Summary
StarCrossed 2: Objects in the Mirror takes us back to the town of Salem, Massachusetts, famous for the witch trials of 1692. In the wake of that tragic time, the town has done everything in its power to be charitable toward its unique residents. Tarot readers, a nightclub with a twist, and little shops dedicated to the magical arts line the downtown streets. One of every four Salem residents claims either to be a witch or to know one. What newcomers don’t realize, however, is that witches are hardly the only usual people who might be living next door. Jace and Konnor Barton are identical twin demons enjoying a much-improved life after narrowly escaping a rough start. Given a second chance, they live in the protective care of their adoptive vampire parent, Gennady Zaitsev, and Fallon Demeter, Gennady’s young werefox lover. Trouble starts when a local clergyman is brutally murdered. The Salem Special Council—of which Gennady is the president—bears the responsibility of reining in a potentially dangerous supernatural citizen. Twenty years should have been enough to leave their difficult past behind them, but a nightmare comes charging after the Barton twins with an unholy vengeance. When one brother falls under suspicion for the clergy murder, it shatters the heart of the other. Only an unlikely alliance of angels, demons, vampires, were-animals, witches, and humans can save Jace Barton and keep the secret of supernaturals living in Salem safe from the outside world. The clock is ticking. __________ StarCrossed 2: Objects in the Mirror is a 55,000-word gay urban-fantasy novel (demons, angels, vampires, and shape-shifters), set in contemporary Salem, Massachusetts.
