In late nineteenth-century New York state, wealthy sixteen-year-old twin sisters Lia and Alice Milthorpe find that they are on opposite sides of an ancient prophecy that has destroyed their parents and seeks to do even more harm.
I don't really understand why people didn't like this book. I couldn't quit reading it.
Now on to book two.
I think I'm just done with this. I'm dreading picking it back up. It's not terrible, but I honestly don't care about the prophecy, and if I don't care about a bloody prophecy, this is not the book for me. Prophecies are my bread-and-butter.
The characters are pretty thin and rather alarmingly one-dimensional. Any questions on who is the bad sister and who is the good one? Well, no, not after about page 2. There's just not enough subtlety here for me to care at all.
I was really looking forward to this, but in the end I just don't care.
