The New York Times has described him as “ his own genre”.Īnd yet, despite having one of the most recognisable faces on the planet, until recently Jackson didn’t know quite where that face had come from. Last year he was named “Hollywood’s most bankable star”, with films grossing a total of $13bn to date – more than the annual GDP of Iceland. I have to say that even if you are not looking for it, you should still read it (laugh).F rom Spike Lee joints to Tarantino thrillers, Star Wars to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Samuel L Jackson has done it all.

If you are looking for a quick “whodunit” or mystery with some hot sex, then Mirror Man is for you. I cannot really say a lot as this is a novella and I do not want to give anything away. Or how the story is going to end which is exciting. You also do not know who is telling the truth. You do not know who to root for as they both seem to provoke similar feelings in our main character. He also keeps you stimulated between the man in the mirror and Ben (laugh). Samuel King keeps you guessing in Mirror Man (Pride Publishing, B07Z41YYNB, 2019). That night he has yet another dream in front of the mirror with the man in the mirror which Ben calls and interrupts.īen has to tell him something.about the mirror. Ben is asking about the house and the mirror. The next day the former owner knocks on his door, Ben, and he is confronted with another fine looking man.

Then the dream came and so did the man.the really good looking man. When bought the house he thought he had gotten away from drama. 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. The quasi love triangle was a fun puzzle, too. So if you are looking for a story that features all manner of physical intimacy, then you’ll find a lot of scenes to enjoy in this story.

It also helped explain why Alfie feels an instant attraction to Ben-it’s partly just that Alfie is now available and happens to like Ben, but Alfie’s also being influenced by the mirror. The way his sex drive goes into overdrive is neatly explained as a side effect of the mirror and the sexy apparition of a man whom Alfie deams of seeing there. It was easy to imagine Alfie being put off any sort of relationship, having just ended his live-in situation with his philandering ex. Mirror Man offered a fun distraction during a very busy time of the year for me.
