This book keeps you on the edge of your seat.

From seventh grader Stacey: When Apolla and Artmeis, aka Cam and Alex, were born, their father was killed by his own brother. Tantos, their uncle, knows how powerful their power is and wants to take advantage of them. They are put into separate homes in which Illana and Karsh, their protectors, will keep them safe. The twins finally meet a few months before their 15th birthday, and their power is unreal. They are very powerful but are they powerful enough to beat Tantos?

my fav of the series

Ok, to say it simply this book was byond awesome! A quick review of it goes like this:Cam and Alex are now livin together learning how to do the 'sisterly' thing. Everyone gets along well especially Dylan and Alex there seems to be a strong sibling bond between thim and Alex and Emily dont get along to well, emily blames alex for dylan 'stunts'. They meet up with Thantos (or Sot Naht) messenger, (but I wont tell u who it is) (I'll tell u its easy to figure out, I hads this person pinned since the 1-3 appearence!) Poor Beth feels left out and resents alex, and Ileana and Khash (spelling?) have a heart melting/warming talk at the end and it's seriously sad!! =( Ok, I told u as much as I could. It's really a great book, my fav of the 3!

Nice Job!

I think it is so wrong that the third book will only be 160 pages. Wrong. I loved the last two so much. Cade...mmm mmm good! You can totally tell Alex has a crush. When is Camryn going to get with the pizza guy, Jason? This book is kinda sad when you hear about their parents. And Camryns friends bug!

An unknown enemy....

Cam and Alex have learned the truth about their pasts, and who their real parents are. Alex, who has had to move from her place since her mother died, is learning to adjust to Cam's school and her house, but tensions within her are rising for her mother's death. But it seems that the evil Thantos, who murdered their real parents, is out to get them again -- either to use their powers for evil, or destroy the twins. They know Thantos has sent a messenger to get them, only they don't know who this messenger is -- they can't suspect everyone they meet. But there's the lure of Cade, the new kid at school, he seems to be very secretive. Cam and Alex need to get to the bottom of the mystery, if they can survive the evil that surrounds them -- and the forces conspiring to get them. T*Witches #2: Building A Mystery is a great second book in this magical new series. I thought the first book was a little dull, but the second book was very exciting -- and kept me turning the pages throughout.

The thrilling second book in the T*Witches series.

Fourteen-year-olds Camryn and Alexandra discovered they were identical twin witches, separated at birth, by accident. But fate has conspired to keep them together, as they discover that together their powers are stronger than apart. Now that Alex's adoptive mother has died, she has been given a home with Cam's wealthy adoptive parents in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Alex, raised in poverty in rural Montana, feels out of place among her sister's friends and classmates. Not only that, but they have received a warning from their guardian, Ileana, that a minion of Thantos's has entered their lives, disguised as a friend. Now their very lives are in danger, if they do not find out who that person is. Cam suspects Cade, the new boy that Alex has a crush on. Cade does seem to be hiding a secret, but could he really be evil, and planning to hand the twins over to Thantos? All readers who enjoyed the first book in the T*Witches series will want to read this one. I can't wait until the third book, Seeing is Deceiving, is released.
