Enchanted Mirror Maze is here
Enchanted Mirror Maze is now part of the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series, and this one brings Reg face-to-face with a magical problem that is charming, dangerous, and much too certain of itself.
There is a cursed mirror. A few dangerous assumptions. A supernatural community that thinks it understands the rules. And, of course, Reg Rawlins, who has learned the hard way that magical trouble always looks much simpler before she gets involved.
If you like paranormal cozy mysteries with a little extra edge, this book leans into the best parts of the series: a psychic investigator who would rather not be dragged into another mess, a close supernatural community with plenty of secrets and opinions, and a magical problem that gets more unsettling the longer you look at it.
The center of the story is Reflekto, an enchanted mirror that does not just reflect what people want. It studies them. It tempts them. It pushes at the places where loneliness, longing, pride, and fear are already doing the damage.
And once a mirror starts understanding people that well, the question is not only what it shows them.
The question is what it wants them to do next.
That is the kind of case Reg cannot ignore.
A magical mirror with far too much confidence
Mirrors are already a little unsettling. They show the truth, but only from one angle. They reflect what is in front of them, but not necessarily what is hidden underneath. Add magic, intelligence, and a personality that does not believe in limits, and suddenly a mirror is not a household object anymore.
It is a problem.
Reflekto is not content to sit quietly and reflect the room. He talks. He reasons. He flatters. He offers people the thing they most want to see, and that makes him dangerous in a way Reg recognizes immediately. The more personal the temptation, the harder it is to step back and ask whether the magic is helping or manipulating.
In Enchanted Mirror Maze, the mystery is not just about what happened. It is about what people believe, what they want badly enough to trust, and what happens when a magical object starts turning those desires into leverage.
Why this case belongs to Reg Rawlins
Reg has never been the kind of investigator who accepts things at face value. Before she ever became a psychic investigator, she was a survivor and a professional con. She knows how people perform. She knows how they hide things. She knows how easily a convincing story can become more powerful than the truth.
That makes her the right person to face a mirror that understands performance, desire, and deception. Reg may not always know the magical rules when she walks into a case, but she knows when someone—or something—is pressing too hard on a person’s weak spot.
She also knows what it feels like to be alone, cornered, and underestimated. That is one of the reasons she keeps getting involved even when the smart move would be to back away. Reg does not like bullies. She does not like predators. And she especially does not like magical beings who think their power puts them above consequences.
Reflekto may believe he knows exactly what he is doing.
Reg has a few questions about that.
What readers will find inside

Paranormal cozy mystery with a sharper edge
Enchanted Mirror Maze has the cozy mystery pleasures readers expect from the Reg Rawlins series: recurring characters, magical community, relationship tension, humor, and a heroine who keeps getting pulled into other people’s supernatural problems.
But this book also has a sharper edge because Reflekto is not only strange. He is persuasive. He believes he is intelligent enough, powerful enough, and important enough to ignore the limits everyone else keeps talking about.
That gives the story an extra layer of tension. A talking mirror might sound playful at first. But a talking mirror that studies people, tells them what they want to hear, and insists it knows best is something else entirely.
That is where Reg’s world is most fun: right at the border between the charming and the dangerous.
Can you start the series here?
Enchanted Mirror Maze is book 25 in the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series, but the core mystery stands on its own. Long-time readers will enjoy the ongoing relationships, magical history, and the way Reg’s world continues to expand. New readers can step in here and follow the mirror from the first crack in the glass.
If you prefer to start at the beginning, begin with What the Cat Knew, where Reg first arrives in Black Sands and discovers that pretending to be psychic is a lot less complicated than dealing with real supernatural trouble.
Or, if you are already deep into the series and want the most recent arc, you can also explore the Reg Rawlins 22–24 collection before stepping into Enchanted Mirror Maze.
For readers who like mystery, magic, and a little mischief
The Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator books are for readers who like their mysteries with supernatural complications and a heroine who does not always follow the approved path. Reg is practical, stubborn, funny, suspicious, and compassionate in spite of herself. She has spent much of her life surviving, which gives her a sharp eye for manipulation and a soft spot for anyone who has been abandoned, underestimated, or trapped.
That combination matters in Enchanted Mirror Maze. Reflekto is powerful, fascinating, and convinced of his own superiority. Reg has met enough dangerous people and magical beings to know that confidence is not the same thing as wisdom.
When a magical object starts insisting it knows better than everyone else, Reg is exactly the wrong person to accept that without a fight.
