Cassie throws the first punch in a brawl at Winchester Abbey Girl’s School. Her subsequent suspension is a glitch in Cassie’s master plan;Finish School/Get Job/Leave Home (and never come back). As punishment her mother banishes her to Ludlow Park, their creepy ancestral home. In the dark of a stormy night Cassie finds herself transported to 1714, the beginning of the Georgian period.

With the help of a lady’s maid and an obnoxious gentleman, Mr Charles Stafford, Cassie must unravel the mysterious illness afflicting Lord Miller, a malady that could guarantee his untimely death. If Lord Miller kicks the bucket the house goes to Reginald Huxley, the brainless cousin from London.

Cassie’s task is to figure out who is poisoning the Lord of Ludlow without exposing herself to the ridicule of her peers, getting herself committed to the asylum or worse, married off to the first man who will have her.

Cassie must learn to hold her tongue, keep her pride in check and reign in her rebellious nature - because the fate of her entire family, for generations, rests on her shoulders.

Meanwhile, Lady Cassandra Miller frantically searches for her smelling salts or her trusted governess Miss. Blythe, whose soothing advice she would dearly love. Instead Cassandra finds some woman and a boy squatting in the Ludlow mansion; her father, her lady’s maid and all the servants have magically disappeared.
Tell-a-vision, the In-her-net, horseless carriages and women wearing pantaloons; Cassandra is afraid that she might have inhaled fowl air causing her to temporarily lose her senses.

With the help of Tallulah, a black witch, Cassandra finds her feet in this strange land, challenging Becky ‘The Troll’ Travers , learning about feminism and standing up for what’s right.

Only when both girls can get over their pride, societal prejudices and self-importance will they be able to return to their rightful century. Until then, they are free to wreak maximum damage on their respective centuries.

Historical Fiction with a twist!

ByN. N. Lighton March 28, 2017

After getting into a fight with a bully, Cassie is suspended from her prestigious school. Her mother has had enough and Cassie, her mother and her brother take a trip to Ludlow Park. Normally, this wouldn’t be a bad thing but there’s no internet to speak of at their ancestral home and it’s way too creepy.

Cassie goes wandering for a place to sneak a cigarette when she discovers an antique mirror with four wolf heads surrounding it. Before she can take a step back, it sucks her into a vortex and she finds herself in Ludlow Park in the year 1714.

At the exact same time, Lady Cassandra (in the year 1714) discovers the same mirror and is flung forward to the present. Two girls with the same name swap places and once over the Freaky Friday moment, are determined to get back to their retrospective time periods. Will they learn what they’re meant to learn in time or will they forever be in the wrong century?

I really enjoyed this book. The premise and cover intrigued me. I connected immediately with modern-day Cassie while I found it a hair difficult to relate to Cassandra. The historical part seemed, at times, forced and not realistic. The romance, for what it’s worth, was more hype than anything else. The ending, however, was superb and the way the author tied everything together impressed me.

If you like historical fiction with a twist, give this a try. The plot progresses at a fast pace once the time flip happens. Highly enjoyable.

My Rating: 4 stars

I was excited to start reading since I'm always looking for books I can recommend to my students

ByMeagen Foxon March 23, 2017

The description of the book was intriguing. I was excited to start reading since I'm always looking for books I can recommend to my students; especially the girls. This book has two strong female protagonists, which is a huge draw, and the story line itself is interesting. Cassie's part of the story starts off with a bang and I thought the rest of the story would hold my attention like her clash with her mother did.

The characters struggle to find their footing in the time periods they find themselves living in unwittingly. Cassie has to curb her usually stubborn personality and Lady Cassandra has to learn to let go of her control. Both girls are facing unfamiliar territory as they try to maneuver through the different centuries. Cassie has to be careful though because the fate of her family rests in her hands whether she likes it or not. Lady Cassandra has the more interesting transition due to her lack of knowledge about the modern world. She's stumbling through discovering technology and understanding why girls wear pants which is funny in and of itself.

Unfortunately, I struggled to get through the book. I liked the idea of falling through a mirror and discovering you're in a different time period. That was a unique approach that had so much potential, but this story fell a little flat. I suppose it is because nothing was really surprising- I could guess what was going to happen next and that was disappointing.

but I think Healy did a fantastic job and I would recommend this book to other ...

ByM. Addisonon February 22, 2017

I truly wasn't sure how I would feel about this book - it's young adult and kind of right in my wheel house, but not really a genre that many get right. Historical fiction is HARD! Even harder when you factor in moody and confused teenagers... but I think Healy did a fantastic job and I would recommend this book to other YA Historical lovers!

Cassie is the ultimate in rebel - she's fighting back her parents who have separated and just don't have a hold on her anymore. She keeps getting herself into major trouble at school, and her mother decides it's time to take some drastic measures and takes her and her brother out of town to the family estate. The estate sits in a technology black hole - so it's a major punishment for Cassie. The first night there, weird things start happening... and the pace of the story from then on just doesn't stop! I spent the rest of the day reading and trying to predict and decide what might happen next! Cassie was essentially forced from the world she was used to, and faced with living in the 1700's as Lady Cassandra Miller... and she seemed to handle it with some class. I would of been freaking the mess out! I had a harder time believing Cassandra in modern times, but overall it was an interesting Freaky Friday moment!

A wonderful ride for fans of YA and time travelling!

ByAnnelise Lestrangeon March 27, 2017

As soon as I read the blurb, I knew I’d adore this book. Time travelling? Check. Doppelgängers shifting lives? Check. Strong and stubborn women ready to rock their ways into unknown times? CHECK. The Wolf Mirror was a wild realistic narrative that proves how a little distance from the problem can drastically change your perspective into it and help you see the bright sides. It’s not always that I’m tempted at giving half stars to books – I’m a go hard or go home kind of panda, oops! – but The Wolf Mirror left me torn. In the end, I opted for 4 stars instead of 5, as while the book was mind blowing, the little flaws I saw in it were enough to make me hesitate to pull the perfect score =)
If you like YA, historical fiction and time travelling, this HAS TO BE your next read!

Enjoyable book

ByPaul Hornon March 15, 2017

I wanted to like this book more than I did. The premise sounded so promising but it fell a little flat. It was predictable and at times cliché. I didn’t think that Cassie and Cassandra grew enough as characters for me. I thought for sure that the time travel would show them something in themselves that wasn’t there before, but nothing happened. I think the only thing that kept me hanging on was the notion that a love story would blossom between Cassie and Mr. Stafford. However, I was also disappointed with that as well. There was no hot kissing or deep feelings. It was just a story that had great potential but never blossomed into anything spectacular.
