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!

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.

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

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.

making it more of a moral lesson than a story written purely for enjoyment. The historical element was entertaining

February 23, 2017

After getting suspended from school, Cassie travels with her mom and brother to their family’s ancestral home. Everything is creepy at night, and that weird wolf mirror in the forbidden wing of the mansion won’t let Cassie forget it. As soon as she sees it that night, she opens her eyes to find herself swapped with her ancestor, Lady Cassandra. Cassie has to wade through eighteenth century politics and unwanted proposals for her doppelganger in order to keep the mansion in her family…but who knows what Lady Cassandra is doing in Cassie’s home?
The Wolf Mirror was an intriguing historical fantasy for younger teens. It begins with a rebellious teenager struggling to come to terms with her parents’ choices but too proud to understand and forgive them. Then there is Lady Cassandra, the girl out of her time, who is just as proud and lost in world of men eager to steal her fortune while her father lies dying in his room. The two girls are forced to come to terms with their situations and be thankful for both the blessings and curses of their own lives. It is, after all, easier to understand the difficulties of other people’s lives when you literally walk in their shoes. The Wolf Mirror is not a romance, unlike many other YA novels, though it contains a few romantic elements. It focuses more on the growth of maturity in the two girls and their parental relationships. This theme came off a little strong at times, making it more of a moral lesson than a story written purely for enjoyment. The historical element was entertaining, especially watching the two girls witness the other’s culture for the first time.
I enjoyed The Wolf Mirror and would recommend it to younger YA readers. It reminds me strongly of the 1992 movie Split Infinity; anyone who enjoyed that movie will enjoy this book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author as a part of a book tour. All opinions are expressly my own.

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

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!

Enjoyable book

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.Read more
