The Book of Lies

Quinn is at her mother's funeral, but no one knows her.  She's covered her distinctive red hair so she won't stand out.  She's not even sure why she's there.  It's not as if Isobel was ever much of a mother to her.  Quinn has spent her life in the country with a strict grandmother and occasional visits from a disapproving mother.  But then from the back of the room, she sees her--another girl with the same fiery red hair.  Does Quinn have a sister?

Piper is at the center of love and support from her family and friends at her mother's funeral.  She and her father will have to support each other now, and, of course, she has Zak, her beautiful and adoring boyfriend, but Piper wants more.  Then she sees her--the girl in the red coat at the back of the room.  Her hair is covered by a scarf, and Piper only glimpses her face, but that's all it takes.  Piper would know that face anywhere.  It's identical to her own.  Her twin has made an appearance at the funeral.

Twins.  Separated at birth because of some vision from their grandmother that one would destroy the other...something about being half dark.  Now they are together, and the truth is going to come out.

I was excited to read this book first because the cover is awesome and next because I saw it was written by Teri Terry, author of Slated.  It started out great and then started to lag.  It was never enough that stopped reading, but it did take me a couple of weeks to get through this one.  I think part of the problem is the alternating narrative.  Piper and Quinn have different parts of the backstory to contribute, but otherwise their voices are very similar.  I think Terry was afraid of giving away too much too soon, but she ended up with two characters without much personality.
