When Kirk Stanford moves into his new home, strange things begin to happen.
Messages appear in the steam on his mirror, warning him of a nameless threat.
Then someone keeps breaking into his house, looking for something Kirk can’t
identify. With the help of his boyfriend, Damon, Kirk digs into the house’s
history, and discovers not just the previous owner’s brutal murder, but
threatening letters written to him from someone named Sam. As the intruder
strikes again, Kirk and Damon find themselves fighting not only to solve the
mystery, but to keep from being murdered themselves.

Kirk Stanford is a very happy new home owner. The only downside is that his
long term boyfriend, Damon, can’t move in with him due to the distance between
his job and Kirk’s new house. Straight away Kirk starts noticing strange
occurrences in the house though. Words appear in the steam left on the mirror
when he showers, but then they are gone at second glance, making Kirk think
it’s just his overactive imagination. Then he meets one of his neighbours, and
to say the man makes Kirk nervous is an understatement.
Days pass and the mystery of Kirk’s new
home slowly unravels itself to him. There are the words on the mirror, and
letters that Kirk finds written to the previous owner written by someone named
Sam. Stranger still, the words on the mirror and in the letters, they are
identical. When Kirk does some digging into the history of the house, he learns
the previous owner was murdered and starts to feel like the killer is now
coming after him.
I literally got goose bumps while I was
reading this story. Very mysterious and intriguing, the way the threat was
slowly revealed. The anticipation built from the start with those first words
on the mirror and Edwards kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Very much
like reading a good scary movie with all the action and suspense. I wanted Kirk
to trust his instincts just a little more, and I saw the ending coming a mile
away, but there were just enough twists to keep me entertained.
Take a nice little cozy mystery, throw
in some steam and a dash of spooky and you have Wicked Reflection.
