Twin sisters Lia and Alice Milthorpe have just lost their father to a freak accident. They have also become enemies. As they discover their roles in an ancient prophecy they find themselves deep in a mystery that involves a tatoo like mark, their parents' deaths, a boy, a book, and a lifetime of secrets. Lia and Alice don't know who they can trust, they just know they can't trust each other.Lia knows what part she plays in the propheccy, but what if she is wrong? Is she strong enough to do what is asked of her, to end everything once and for all, or will she give in and watch the destruction of the world? And what about her twin Alice, to what extremes will she go to make sure that Lia fails? It seems as if Alice knows everything about her role and Lia knows nothing, why is that? Two sisters literally hold the balance of mankind in their hands...
I loved this book! It was one of those Ihad a hard time putting down once I started...no matter how exhausted I was. Lia is an amazing character with so much love, detemination and yet a softness that you can't help but love. Not that there weren't times I got frusterated with her! From the very first page I knew that Alice was not to be trusted, there was just something about her that didn't feel right. There are so many 'quiet' characters in this book...DON'T OVER LOOK THEM! They have some serious importance to Lia and the story, and quite frankly I wish they had bigger parts....maybe in the next book!
This book is not for those who may get queasy about witchcraft or talk of fallen angels. There is some reference to those things, but it is a mere mention. However some may find it disconcerting.
I gave this book 4 stars...and I can't wait to read the next one!!!
