To me, there seemed to be enough of a gap that I could start my own blog of spoilers to help people like me! I found a couple of sites that spoil the endings (shouting out my new friend Jen Ryland here!), but couldn’t find everything I was looking for. When I didn’t write down the ending right away, I would try googling it to add it to my list. Often the synopsis alone isn’t enough to jog my memory! I especially needed these spoilers for books in a series, when it had been a while since I read the previous novel. I started jotting down endings because I found myself re-reading books I had already read, knowing I’d read it before but unable to recall the ending. Before I started blogging and Bookstagram, I was writing down the endings to books in my bullet journal as I finished them. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book was a thriller set around a planned terrorist attack on the Super Bowl.

Jess walked up behind Ashlyn as students filtered out of the halls in a rush to leave for their after-school activities. She was smart, unlike his usual looks-over-personality type." Ashlyn's gaze wandered behind me. "Maybe that's what scared my commitment-phobe brother. Olivia seemed way cooler than his usual type." "I thought he'd make it at least two weeks this time around. I shook my head as I spun my locker combination. I counted how many days had passed since her brother, Jess, started dating his latest girlfriend. "Time for another trip to the mall, Eliana."

He bought a house to start a new future and ended up with someone else’s past. Read Camille’s review in its entirety here. When Ben finds out about this connection and comes clean about the mirror and its history, Alfie is a bit skeptical, but is willing to give Ben the benefit of the doubt. Alfie learns the man in the mirror is more than just a dream, and based on how attractive the man is and how ready to engage in carnal pleasures-which are very heightened because of how the man came to be trapped in the mirror-Alfie bears a lot of sympathy for him.
