Young Adult: 24th September 2026
A magic mirror like none other, Lykewise is a YA folklore-themed thriller telling a terrifying story of dark forces and a sinister legend that leads readers to question “Are you looking at the mirror? Or does the mirror look at you?”
When a travelling salesman passes through Harrowmere selling mirrors at an unbelievable price, the townspeople can’t resist. His bewitching wares combined with rumours of a mirror ritual that reveals one’s true self lead to strange disappearances and brutal attacks. With the threat hiding in plain sight, Beah and Dunn don’t know who they can trust and must discover how to destroy the Lykewise and free their friends from its curse before the next half-moon. Mysteries of the heart, unspoken grudges and secret dreams are revealed as the most unthinkable ghoul preys on the innocent.
This is not a story for the faint-hearted. Paranoia, tension and uncertainty flow through the pages, holding readers tight in the grasp of a sinister doppelganger who moves through mirrors. Perfect for fans of the Aveline Jones series, Lykewise will leave you thinking twice before you look in the mirror.
