Blurb about the book:

     Keira and Amanda, twins, move with their family to a new town, and start their senior year at a new high school. But though they are twins, the girls have different fates. Amanda, beautiful, popular, is sought out by everyone. Keira, who has always lived in Amanda’s shadow, is smaller, awkward, different. It becomes clear that something strange is going on in Everstock. The town and the school are very divided. After a terrible accident involving the twins, not only are Keira and Amanda’s lives changed forever, but a new dimension of life begins to open to Keira.

My POV:

     When I read the summary before I purchased this book, I got really excited.  It seemed like something new/different and I was eager to dive right in.  Turns out, I was completely mislead.  This book is filled with really annoying contradictions, underdeveloped characters and in the end it left way too many things unanswered.  Not mention, the main character's love interest was a complete bore.  It isn't until close to the last 3 chapter's that they get together and she starts using her "powers."  She shouldn't have dragged out the beginning and shoved everything in at the end.  Also, terrible editing.  She would say so and so was wearing a pink dress but the next paragraph she would say they were wearing something else.  Which is it?  Didn't you proofread?  Sheesh.

My Score:

     It had potential but I'm not biting.  ♥ (1 heart)
