The Twin Prophecies: Rebirth

Christine M. Butler
> 24 hourLet me start out by saying, I can not believe that a major publishing house hasnt picked this book/series up! Twin Prophecies follows high school sophomores Violet Ross and Jack Morrow who are strangers until secrets begin to unfold that bring them together. They both struggle with abilities they have kept hidden from everyone around them. Violet is an empath, Jack can see the future when he touches people. As circumstances throw them together, they learn to trust one another and find they arent as alone as each of them had thought. Guided by prophecies predicting the end of the world, the mysterious Dr. Tesla - who leads an alliance of supernatural beings - helps Jack and Violet come to terms with this secret world, control the growing powers within them, and face an unspeakable evil determined to possess their very souls. When I first picked the book up and started reading I had my doubts. As I read the first page I thought to myself, oh no, shes going to describe the town and every little secret ever kept. Then I turned the page and nearly laughed out loud. I was hooked from that point on! This book is well written and flows easily from one scene to the next. Nina Perez did an outstanding job developing the story and has left me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for more!

> 24 hourIn a world of Harry Potter, Twilight and even True Blood...THIS book stands out. It is all of the mystical beings that woke us from dreams as children, written in a witty intelligent way that has not been done before. The reader does not get sidetracked by gratuitous violence or sex. Instead we the readers are pulled into the pages and could visualize what was happening on the pages like an Ominmax movie in our brains. The characters are well written, and in a way that you want to...HAVE to know what happens next. ALL of them, not just the main characters. I am eagerly waiting for what happens next to Violet and Jack (and everyone else) Thank You Ms. Perez for writing a book that not only I, but my children enjoy equally.

> 24 hourI really didnt expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. Once the author drew me into the characters lives and the world-within-a-world that became their reality, I just couldnt put it down before knowing what happens next. Ill be thinking about Jack and Vi daily until book two comes out.

> 24 hourI cant add much more than what has been said in previous reviews. I purposely waited several weeks after reading the book to see how I felt. Did I truly care about the characters? Am I in anticipation for the next book? Do I remember significant details about the book and its characters? I can say yes to all 3. As someone else mentioned. It could have been longer. I think there are parts of the story and characters that I think could have been flushed out more. Overall it was an enjoyable and quick read. Nice addition to the world of Young Adult fiction. I look forward to the rest of the series. The following comment has nothing to do with the Author but with the Amazon publishing: Ive had the book about 2 months a few weeks after purchasing the book the plastic covering on the book jacket started peeling and I think it only stopped because I finished the book. The book has not gotten wet or been exposed to extreme temperatures. Im not sure if it was a batch issue or what.

> 24 hourI found this book to be predictable and unoriginial. In this era of supernatural fiction it rang a little blah to me. Nothing too snazzy or new to add to the subject. Came off a bit cliche. Also, I found the book to be a bit slow and then POW! we get to the climax without much work-up. And the climax ended just as quickly as it began. I think Nina Perez has potentional and, with time, could be a great writer.

> 24 hourIts not often I read a fantasy book and enjoy it. When I first read the synopsis, I was a little worried that it was going to be `yet another vampire book. The calibre of the authoring makes this one a cut above the rest and I eagerly await the next instalment. I am recommending it to all my friends and they too are impatiently waiting for the next book to be written. The writing is superb. The author really excites the imagination, by transporting the reader to the world of the twins and the supernatural world they have been flung into. The book appeals both to young adults and adults, making it the perfect book to read and talk about together. I would recommend this book for any parent who wants to encourage their young adult to read.

> 24 hourThis was one of those books that I just could not put down. Seriously. I read it literally in ONE day. Ms. Perez took me to otherworldly places I have never been in her story. I found her story to be very original and I felt like I was right there with Jack and Violet as the story unfolded. I liked it so much that I downloaded the Kindle app on my 13 year old sons laptop so that I could re-read it WITH him. He and I are working our way through it together now and that is HUGE because he is not a big fan of reading, but he is LOVING this story! Anything that can get my son to read is an A++++ in my book! I cant wait for Book 2!!

> 24 hourI am out of order with chronological releases since I read the Sharing Spaces series first, then Blog it Out Bitch, and now this one. Every time I read a book written by Nina they get better and better for me. I love her writing style. I fall right into the rhythm, and just glide through each chapter. I am ready for the sequel to this book, for Lily in the Middle, and the sequel to Sharing Spaces RIGHT NOW! I adore Violet and Jack. I am very cautious about Ms. Sweet because you should never trust anyone named that nicely. Kalina is my favorite because vampires are awesome especially ones that wear leather. The is a great story and is family friendly for your teenager.

> 24 hourIve been reading Ninas work online for a couple of years and she is a smart, relatable writer. This book is something even I didnt realize she was capable of. While it is geared for the YA group (and I will be sharing this with my 11-year-old for certain) any adult who follows the supernatural genre will find this an easy, enjoyable read. There is a fantastic blend between mythology and current technology that I havent seen attempted in any other novel with this success. I finished it in less than a day! You will NOT be disappointed.
