Prophecy Of The Sisters by Michelle Zink

Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Lia Milthorpe and her twin sister Alice have just become orphans, and, as Lia discovers, they have also become enemies. The twins are part of an ancient prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other. To escape from a dark fate and to remain in the arms of her beloved boyfriend James, Lia must end the prophecy before her sister does. Only then will she understand the mysterious circumstances of her parents' deaths, the true meaning of the strange mark branded on her wrist, and the lengths to which her sister will go to defeat her. Debut novelist Michelle Zink takes readers on an unforgettable journey where one sister's fateful decision could have an impact of Biblical proportions.

My Review

This Is One Of The Most Original, Beautifully Written Stories I've Ever Read. It Keeps You In A Trance As You Read Page After Page Of This Amazing Book! It's Dark Moonlight, Gothic Style Immediately Pulled Me In And Would Not Let Me Go. Lia And Alice Are Very Well-Written. They Are Two Twin Sisters Who Have Just Come To the Realization That They Are On The Opposing Sides Of An Ancient Prophecy. This Brings A Whole New Meaning To The Evil Twin Theory! It's Very Easy To Picture Them As Real People. The Very Beginning Of This Book Pulls At You, Scares You, And Enthralls You As Lia Leads You Through Her Father's Funeral. From Then On You're Hooked. I Actually Loved The Sisters So Much That I Found It Hard To Just Side With The Good Sister. It's Easy To Feel For Alice And Want Her To Succeed As Well. As The Story Moves On And Reaches The Ending You're Left Craving For More. It's Not Necessarily A Cliff Hanger But It Is Clear That There Is More To This Tale. Which Is Very Awesome And True! Prophecy Is The First Of Three Books. Michelle's Debut Novel Is Sure To Be A Smash Success With Young Adult Readers Across The World.

Rating - 5/5

New Releases: The Prophecy Of The Sisters And Shiver

Tomorrow Is An Amazing Day To Celebrate The Release Of Two Very Amazing Books! Both Of These Books Have Already Been Spotted In Barnes & Nobles' Across The USA.

First Is Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink



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.

Next Book Up Is Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater



Synopsis

The Cold.

The Heat.

The Shiver.

For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--her wolf--is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

FINALLY....

So If You Haven't Figured It Out.. I've Been Gone! My Internet Modem Crashed And I Couldn't Access It On My Computer. When, The Cable Guy Came To Fix It.. He Said My Computer Was Messed Up. So I Took My LapTop To Best Buy For Them To Tell Me Nothing Was Wrong With My Computer. That The Internet Connection Is What Had To Be Wrong. So, I Called My Cable Company And They Said I Had To Wait Two Days For The Cable Guy To Come Out. This Time I Actually Got A Girl. She Zapped My Modem, And Viola! I'm Back! That Guy Really Burned A Fire Under Me. He Truly Said Nothing's Wrong With The Modem.. When It Was What Crashed. What A Butt! LOL! Anyways, During My Hell Week, I Managed To Venture Off To The Book Store To Try And Stay Sane...

And I Found These Babies!!







Make Sure You Go To Your Bookstore And See If These Books Are In Stock! Shiver And Prophecy Aren't Due Out Till August. See If You Can Get Them. They Really Are All That Good!
I Now Own All Three Of These Books! LOL!

Apologies All Around,
