Since the book is so short, I don't want to give away too much, but I'll tell you where we start out.
Christy has lost her locket. Although it really isn't worth much and doesn't really have a picture in it, it is important to her and she really wants it back. Going into an old stock room, she finds her locket, but unfortunately finds a lot more than she bargained for. We find her at the beginning trapped and fearing that no one will ever find her.
Austin has a great mind, but he is also battling migraines. He is only 17, but he attends college classes to audit them. The headaches that have been plaguing him are frustrating him and he is waiting for a call from the doctor to tell him his MRI results. He fears they have found a tumor.
I was sucked into this book from the very beginning. Ted Dekker is probably my favorite storyteller of all time for his deep, thought-provoking books. I didn't enjoy his vampire book, but this one has me hooked. As soon as I finished Identity, I purchased Mirrors - book 2. It came out on December 31. Book 3 comes out on January 7 - Unseen, and January 14 is when book 4 - Seer comes out.
While the first one was free, the other three come with a price of $2.99 each. The four books are also going to be available as a paperback, released February 4. I'm all about getting my money's worth, so I look at it this way. The paperback is 296 pages. I purchase 3 of the 4 ebooks and pay about $3 each, totaling $9, about the normal price for a regular book.
In the email that Dekker sent out, he described this set of books, that he has labeled the Outlaw stories, as a TV series with four episodes. If the other episodes are anything like the first, I can't wait to read Mirrors! Easily gets a Good Book! review.
