—Foreword Reviews
“Family bonds create the magic in this stirring fantasy.”
—Kirkus Reviews
It’s days before your eighteenth birthday, but your mother is missing and suddenly you have supernatural powers. What are you willing to face to discover the truth of who you really are? After years of traveling the world, black identical twins Aurora and Arden think they’ve settled into normalcy in Ohio. But days before their eighteenth birthday, the snarky twins develop powers in telekinesis and telepathy―at the same time that their famous mother, who’s on tour in London, disappears. Searching for answers and determined to rescue her, the sisters unearth truths that threaten to extinguish their bond and demolish their strength as individuals. Can they trust their beguiling, newly discovered British cousins when they barely trust one another? Should they heed the warnings of their immortal grandmother, a Patoi-chatting goddess, who says she’s friendly with The Fates and can see inside a person’s very soul? In order to succeed in their quest, these goddess twins must work together, master their powers, and unveil a horrifying, century-old family mystery. Otherwise, they may not live to see eighteen―or their mother again.

Reviews for The Goddess Twins
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I wanted to enjoy this book, but it was a “show don’t tell” experience where the author wrote in a way that felt more like a movie script. As a book, this didn’t work since the plot moved too fast and dialogue was clunky. However, if it was a film, I would have enjoyed it more.
