Double Vision was where we met all the characters that reside in Vista de Lirio。 It began with Julia's story and has continued with Vivian's in Mirror Obscure。I loved the "realness" of Vivian's life: The reality of pregnancy at an older age。 Older parents who have moved in permanently。 Maybe？？ Her mother's medical issues that come to light after witnessing a murder。 Maybe？？ The doubts that Richard is sincere with lustful thoughts about an extremely pregnant Vivian。 Her careful life has been turn Double Vision was where we met all the characters that reside in Vista de Lirio。 It began with Julia's story and has continued with Vivian's in Mirror Obscure。I loved the "realness" of Vivian's life: The reality of pregnancy at an older age。 Older parents who have moved in permanently。 Maybe？？ Her mother's medical issues that come to light after witnessing a murder。 Maybe？？ The doubts that Richard is sincere with lustful thoughts about an extremely pregnant Vivian。 Her careful life has been turned upside down with all of those issues and then the newly acquired psychic ability of feeling people's emotions are tossed into the mix。 Vivian is exhausted。The unlikely friendship of Vivian， Julia and EV continues in Mirror Obscure。 They are all learning how to live with their new gifts and the growing circle of friends that surround them， solving murders and trying to live in some normalcy。 I love the eccentric "family" that live in Vista de Lirio。 I love Richard's sincerity and his unwavering， quiet doggedness。 He is just lovely。 Mirror Obscure is full of romance， mystery， a little steam， murder and a baby！Elizabeth Hunter has again left me with a grin on my face。 。。。more

I really enjoyed this book。 Ladies are so easy to relate to and so are their lives except for the murder mystery part。 Such a great world to get lost in。 I highly recommend it （make sure you start from the first book in the series Double Vision）。

goodAn interesting plot。 Dang rich people think they can do whatever they want and get away with all sorts of things。 But Richard is such a sweetheart， it was nice reading about his happy ever after， after all he went through in the first book of the series。

Loving the Vista De Lerio Mysteries series！Mirror Obscure is the second book in this series and is excellent。 Vivian Wei is a pregnant empath who is juggling her career as a dentist， taking care of her aging parents， and trying to figure out who committed a murder that her mom saw on the golf course near her home。 Follow along as she and her friends try to solve another murder using their psychic abilities and some good old common sense。

I missed Vista de Lirio and the shenanigans in the community。 I was so happy to revisit and read Vivian’s story。 Poor Vivian is struggling with living with her parents， and very pregnant。 One evening her mom claims to have witnessed a murder！I love how relatable Vivian is and I really enjoyed getting to see how her skills are progressing。 I laughed out loud so many times while reading。The author has written a mysterious novel filled with romance and comedy。 I especially loved how Vivian and her I missed Vista de Lirio and the shenanigans in the community。 I was so happy to revisit and read Vivian’s story。 Poor Vivian is struggling with living with her parents， and very pregnant。 One evening her mom claims to have witnessed a murder！I love how relatable Vivian is and I really enjoyed getting to see how her skills are progressing。 I laughed out loud so many times while reading。The author has written a mysterious novel filled with romance and comedy。 I especially loved how Vivian and her friends come together to help her。 I’m looking forward to reading Evy’s story。 ✨Special thanks to Valentine PR for the ARC。 。。。more

The second book in the Vista De Lirio series， “Mirror Obscure” is the story of Doctor Vivian Wei， a family practice dentist to the wealthy and wealthier。 As this is a PWF genre story， Vivian is in her 40s， well established， and… pregnant。 “Mirror Obscure” continues the adventure of three psychically-enhanced friends who join forces to solve mysteries in historic upscale Vista de Lirio located in the California desert。 They get some help from two teenage sleuths who know all the gossip， a handsom The second book in the Vista De Lirio series， “Mirror Obscure” is the story of Doctor Vivian Wei， a family practice dentist to the wealthy and wealthier。 As this is a PWF genre story， Vivian is in her 40s， well established， and… pregnant。 “Mirror Obscure” continues the adventure of three psychically-enhanced friends who join forces to solve mysteries in historic upscale Vista de Lirio located in the California desert。 They get some help from two teenage sleuths who know all the gossip， a handsome chief of police， and a grumpy ghost with an ax to grind。 While “Mirror Obscure” is firmly in the paranormal mystery category， a good deal of real-estate in the book is dedicated to “What to expect when you’re expecting in your 40s。” Hunter aptly captures the challenges as well as the joy of a “mature” mom-to-be preparing to parent solo by choice。 What was missing for me was something that surely would have taken place at some point in this scenario， （especially since one of the many Dr。 Wei’s is an OB/GYN）， and that is a discussion of the risks for pregnancies over 40。 While it is more likely than not that a pregnancy would proceed normally in a healthy woman Vivian’s age， there is generally a higher risk for women over 40 of conditions such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes， as well as increased risk of a child with a genetic divergence。 Again， given the reoccurring theme of “so many doctor Wei’s，” it seemed unrealistic that this discussion would not occur。 Overall， “Mirror Obscure” is a good follow up to “Double Vision” and a good lead into EV’s story， “Trouble Play。” If you’re a fan of Elizabeth Hunter and PWF， you will absolutely want this one in your collection。 I had an opportunity to read an advanced copy of “Mirror Obscure” in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Vista de Lirio just might be becoming my favorite of Elizabeth Hunter’s PWF series。 With more of the quirky， slightly dark charm that made me so love its predecessor， Mirror Obscure is another tale of intrigue， murder， and humorous light mayhem （with a little romance for extra fun）。 Vivian Wei has a lot on her plate: she’s six months pregnant， her parents might be turning their visit into a permanent residence in her home， she’s still got to get a handle on her new psychic powers， she’s short on Vista de Lirio just might be becoming my favorite of Elizabeth Hunter’s PWF series。 With more of the quirky， slightly dark charm that made me so love its predecessor， Mirror Obscure is another tale of intrigue， murder， and humorous light mayhem （with a little romance for extra fun）。 Vivian Wei has a lot on her plate: she’s six months pregnant， her parents might be turning their visit into a permanent residence in her home， she’s still got to get a handle on her new psychic powers， she’s short one assistant at her dental practice， and her mother might have witnessed a brutal murder more or less in their backyard。 The only problem？ Despite her mother’s certainty， there’s no evidence of a crime。 I absolutely loved the plot twists in this story。 Vivian， Julia and Evy have a LOT to uncover， and each new reveal sent me into a whole new spiral of guessing。 It’s a great mystery， and I loved watching the story unfold from the perspective of a very pregnant heroine， who’s save-the-day actions must now accommodate challenges like frequent bathroom breaks and difficulty fitting in cars。 I also really enjoyed her relationship developments; there was something deeply sweet about how the story events impacted her relationship with both her parents， and with Richard。 （Honestly， no one writes characters and human connections quite like EH does！）I’m so happy to have had the chance to read an early copy of this book， and can’t wait for the sequel！ 。。。more

I loved the focus on Vivian in this book。 She is a fantastic representation of what young girls should strive to be。 Her loyalty to her family and friends is admirable and her self-motivation is amazing。 I love that even though she was single， she chose to have a baby anyways， and went about it medically。 This is not shown often in media and I love that it is a main component of this book！ I wish more books showed child options for single women。This mystery was a fun one to read about。 The entir I loved the focus on Vivian in this book。 She is a fantastic representation of what young girls should strive to be。 Her loyalty to her family and friends is admirable and her self-motivation is amazing。 I love that even though she was single， she chose to have a baby anyways， and went about it medically。 This is not shown often in media and I love that it is a main component of this book！ I wish more books showed child options for single women。This mystery was a fun one to read about。 The entire story was very well-written and keeps you engaged the entire time。 Elizabeth Hunter does a great job at showing the mystery， showing how it happened， and showing how it is resolved while keeping you entertained throughout the book。 。。。more

I will read anything Elizabeth Hunter writes， and you should， too！Elizabeth writes realistic paranormal fiction。 That sounds like an oxymoron。 Her characters are relatable and the plotlines keep a steady pace。 The question is who or what is visiting the gals in Vista de Lirio this time？ And who ends up with the hunky guy？ A woman in her 40s falling in love for the first time gives this grandmother hope even if it is fiction！

Another outstanding paranormal story by Elizabeth Hunter。 This is the 2nd book in a trilogy set in Palm Springs CA。 The series involves three unexpected friends dealing with newly accessed paranormal/psychic gifts and a series of murders they are involved in solving。 Glimmer Lake and Moonstone Cove are two other trilogies with similar plots。 These series are all well worth reading too！ Highly recommend all of them！

This was a cute quickish murder mystery read！ You get all the amazing characters from the first book！ Some are just crack ups！ I seriously love them！ I love their girl gang。 Vivian has so much going on and having them band together is beautiful。 I’m not a big fan of big age gaps but Richard is perfect for Vivian so I allowed it 😆If you are looking for something fun with a bit of paranormal drama look no further！
