This is one twisted family tree, and it was a creepy journey to the truth behind the lies.

•Pro: A Compelling Mystery that is a little dark and creepy.

•Pro: Terry did a great job creating an eerie atmosphere in this book, which added to the overall level of tension of this tale.

•Pro: A mysterious inheritance, a secret sister, a family curse, and dark dreams held my interest in this story.

•Pro: The book had quite a few good twists and turns to keep us from guessing the truth too early.

•Con: It takes a while to hit its stride, but if you are patient, you will find the story gets better and better with each page.

•Pro: I like the alternating POV format, which employed shorter chapters and clearly showed the contrast between the two twins.

•Pro: I found the ending very interesting and though provoking. I wish I could say more, but I don't do spoilers.

•Pro: Did I mention witches and magic?

Overall: An intriguing atmospheric tale, with some interesting ideas about truth and lies, good and evil, love and family.
