The Twin Prophecies: Rebirth

I 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.

Ive 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.

This was a great book. At the end it left me yearning for more. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though Im a little past the YA standards in age. LOL! But thats ok, Im passing it on to my teens & tweens, because Im sure theyll love it as much as I did!

I thought this book was nicely written, and the story line was ok, but the book suffered from lack of character development. I think it could have been about 100 pages longer, and the author could have gone a little more slowly when introducing the main characters. I felt that they were pretty one dimensional. I didnt particularly care when the climax occurred, mostly because I didnt particularly care about the protagonists. However, the basic premise is pretty fun and the concept has series potential for sure. I didnt *love* it, but it wasnt BAD, and the writing was actually decent. Kudos to the authoress for trying something new, I wish her luck, and hope this review is taken in the spirit it is intended, ie, an honest opinion, with no motive other than impartial feedback.

In 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.

Though it was geared towards a YA crowd I found myself caught up in the story line and truly disappointed when the book ended. I cant wait for the sequel! Jack and Violet are teenage characters that could turn into typical stereotypes but they retain a reality and likability throughout the book. The use of vampires, werewolves, fairies, witches and warlocks was smartly underdone to let the reader get to learn about the backstory of the teens. You know the other beings are there but they dont overshadow. Their supernatural abilities are brought to the foreground at the end, when the reader is comfortable with their presence. I cant wait to see how the next book develops everyone.
