I don't know that I can do the first review for this book justice. With my moniker, I think that I need to give a heads up that the sisters have "senses", better known as psychics or mediums. There are explicit parts and one is lesbian. For me, the book moved a bit slowly, as the story repeatedly went back in time, sometimes very long-winded memories. When she reached the climax of the last 100 pages, though, I was invested. I felt as though I knew all of the characters. The story was unusual. It wasn't just about the senses or the earthquake prediction, but how well do identical twins know each other. That bond that the rest of us find interesting. I waver between 3 and 4 stars, so if you are interested in this book, I would recommend it.
