The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.
~Oscar Wilde~
Adoration is not profound enough a word to express the depth of my love for her. From the moment she walked into my life and set my heart and soul on fire, not a day’s gone by that she hasn’t plagued my every thought.
We were each other’s completion. She was everything I wasn’t–the sigh to my roar, the virtue to my sin, the cure to my wounds.
We Were One.
Until the unthinkable happened.
That I’ve survived such a tragedy without having completely lost it, is a mystery in itself. But as my mind starts to blur the lines between reality and my delusional heart, I begin to question everything, including my sanity.
And then the real mystery begins . . .
Looking Glass #2
Nico’s story
As I usually did when I first arrived at the lake, I parked and lit up a smoke so I could stake the place out by myself for a little while first. I’d heard about and seen enough of the twins now to know they were getting popular with the boys. Not in a bad way, but from what Nolan told me, even the quieter seemingly shyer one of the two had just as many admirers as the more outgoing one. But I’d yet to, nor did I plan to, socialize with either—ever.
“Did it hurt?”
I should’ve known right then those deep blue eyes that close, coupled with that sweet voice, would be the end of me. It was one of the twins—but unlike most of the folk in town, I knew exactly which one—stood before me, staring at my arm curiously.
Trying not to get too sucked into her intoxicatingly playful eyes, I looked away from them as our eyes met and I glanced down at what she was staring at instead. I couldn’t help smirking. She was asking about my latest tattoo.
“A little,” I said, not making too much of it, then glanced back at her. Smiling at those curious eyes just couldn’t be helped, so I did as I continued to indulge. “But it’s the best kind of pain there is. The kind that hurts so good.”
I knew flirting with her was a risk, but I could see the way she was looking at me—the way most girls did when I took them in so unabashedly, making no secret of my dirty thoughts.
She was younger than most girls I normally hung out with. I figured a few more risqué comments from me might have her red as a beet and walking away as she should.
“That thing between your legs,” she said, making me stop mid-drag of my cigarette, and my brows jumped at attention. “It just keeps getting bigger.”
Coughing what little smoke I’d inhaled, I proceeded to make an ass of myself nearly choking then laughing until I was finally able to speak. “What?”
As anyone knows about me, I have a huge issues with books being written from another POV when I already read the story in the first book. So to say I was very skeptical about this one would be putting it mildly. But Eli definitely nailed this one perfectly.
We Were One is the hero’s POV from Girl In the Mirror. And it was amazing. The first part is like a whole new aspect on things because it’s Nico’s past and we get to know about him and his family. That was something that truly helped set the stage for what was to come. The second part wasn’t as “in-depth” as the first but it was still refreshing and entertaining. And I think the reason behind the second part being more condensed, was because a lot of what happens, appears in Girl in the Mirror. Eli did a great job of not really repeating any scenes from Girl In The Mirror and that really helped with keeping this book fresh.
If you have not read Girl In the Mirror, that is ok. You don’t need to read that one to read this one. But I know whichever one you do read first, you will be itching to read the other book just to see how everything starts and finishes from each of their POV’s.
Eli always does a fantastic job of creating characters that you love. You become vested in them and want to see their happiness and success in the end. Yes, this book does have an HEA and will completely steal your heart along the way.
Another smashing hit book for Elizabeth Reyes.
