Balefire, Cate Tiernan

Thais and Clio are twin sisters separated at birth and reunited as at 17. Thais has had a pretty average upbringing being raised by her single father she had a really stable life, until the day her dad dies and leaves her in the care of a very strange woman that she has never met before. She is relocated to New Orleans and she hates every thing about it, everything except Luc. On her first day of school she runs into Clio and exact mirror image of herself, and that's when things get really weird in her life.
Clio was raised by her grandmother and had always known her heritage as a witch, she is practicing her craft, getting ready for her right of accession, and having a good time with Andre. Thais enters the picture causing all kinds of questions and the answers only lead to more questions. The biggest one being who is trying to kill them?

Spoiler alert, I am not planning on giving away anything but each person is different when it come to what spoils a book for them so I will just say that from here on I am giving more details.

Thais meets a boy pretty quickly and falls in love with him, she is starting to really love her heritage as a witch but she believes that her father was murdered in order to bring her to New Orleans. After a lot of weird accidents that were nearly deadly she and Clio decide to ask some questions of Thais guardian, they find out that she is immortal as well as several other characters and that they need the girls to recreate a rite that was performed 252 year earlier. The girls would become immortal like them but no one is saying what else would happen and why they are so eager for this rite. The last time the rite was performed someone died. Clio has also met and fallen in love with a boy and things are moving at a pretty fast pace for her when she and Thais both find out that their boys are not who they thought. There is a lot of drama in this book of the boy variety, but it was done in a fun way. the mystery of who is trying to kill them and why the rite is so important is a little weak but it holds your interest until the end. The author really tries to redeem Thais love interest in the book but I was left feeling like he was just a self serving jerk that would never learn. Over all it was a fun read. I love this author and have read all of her other books. Which are Sweep 1, 2, &3. And Immortal Beloved. Immortal Beloved is my latest all time favorite book!!
