Mortal Coils

This book has definitely piqued my interest.

Nothing interesting ever happened to fifteen-year-old orphans Eliot and Fiona while they’ve lived in the strict, oppressive household of their grandmother. A chance visit, however, reveals that there is much more to the twins. They are the offspring of a goddess and Lucifer, Prince of Darkness.

Now, to settle the epic custody battle between these two families, the fallen angels create three diabolical temptations, and the gods fashion three heroic trials to test Eliot and Fiona. More than ever they need to stick together to survive and to learn how to use their budding supernatural abilities . . . for family allegiances are ever-shifting in the ancient, secret world they have entered.

Hmmmmm. It kinda has a Harry Potter feel to me. And since I love Harry Potter. (Snape I was so wrong about you) I'm going to pick this one up. The two kids are such wiseasses. Literally. They're genuises. The dialogue is fun to read and the rules crack me up. The book is over 600 pages but from I've read so far the pages fly by. Mr. Nylund has the first chapters on his website (http://www.ericnylund.net/) and the book hit stores today.
