Review: Falling into Magic

Synopsis:

An accidental journey through a magic mirror. A portal to an enchanted land. A mysterious family she never knew she had. Hayden’s life is upended with the wonder of Destiny Falls. But it is tainted by the danger that brought her here and that threatens her newfound family. Can Hayden and her sassy sidekick remove the threat, so that she can begin her magical new life in this captivating world?

…When Hayden was a child, she lost her cat. Adults told her the cat ran away, but she knew the truth. The mirror had taken her. She knew because the mirror gave her a glimpse of an alternate world and had nearly pulled her in, so she was certain the cat had suffered that fate.

Twenty years later, Hayden discovers the secret of the mirror when she is thrust into it. She learns of an enchanted world she never knew existed, and a family she never knew she had.

But danger brought her here, and it followed her. Now, Hayden is on a mission to remove the threat, so that she can begin her magical, meaningful new life in this enchanted world.

Review:

Falling into Magic by Elizabeth Pantley is both intriguing and fun. These cast of characters make this journey an unforgettable ride. The story has a bit of an Alice in Wonderland vibe to it. The magical mirror just like the one Alice had. Also, there was a bit of a Sabrina the Teenage Witch feel as well. Hayden is a combination of both Alice and Sabrina. Mirrors can be great and dangerous too. I was intrigued and fascinated with this story. Elizabeth Pantley’s writing is as engaging as that of Angie Fox and Agatha Frost. Both of them also write in the cozy mystery genre. I love reading a book from a new writer such as Elizabeth Pantley and knowing her books are as good as that of my other favorite writers. I am so happy this book is a part of a series. Like with all good things, I want this fictional universe, Destiny Falls to continue. Inside, readers will find adventure, danger, mystery, and characters who are charming. This book had just the right elements to make it magical. Overall, I cannot wait to read the second novel to this series!
