Synopsis:
The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death. ~Oscar Wilde~
Adoration is not profound enough a word to express the depth of my love for her. From the moment she walked into my life and set my heart and soul on fire, not a day's gone by that she hasn't plagued my every thought.
We were each other's completion. She was everything I wasn't--the sigh to my roar, the virtue to my sin, the cure to my wounds.
We Were One.
Until the unthinkable happened.
That I've survived such a tragedy without having completely lost it, is a mystery in itself. But as my mind starts to blur the lines between reality and my delusional heart, I begin to question everything, including my sanity.
And then the real mystery begins . . .

As I usually did when I first arrived at the lake, I parked and lit up a smoke so I could stake the place out by myself for a little while first. I’d heard about and seen enough of the twins now to know they were getting popular with the boys. Not in a bad way, but from what Nolan told me, even the quieter seemingly shyer one of the two had just as many admirers as the more outgoing one. But I’d yet to, nor did I plan to, socialize with either—ever.
“Did it hurt?”
I should’ve known right then those deep blue eyes that close, coupled with that sweet voice, would be the end of me. It was one of the twins—but unlike most of the folk in town, I knew exactly which one—stood before me, staring at my arm curiously.
Trying not to get too sucked into her intoxicatingly playful eyes, I looked away from them as our eyes met and I glanced down at what she was staring at instead. I couldn’t help smirking. She was asking about my latest tattoo.
“A little,” I said, not making too much of it, then glanced back at her. Smiling at those curious eyes just couldn’t be helped, so I did as I continued to indulge. “But it’s the best kind of pain there is. The kind that hurts so good.”
I knew flirting with her was a risk, but I could see the way she was looking at me—the way most girls did when I took them in so unabashedly, making no secret of my dirty thoughts.
She was younger than most girls I normally hung out with. I figured a few more risqué comments from me might have her red as a beet and walking away as she should.
“That thing between your legs,” she said, making me stop mid-drag of my cigarette, and my brows jumped at attention. “It just keeps getting bigger.”
Coughing what little smoke I’d inhaled, I proceeded to make an ass of myself nearly choking then laughing until I was finally able to speak. “What?”

Review:
Girl In The Mirror was supposed to be a standalone book, but I'm so excited that Elizabeth Reyes decided to take it into another direction and created the Looking Glass Series. We Were One is an alternate POV novel that felt like I was reading something entirely new. I absolutely love when authors write male POV's and Elizabeth Reyes completely stole my breath away with Nico's POV. He's such a fascinating character and the love he has for his girl his heart-melting.
I won't go into details about what happens in the story because I feel that every reader needs to experience the complete Looking Glass reading journey from the very beginning. What I am going to discuss is how this book gave me all the feels. It was such an emotional book that made me feel a hurricane of emotions. This story is full of passionate, tender, heart-breaking and emotional moments. Nico's love for his girl is so powerful that when tragedy strikes, a river of tears will fall on your cheeks and you will be left with a ball of emotions that you can't control. Tissues are highly recommended!
When I read Girl In The Mirror, I was trying to put together the pieces of an intricate puzzle. With We Were One, I got to see that even if Girl In The Mirror was a fantastic novel, Nico's POV was such a powerful addition to that story. Elizabeth Reyes gave a wonderful gift to her readers when she wrote We Were One. There is no better gift for a reader than to reunite with characters that own a piece of their heart.
The Cortez Brothers are a cast of characters you do not want to miss! Elizabeth Reyes always creates the most fascinating characters that keep you coming back for more! Her writing style is amazing and if you have not read anything by her yet, you are seriously missing out! I'm extremely excited to find out what his next in this series. I'm crossing my fingers that I will soon reunite with these amazing characters! <3
