Amazon.com Review
Imagine hanging out at an amusement park one day with your best buds when, out of the blue, your eyes lock with another girl whose face is identical to your own. Cam Barnes, preppy and upbeat, and Alex Fielding, cynical and tough, couldn't be more different--or more alike. When the fates (or someone else... ) bring the girls together, all illusions of their former lives are shattered. Suddenly, the strange secret each girl has always kept--Cam sees things before they happen and Alex hears people's thoughts--begins to make sense, as the girls reluctantly join forces to create a powerful, though unchallenged team. Their abilities are soon put to the test when a young superstar is kidnapped while visiting Cam's hometown.

The first book in pop writers H.B. Gilmour and Randi Reisfeld's T*Witches series introduces readers to the incredible mystery behind two almost-ordinary girls and launches headlong into the drama that unfolds as the twin/witches (t*witches) begin to develop their combined powers, in spite of evil forces lurking behind the scenes. Watch out for future titles in this exciting series. (Ages 9 to 13) --Emilie Coulter

Evan saw it first. Clarification: saw her first. On the Ol' Wagon Wheel ride. But in typical Evan-speak, he did the lame-joke thing.

"Hey, Alex," he called, leaning over the side of their creaky, swinging basket. "There's a girl two carts down who stole something from you."

Alex did a fast calculation and came up blank. Her money was in her jeans pocket. Her backpack was stashed in the gear house at the bottom of the Ferris wheel. She folded her arms across her chest, waiting for the punch line. "Okay, Ev, I'll play. What'd she steal? My Stratocaster, SUV, or cell phone?"

Evan pointed down. "Your face."

Alex rolled her eyes. "Don't quit your day job, Evan. Comedy Central is not scanning the globe for you," she said, rubbing a sudden rash of goose bumps on her arm.

Lucinda flipped around to check. "Get outta here! Alex," she shrieked. "He's right. She looks just like you--"

"Only cleaner," Evan teased.

"Could you be any less funny?" Alex challenged. But her stomach lurched nervously, or maybe it was just the cart swinging in a gust of wind. "Nobody looks like me," she declared, going along with the joke. Although--between the goose bumps and fluttery stomach--she was acting way cooler than she felt.

The first book in a thrilling new series.

But when Cam returns home, she has a nagging feeling at the back of her mind that she may be connected to Alex - that they may have been twin sisters separated at birth. A series of mysterious happenings force to girls to confront their pasts in order to discover the secret of their powers - but will they be in time? This book was the first in a thrilling new supernatural series.

An interesting new series
Camryn is a normal 14-year-old girl that's just passed through Freshman year. She considers everything about her to be normal excpet for the fact that she sometimes sees things before they happen, bad things that she dosen't want to know. Alex on the other hand has had a tough life. She lives in a trailer with her mother and has to work every day so she can pay for her "house." But the strage thing about her is she can here things that people think and don't say out loud. The only thing they have in common is something very big. THey have the same face. WHen they first meet at a fair they won't admit they look a thing like eachother but when tragedy draws them together they fidn out that they have more than they thought in common. And they may have to work together to save a missing girl.

I found this book to be entertaining. The idea of finding your mysterious double is interesting and Cam and Alex are great charecters. The story was great, and I can't wait until the next one but something was just missing to make it a 5 star book. I reccomend this series to anyone that's a fan of the Circle of Three Series, or the Witches Night out Series.

T*Witches
This seiries is one of my favorites of all time. Funny and witty, the authors posses a special talent to make you like these characters.
If you are looking for a book about Wiccans, I wouldn't reccomend this book. This book is more of a traditional book about witches.
Camryn Barnes and Alexandra Feilding live in oppisite worlds. Alex lives with her single mother in a trailer, and her mother has cancer. Cam lives in a whole other state with her mother, father and brother. Cam is popular and athletic, a pretty girl with a streak of perfection. Alex is punky and sarcastic, and has great friends-all two of them. She has streaks too-blue ones, in her hair!
There are only a few things they share-their face,and their magical powers.
They're twins.
It's quite a shock to them too. When Alex's mother dies, she goes to live with Cam's family. There, in Marble Bay, a teen Britney-like diva called Marleigh Cooper (who's #1 hit song is Whoops Was that Me?) was kidnapped.
It's up to them to use their powers to solve a mystory of Marleigh-and their parents!
I loved this book. It may seem vauge about their parents, but the identity of the parents is supposed to be a mystery. So go read this book!
