StarCrossed 3: Objects in the Mirror takes us back to the town of Salem, Massachusetts, where the populace is busy making up for its witch-burning reputation by letting all manner of unusual folks live there. Jace and Konnor are demon twins grabbing a second chance at life, but trouble starts when local clergy are brutally murdered, and the Salem Special Council is asked to investigate.
Twenty years should be enough to leave their past behind, but it comes charging after the brothers with an unholy vengeance. When one falls under suspicion for the murders, it shatters the heart of the other. Only an unlikely alliance of angels, vampires, were-creatures, and humans can help the brothers and keep the secret of supernatural beings living in Salem safe from the outside world.
The clock is ticking.
Authors' Note: This dark urban fantasy contains graphic violence and a consensual sexual relationship between non-human twin brothers.

Review by Carole at Rainbow Reviews - 
"It's a fantasy, a totally-believable otherworld, that rings true, that touches your senses, visually and emotionally. It appeals because it fires your imagination; there's never a wrong note to drag you back into real life. That's the joy of reading anything by these authors. They are secure in their premise, they know where they've been and they know where they are going, and they will carry you along for the ride in an exciting fantasy world that will rock you back on your heels.
StarCrossed 3: Objects in the Mirror is the kind of book that you just hate to end. I read it once, and then went back and read it again, and liked it even better the second time."
Review by Kassa
"The authors have a wonderful ability to write gripping urban fantasy, unafraid of delving into uncomfortable and dark subjects. There is a gritty realism to the story where you’re held on the edge of your seat, knowing the authors could choose at any moment to kill off even a beloved character. The unabashed honesty and devotion to the darker side is partly what makes the series so successful and enjoyable. This isn’t a romance but nor is it horror, combining elements of both with fantastic writing to make this an engrossing and satisfying page-turner."
Review by Elisa Rolle
"Jace and Konnor are the main characters but not the only important in the story; there is also Gennady, their vampire adoptive father, and Fallon, his young werefox lover, and Jericho, almost an adoptive brother. And then a lot of other minor characters, all of them with the same characteristic: they live in a border zone, between right and wrong, between good and evil, and no one of them is perfect. Even the angels in this story have their little dirty secrets."
Review by BoyLove Addict
"I love the way this story not only expanded the SC universe, but also added texture and color through the introduction of an exquisitely developed cast of characters. The twins’ adoptive father, Gennady (a vampire) and his partner Fallon (therianthrope - fox) are absolutely gorgeous and steadfast in their devotion to Jace and Konnor. Jericho (a vampire) and Sariel (an angel) drive both action and tension in their dual roles of rescuers and Sam admirers. Sam (a human woman) is an amazing character. Everyone that knows me, know that I hate girl cooties in my m/m books. It is rare for an author to write a female character in an m/m book that I can enjoy, even rarer to write one that I can root for. Well, Sam is all that and more. The authors deliver a female character that is capable and strong, assertive without becoming a bitch."
Review by Mel Spenser, author of Miss Me?
"What can one say about a series this good? Other than I have become completely hooked on it. And with StarCrossed 3: Objects in the Mirror, authors MacLeod and Valentine just keep getting better.
This particular installment has it all. It is sensual. It has humor. There are a few truly horrible acts of violence. Plus it has intriguing characters and an absorbing plot. And among all of this is a romance between two characters who, even though they are demons, still have the capacity to love."
Review by Lily, I Love Books
"As in book one of the series the deep love between Jace and Konnor is a very strong and powerful testament that love knows no boundaries. We know, and are very clearly shown throughout the book, that these men are Demons but it's their "human" feelings for each other and their family and friends that shines through and really makes this story so wonderful."
