Mandy McKinney lives the charmed life. She is beautiful, athletic, popular, dating the hottest jock in school, and certainly doesn't have any time for her loser twin sister. But Mandy also has a secret. When the truth is unveiled, her world is twisted upside down, and her very life is at stake.
Mandy's twin sister, Brianna, has never had any success in the dating department. When Brianna finally meets the guy of her dreams, it turns out that he has secrets of his own. Dangerous secrets. Just her luck.
The twins are about to be swept away into a world of beauty and power beyond their wildest imaginations where nothing is what is seems, danger is lurking in the shadows, and their only chance of survival is finding themselves, and each other, once again.

I love the cover of this novel, it's what caught my attention in the first place. It's beautiful and captivating and really makes you think "MAGIC"!
Brianna and Mandy are twins with magic (their mom's a witch, duh!) but Mandy inherited a great deal of power while Brianna just got a spark. The twins are the complete opposite of each other; Mandy has it all: looks, popularity, athleticism, and boys, while Brianna is just your ordinary typical girl. Jealousy is bound to happen, and it does.
The girls may be polar opposites of each other, but in reality they're not that different. Brianna may be jealous of Mandy, but she is quite content with her life and yet she can't help but want a little of what Mandy has and Mandy, knowing she uses her magic to appear beautiful and obtain everything she has, starts to question if everything in her life is actually real or a product of her magic.
The relationship between the two sisters was strained and most of the time I was hoping to see them reconnect and forgive each other but at the same time I wanted to smack both girls on the head as well. But as the story progressed, I enjoyed how both sister realize that magic doesn't make life better (Yay!). From here on they try to learn to work together,with a little help of some friends, and it's a blast! I loved watching both girls find the right guy and fall in love, it was sweet and romantic! I felt like both girls deserved happiness and I was glad they found it.
This book conveys the message that just because something is perfect, doesn't mean it isn't broken. It is a novel of finding your strength, learning to love yourself and finding love and it's a book that I think everybody, especially those in highs cool and college, should read!
