Goodreads Synopsis
“Why'd Mama hate us so much, Tyler?" My head rested on his chest and his arms came around me. Tyler looked out across the tracks at the train station as we waited to find a train headin’ north and he sighed. It reverberated in his chest and into my heart."
"I don't know Lilybelle. Can't say why Mama’d love us one day, and hate on us the next. We just gotta find our way outta here and we'll be okay. I won't let nothin' happen to you."
"Twins Lily and Tyler are bound together by a bond forged through an abusive childhood that neither can escape, and a closeness that defies explanation. No matter how far they run, the pain of their mother's abuse will still be there. Choosing to run fast and far from their mother, the twins head to Charleston, South Carolina, but everything is not what it seems, and they soon realize they may be in even more danger."
"Having never been exposed to the light of the moon before, Lily sneaks out and dramatically changes into something that both fascinates and scares her. She has visions of a world she's never heard of, and her body changes over night. Desperate to escape the twins devise a plan, but are thwarted at the last minute."
"With only each other to rely on they've got to embrace who they are, and ultimately, the destiny that has been written for them."
"Set on Earth, and Amatia Prime, The Sword and The Prophet is the first book in a series that will introduce you to a fascinating new species that loves once, loves deep, and fights for who and what they are against any evil. With scarred hearts, Lily and Tyler must learn what it feels like to be truly loved."
My Review
Tyler and Lillybelle are twins who just wants to know why their mother would love them one day and then right out of the blue just stop loving them. One day their mother was very loving and kind. She would sit and hold Lillybelle and brush her hair for hours. Then she started to hit them and scream at them all the time for no real good reason. At the age of fifteen they left their mother's house in search of their Aunt and Uncle on thier fathers side.
When they find their Aunt and Uncle, Tyler and Lillybelle are very relieved. Their Aunt and Uncle are very nice and sweet people. They seem very appalled at the way their mother treated them. But Tyler over hears them talking and finds out that something is wrong, very wrong. He wakes Lillybelle and tells her they have to leave now.
Lillybelle and Tyler set out on their own not knowing where their going or what they are going to do. People are chasing them and they don't know who they are or what they want with them. Why would anyone want to hurt Lillybelle and Tyler? They are a very loving species who love deeply. I loved how their species felt about their mates, how strong their love for one another was. Although Lillybelle and Tyler were brother and sister they still had a very close relationship. Even with just friends they loved with their whole heart.
The Sword and The Prophet is one of those books that is going to stick with me for years to come. One that I can't seem to get out of my head. You know its like when you get a song in your head and keep hearing it over and over and over. That is how this book has been for me. Instead of a song stuck in my head there's a book stuck in my head.
Needless to say I loved how the writer portrayed the characters emotions and feelings. Especially the way that they feel about their mates. It is very well written it flowed along at an extremely fast paced. It left you always wondering what is going to happen next. I can't wait to read the next book The Prophet of Dreams.
