Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink

This is an eerie book. The story line grabs you and drags you along, even if some of things happening might make you feel uncomfortable.

Lia and Alice are twins and they have a younger brother, Henry. Their mother committed suicide when they were young, and now their father has died under mysterious circumstances. Their aunt is now in charge of their care.

The twins share a heritage that no one has told them about before, but after the death of their father, they begin to understand that things are not quite what they seem.

It's an old, old prophecy that they cannot ignore, even if they would like to. It involves evil and pits the two sisters against each other.

The story is both fascinating and frightening and reads up quickly. There will be a sequel because the tale has not all been revealed yet. And I'll be watching for it come out.

Good and evil, the supernatural, and two sister's vying for power. And only one can win in the end...
