Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine. Each Wednesday you get to highlight a book that your really looking forward to. This week I’ve chosen:
The Mirror’s Truth by Michael R. Fletcher.
Where belief defines reality, delusions are both strength and curse: The deeper you sink into madness the more powerful you become. But that power comes with a price. Your darkest nightmares hunt you at night. The face in the mirror hates you and wants to be free. Your fears manifest and plot your destruction.
******
Bedeckt defined himself by the list of crimes he was unwilling to commit. It was such a short list. How could straying from it have gone so wrong?
Now Bedeckt must undo the damage caused by wandering from his precious list. The Geborene god seeks to remake the world with his obsessive need for cleanliness and perfection, but Bedeckt is going to bring him down. Nothing can stop him. Not even death.
The two friends he abandoned in the Afterdeath chase after Bedeckt, bent on revenge. Psychotic assassins hunt him. Something cold and evil follows, lurking in the clouds above, shredding reality with its delusions. Madness and sanity war, stretching and tearing the very fabric of existence.
The dead shall rise.
For the actual cover reveal and an excerpt from the book you can head on over to the authors own website and have a read yourself: !!HERE!!
The book is being self-published by the author and his goal is to release it on December 15th 2016.
And, just because the song shares the same title as the book, here is The Mirror’s Truth by In Flames:

It’s the second book in the series following on from Beyond Redemption which was released last year, sadly it didn’t do well enough and the publisher didn’t pick up the sequel which is why the author is self-publishing but I would definitely recommend it as it’s a great dark and deluded read! 🙂

I’m curious why he’s self publishing, wasn’t the first book published by Harper Voyager? In any case, very cool. I haven’t read Beyond Redemption but everyone raves about it. Must read!

Yes, it was published and I think it was by Harper, it didn’t do well though and they didn’t pick the sequel up hence why he’s self publishing.
Beyond Redemption is a great read, though it’s very very grimdark in nature. 🙂

True, it was certainly one of the better books I read last year but I guess it’s just the way it is. 😦

The cover has a man’s bare chest on it. How will you ever survive? Did your eyes hurt when you inserted the cover? 😂 You’re reading an indie book?

Yes, I’m so excited for this one! I was so bummed when I heard that Harper wasn’t buying the rest of the series, so I was glad to hear the author decided to self-publish.
