This is one of those books that I read in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. Twists and turns throughout the book until the final page. And I have to comment that I love reading a good book with romance in it but not all the sexual exploits and graphic details!!!”
“Loved getting to know Kenzie and McKenna! The ending was perfect and I hate that the ride is over!”
“This series is the best that I have read in a very long time. It will have you laughing one minute and scared to be alone the next.”
“I really enjoyed this series, great story lines.”

Mirrors Don’t Lie Series is composed of three books concerning twin sisters separate at the age of three. I dislike them both cause of their actions, reactions and stupidity. The story line is full of unrealistic events in order for the story to flow. The dialog sometimes borders on stupid. More thought should have been put into these books because they could have really been great reads. The books do need to be heavily edited. Mafia is uppercase when it refers to the Costra Nostra, otherwise lowercase is OK if it’s like the “diaper” mafia wrecking havoc at the child care center. 3*
The Girl from Her Mirror #1 – Well written, but need to be better though through. I’ve read other books by Ms. Willis and enjoyed them. I was disappointed when she made the character stupid in order to advance the story. I would have found another way for the separation instead of believing a total stranger in a phone call; yep, no face-to-face. She also disregards her instincts about another character. She Googles everyone, but the Ranger after all he’s done for and with her?
A few action scenes were awkward, but there’s no reason for the author to have experienced what she put her character through, so take with a grain of salt or tolerance. (For example: they’re speeding and he wants her to turn left in 100 ft, which by the time he tells her what he wants that exit is long gone.)
There’s reasons explained for everything the character didn’t do and some got a bit redundant. The flow of the story is continuous and doesn’t bog anywhere. Other than a few unrealistic bits (action and dialog), the story is entertaining and the language is clean. I skipped what looked like a sex scene; written sex is so boring but sexual tension is fun. I like the family members and the roommates, all come across as likable. There’s no cliffhanger, but the Mafia is still in the picture. 4*
Mirror, Mirror on Her Wall #2 – It’s the other sister’s turn and she’s a terrible person. Not all the secrets were uncovered in book one and this book does well with the clues and investigation, and is fast paced. But too many things weren’t realistic and wouldn’t occur in reality. The main character is a meadow muffin; self-centered, selfish and irresponsible. She places others, and herself, in danger without a clue or though in her head. She’s always so smart and thinks she always right. Of course, she comes out smelling like a rose because the unrealistic events that are written for the story line. In real life, she would have died and the others with her.
Kenzie also can’t make up her mind between two men. She’s already in love with Travis, yet when she mets pretty boy Craven, she doesn’t owe T her loyality or her heart. Say what? She also confuses caring with controlling. He’s trying to keep her safe and Ms. Stupidity goes feminist and insulting. SW? Travis the Texas Ranger in love with this twit needs his head examined. Where’s his self-esteem when she’s treating him like something on the bottom of her shoe after strolling through a pig pen? Texas Rangers are not stupid men and to see him treated as an eejit is an insult to all Rangers. I don’t care what body part is thinking when he’s around her, he or any self respecting man would not tolerate this behavior. 3*
Light from Her Mirror #3 – I couldn’t read any more of this series. The second book just irritated me beyond tolerance. I have read other books by Ms. Willis that I did enjoy and were better written and thought out, so maybe this was an earlier effort before she hit her stride. Because I don’t expect improvements, I’ll just cheat and give it 3*.
