Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink 339 p.

Very atmospheric, gothic tale of twin sisters for teen readers doesn't quite live up to its potential. Lia and Alice Milthorpe have just become orphans and have very different ways of dealing with their grief. They find themselves on opposite sides of an ancient prophecy -- the old battle of good versus evil set in nineteenth century New York. Lia, the "good girl" discovers a strange tattoo on her wrist shortly after her father's death. She finds new friends to help in the battle against her selfish sister, Alice.
