The Mirror House Girls

De: Faith Gardner

Narrado por: Raquel Beattie

An isolated compound. A so-called family. A collision course with unthinkable violence.

When Winona rents a room at the eccentric Mirror House, she hopes to make new friends. What she gets instead is a “family” led by the charismatic psychologist Simon Spellmeyer.

But if she wants to stay at Mirror House, Winona must join in following Simon’s strange protocols for self-improvement. Warning bells chime inside her, but the allure of transformation keeps her hooked. While his methods are disturbing, the results are undeniable.

Soon, Simon’s vision for their future spirals in a darker direction. The group relocates, expands, and Winona’s once-close bond with her housemates grows fractured by mistrust until she’s trapped among people she hardly recognizes—including herself.

Can Winona wake up to the true cost of Simon’s vision in time to get out alive? Or will the utopian dream descend into a tragic nightmare?

OMG!

This book was so intriguing. Picture a really cool and loving sorority vibe that takes a dark irreversible turn.

Eh

It was just okay.. nothing too exciting all pretty easy to guess what would happen next.

It was really predictable

It was fine, good story, interesting and engaging but it was very predictable. I listened to the whole thing because I wanted the details but didn’t change the outcome or anything

Entertaining, Psychological Read w/ Satisfying Conclusion

If you are NOT familiar with the who, what, why and how a person could get sucked into being in a cult, The Mirror House Girls will be a riveting, eye opening read.

If you ARE familiar with the psychology behind cults and gangs, The Mirror House Girls will simply be an enjoyable book to pass the time.

Falling into the ladder, The Mirror House Girls was just ‘good’ for me. The overall story telling and narration is fantastic; however, mid-way to three-fourths through I was like “come on already”, then, I would remind myself the important of nuance; after all, it’s nuance that transcends a group into a cult — a slow drip that, overtime, fills a tub, which the author does amazingly.

If you are looking for a no-angst, entertaining, psychological read, I would recommend The Mirror Girls.

If you are looking for a fast paced, thriller, with lots of twists and turns, maybe choose another title.

Okay

This is an interesting read. It has aspects from different cults and mixed together. Some things were odd and not explained well.

Great read!

I loved this book! Great character development and it had me at the edge of my seat.

Meh waste of a credit

Predictable. The narrator voices do not match the age or the personality of the women. I was waiting and waiting and waiting for it to take off. Never does. One monotone uninteresting story. I had to finish it bc I paid for it and I hate leaving books unread. But yeah don’t waste your money. Also side note the main characters name is Simon and the amount of times they said “Simon Says” was ridiculous. I struggled not to giggle every time.

Engaging listen - in Worth the credit!

There aren’t many reviews on this new title yet, and I know that can be a little discouraging when deciding to spend a credit. Don’t let that stop you!
NO SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW.

First off, I love longer novels—but only when they’re well-written. There’s a fine line between necessary depth and unnecessary length, and this book gets it just right. The character development is rich, and the pacing keeps you engaged with just the right amount of tension.

If you’ve read the plot summary and the concept intrigues you, trust me—this book delivers.

As for the Audible experience: The narrator is fantastic. She doesn’t just read the story; she brings it to life without being distracting. The recording quality is excellent, the voice acting is natural and immersive, and each character flows seamlessly.

Highly recommend!

Loved it!

Really enjoyed this book! I don’t normally enjoy culty books, but this was very well done!

Good Story BUT draggggggged ON & eventually the leading character became almost unbelievable & irritating.

It was a fun story, BUT super random…super weird how the narrator ended up where she did…story draggggggged on too which didn’t help with the narrator’s believability…IMO
