Prophecy of the Sisters by: Michelle Zink

Summary:She is your best friend, she is your worst enemy, but worst of all....she is your twin sister. As you grew older, she stopped being your best friend. She was only your enemy and your sister. You separated as the Guardian and the Gate. One evil. One god. But you can't stop destiny, you can't stop fate - you just have to let it happen the way it is supposed to. As you remain clueless, somehow she is gaining power and when the final battle comes, one of you will have to destroy the other. Good or Evil, the Guardian or the Gate, both cannot roam together - only one can survive. But how much sacrifice will it take, how many lives, how many friendships, how much family? This is life for Lia and Alice Milthorpe.

Review: Everybody's heard of stories where your bitterest rival is a fatal one that could cost the world. That your best friend will turn against you, but your family will always be there. I liked this book because it stayed away from the obvious, the things that everybody would expect to happen. You could tell that one sister was having a hard time giving up on the other, will the twin was plotting ways to kill you. The action was like a weaving loom - weaved in and out of the story. It took me about 2 days to finish the book because every second I could spare was devoted to reading the book. That's how you know if you are reading a book you like - you just can't seem to put it down. The hardest part for the twins was losing their parents. After that things just couldn't get worse - right? Wrong. They were given a prophecy and turned against each other. I don't have any siblings, but I can imagine the pain they must have been feeling to have suddenly found out something that seemed unrealistic.
