Bianca and Leila are biracial, Iranian and Argentinian. They are polar opposites. Leila wants to "fit in" and avoids her heritage while Bianca embraces it fully. On their eighteenth birthday a "random" fire in a barn causes the twins lives to be thrown into chaos as djinns cause issue in their hometown. The twins must set aside their differences and work together to save their hometown.

Being a twin myself I am such a sucker for twin books, I really enjoyed the fact both of the twins are very different, most of the time we are. Bianca was probably my favorite of the two, but I really liked Leila too and understood why she acted how she did. The audio was done VERY well, and I really enjoyed hearing how the names/places were properly pronounced. I think the narrator did a fantastic job.

I think this YA novel is great for anyone who enjoys a multi- cultural action-packed adventure where family and community is important.
