Julie Corns felt trapped in her dull, boring life in Portsmouth, Ohio. That was until the day that Julie and her sister Shannon Wright stumbled upon an old mahogany mirror while they were cleaning out their deceased mom's basement. The mirror was originally owned by their great-great grandmother Emily, in 1920. Hidden inside a secret compartment, was Emily's diary and a three-pearl necklace on a leather cord. The necklace was powerful and could grant three wishes, one for each pearl, but it came with a warning that the mirror would own your soul after the third wish. Julie was desperate to change her life, and despite what was written in the diary and the warning from her psychic friend Charlotte, Julie made her wish. Julie's first wish came true making her appearance and life drastically change. So much so, that her old friend Irma Rios felt like someone else has taken Julie's place, but who? They decided to go to Lake Charles, Louisiana, and it was there that the new Julie emerged unleashing horror to whatever man crossed her path. If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?

This love story for the ages, set in a reimagined industrial Asia, is a little dark, a bit breathless, and completely compelling. A “grisly and satisfying” tale (Publishers Weekly) inspired by The Phantom of the Opera. Sixteen-year-old Wen assists her father in his medical clinic, housed in a slaughterhouse staffed by the Noor, men hired as cheap factory labor. Wen often hears the whisper of a ghost in the slaughterhouse, a ghost who grants wishes to those who need them most. And after one of the Noor humiliates Wen, the ghost grants an impulsive wish of hers—brutally. Guilt-ridden, Wen befriends the Noor, including the outspoken leader, a young man named Melik. At the same time, she is lured by the mystery of the ghost. As deadly accidents fuel tensions within the factory, Wen is torn between her growing feelings for Melik, who is enraged at the sadistic factory bosses and the prejudice faced by his people at the hand of Wen’s, and her need to appease the ghost, who is determined to protect her against any threat—real or imagined. Will she determine whom to trust before the factory explodes, taking her down with it?
