Books in the series:
 * Mirrorfall (MF) - Playful Hacker Stef is recruited by The Men in Black and shown the Masquerade.
 * Mirrorheart (MH) - After the mirrorfall, a life hangs in the balance, as do the punishments for attempting a ressurection.
 * Mirrorshades (MS) - Becoming an agent is by no means an easy process, especially when there are those that would see you fail.
 * The Grey Edge (GE) - Life isn't easy when you're half-magpie, and less so when your entire family is pyschotic, and so is the man you're in love with.
 * First book with the focus on Magnolia and Taylor, rather than Ryan and Stef.

The series provides examples of:

 * Back From the Dead -.
 * Waistcoat of Style - Part of the formal uniform for the Field department, is a Badass Longcoat.
 * Blood Knight - there's a reason people are scared of Taylor.
 * Playful Hacker - how Stef makes her living before joining the Agency. Also, arguably the entire tech department.
 * Deadpan Snarker - Curt is certainly one. Very good at impromptu snarky lines.
 * Half-Human Hybrid - Magnolia, who is half-magpie.
 * The Grim Reaper - Death's a recurring secondary character.
 * Invisible to Adults - Members of the Lost who operate as imaginary friends are selectively visible.
 * Imaginary Friend - Stef has Captain Hook as an imaginary friend as a child.
 * Mama Bear - Jonesy is this for Merlin.
 * Masquerade
 * The Men in Black - The agents.
 * Nightmare Sequence - Two separate types here:
 * Stef's nightmares after, appear without warning or explanation, genuinely terrify her even though she cannot remember the content.
 * Glitches - both induced and natural - essentially hallucinations for agents that cannot be distinguished from reality.
 * Parental Substitute - Running theme in the series.
 * Primarily with the Ryan/Stef dynamic (developed through MH, stated openly in MS, now he routinely refers to her as his daughter).
 * Jones for Merlin.
 * Agent Mike and his adopted son Bennefree.
 * Agent "Billy" Williams and Milla.
 * Freak Out - Stef, several times, most noticeably in MH where  she descends into a full meltdown, externalising the voices in her head, quoting River Tam and playing with small pieces of her own brain.
 * Abusive Parents - a few examples throughout the series.
 * Stef's were emotionally distant and sometimes outright neglectful - prime example being they failed to notice the events of MF#01.
 * Merlin's parents...as of book four, only hints have been dropped, but the consensus is "Oh boy..."
 * Magnolia's mother
 * Eye Scream
