Synopsis:An ancient prophecy divides two sisters- One good... One evil... Who will prevail? Twin sisters Lia and Alice Milthorpe have just become orphans. They have also become enemies. As they discover their roles in a prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other, the girls find themselves entangled in a mystery that involves a tattoo-like mark, their parents' deaths, a boy, a book, and a lifetime of secrets. Lia and Alice don't know whom they can trust. They just know they can't trust each other.
My Review:
I found this story very intriguing. I ended up listening to this book on CD and actually think I liked it better than if I had read the book just because the narrator’s voice was so engaging and she really brought the characters to life for me. This book did not necessarily keep me on the edge of my seat but there were parts that were freaky enough to make the hair on my arm stand up and I was entertained enough to want to know what would happen next. I think what kept this story rooted in reality was the fact that it took place in the 1800s and for me that made it seem like this could have happened because its almost like reading about a legend. The dynamic between Lia and Alice is fascinating because while they have been given their roles in the prophecy, it is hard to deny their true character. At the same time they have to consider family and someone they previously loved in a new light. I am interested to see how the story will end for Lia and Alice with everything currently facing them.
