“England, 1803 – Lady Victoria Mansfield flew high, high over her family’s estate. Arms and legs outstretched, long skirts fluttering around her knees as she gloried in her freedom and in the soft scented wind. She laughed with delight as she saw the familiar Somersetshire hills from above.”
Dark Mirror by M.J. Putney
As the youngest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Fairmount, Lady Victoria “Tory” Mansfield is destined for a charmed life of status and wealth. But what many don’t know is that Tory has a great talent she must keep hidden. If anyone were to find out that she has magical abilities she’d bring shame to her family and would more than likely be sent away, which is exactly what happens.
Now from Lackland Abbey where she is sent with other daughters and sons of the upper class, Tory will have to learn how to surpress her magical abilities.
I’ve just started reading this debut YA novel from bestselling author Mary Jo Putney and am really enjoying the characters and supernatural aspects of the story. The publisher has offered a book for a giveaway to one of my readers (sorry, only U.S. & Canada) so all you have to do is leave a comment and let me know if you’d like to read this. For fun you can tell me if you could have one magical ability what it would be? For me, I’d say the ability to stop time. Maybe I’d get through all the books I want to read. Hee,hee.
I hope to have my full review up soon and I’ll announce the winner on Friday, March 4. Thank you for entering and good luck!
I look forward to your review on this book, Iliana!
For the magical ability, it’d be great if I were able to turn back the time, hehe.
Hope you have a great week and happy reading!
This sounds like a very intriguing book. If I could have a superpower, I would want to be able to read minds. You could surprise all your friends with their greatest wish then.
Looking forward to youre review 🙂 If I had a magical ability it would be to read minds.
Sounds like an interesting book. I’d definitely pick teleportation.
Sounds good! I’m in need of a little superpower!
The ability to stop time is one I’d never thought of. I’d like to be able to magically heal.
sounds really interesting!!
I’ve read her other genres and am curious about this book. If I could have one superpower, it would be time travel.
