The Midnight Twins Jacquelyn Mitchard Books

Meredith and Mallory Brynn are identical twins who were born on either side of midnight on New Years Eve. While the girls think of themselves as one, they are very different. Meredith is bubbly, outgoing, and a cheerleader, while Mallory is thoughtful, independent, and plays soccer. Though they have their differences the girls share so much; dreams, experiences, and even their own private language.

On the night of their thirteenth birthday the twins are caught in a mysterious fire that nearly kills them both. The weirdest thing is that Mallory knew days before that there was going to be a fire, she just didn't know when. After the fire Mallory and Meredith are both having visions - though they are very different from each other's. The bond between them starts to decompose and the girls don't know why.

As their bond disintegrates the girls learn that they each have been given a gift, different from the other. One can see the future, the other the past. These visions will give the girls insight to some events that have been happening around town involving someone close to them. The girls feel like they sometimes know more then they should, or want to know, but it doesn't stop them from wondering if these visions are actually true and what they should do about what they see.

This was definitely an interesting read. I really liked it, but I felt like there was a lot lacking. There was so much potential for the book and I just felt like the book didn't live up to what I thought it would. The characters were a little flat and a lot of the time I couldn't tell the difference between the two girls, even though they were supposed to be so different. There were also a lot of places were the story got very confusing. I don't know if it was just me, but I felt the author was trying too hard and giving us too much information making it difficult to understand what was actually going on. However I did like the twists that the author put into the story. There were quite a few events that occurred that I really didn't see coming. I also thought that the girls' visions were really cool. It was interesting to see that one saw what was going to happen and the other saw what actually happened. The author definitely left room for a sequel, which I do hope she writes. It would be very interesting to see what Meredith and Mallory made of their "powers".

The Midnight Twins Jacquelyn Mitchard Books Reviews

The Midnight Twins sounds so much better than it actually is, however, I will still be buying the second one. I shall explain

First of all, the first half of the book is about completely useless, until the fire and the girls' 13th birthday. It was completely all over the place, and I honestly spent chapters being unaware of exactly when things were happening. That is pretty much all there is to that.

Secondly, over and over again I've heard a rule for writing that utterly makes sense Don't name your characters names that are too alike. With this I am left wondering what in the WORLD made Mitchard name her characters Merry & Mally. I understand they're twins, totally get it - I - however, am the reader and it took me a good half of the book to get used to that the names were so similar, and to learn who was speaking. It is very clear that she attempts to make their personalities different but when little things are going on, or things are happening fast, and I read a sentence with Mally & Merry in it, I often found myself reading back over the paragraph just to make sure I had the right twin. Having said that though, the characters are interesting, while they are typical twins (in relevance to most books with twins, that is) - meaning, complete opposites - they are also well thought out, described, and unique. Once you DO learn each of their voices, personalities, and traits, then it's easy to tell them apart, it just takes some time to get there.

Other than the completely useless first part of the book, and the confusion with the names, once the girls come into their powers, the book picks up and actually does quite a good job at holding interest! Once all the good stuff starts happening it's actually quite hard to put the book down, and I kept guessing just as long as the girls did about who the culprit of the fire was, and who was trying so hard to freak Mally out. It stays slightly confusing with the names, but by the end of the book I had just about gotten completely used to it. The last of The Midnight Twins defiantly makes up for the beginning - therefore, I will be buying/reading Look Both Ways (Midnight Twins #2), I really look forward to seeing how Meredith and Mallory's story continues.
