Summary: Eh...
Review: Cam and Alex are just adjusting to being sisters, and to being witches. Their powers are new but powerful and will take a while to be controlled. And when they're faced with a new problem they realize that their brush with death won't be their last. When Ilena comes to town (undercover) she warns the two witches about a powerful messenger witch coming and looking for them. Cam and Alex need to find out who this is but their esially distracted. Their 15th birthday party is coming up, a new girl at school as clung to Alex in a strangely embarressing way, a new teacher proves to be less than nice, and Alex just can't adjust to her new life. SHe misses her mother and cannot fit in with Cam's friends. But when a new boy comes to school something about him draws her attention towards him. But little dose she know this new kid has a secret that no one would ever guess.

This book had good points and bad points. THe story line was interesting and thrilling but the authors torchured it but filling up the dialog with unreal teen speak that no self respecting 14 (and 15) year old would dare use. The girls powers are interesting but they use it far too many times in front of mortals without them noticing. Cam and Alex are interesting charecters but you find yourself wishing that Ilena would get hit by a bus. Her selfishness from the last book has grown in ridiculous porportions. ANd the ending, while orginal and exciting, is toatally predictable. THis book could have been great but it's not. It's a quick read that fans of the series should read but nothing more. I will read the next book in the series in hope that it's better (and it looks much more interesting) but I don't reccomend this book to anyone but fans of the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An unknown enemy....
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The thrilling second book in the T*Witches series.
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Review: 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?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cam and Alex past
Review: In this book we find out a little bit about the twins past and we also get into how the Barnes feel about Alex. Also Cam and Alex are trying to get used to each other but that seems kinda hard when you weren't raised with someone that looks like you. Also, Alex's new boyfriend has a dark secret. What is it?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Book
Review: 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!
