From School Library Journal

Grade 6–9—In this sequel to Midnight Twins (Razorbill, 2008), 14-year-old Meredith and Mallory are still getting used to their gifts: Merry can see the past and Mally can see the future. The story is told from both of their perspectives. Mally sees a vision of a white lion swiping a cheerleader's shoes. She tells her vision to Merry, who later witnesses a cheerleader injured and hospitalized. The shoes had been sabotaged. As Merry tries to find the culprit, Mally tries to figure out who or what the white lion is. She is also worried about her friend Eden, a junior who is secretly seeing a college guy. Eden, a Cree, invites Mally to a tribal powwow, where she meets Eden's younger brother, who is visiting from prep school. She is instantly attracted to Cooper, who explains about the significance of the white lion in his tribe. Can Mally help Eden make the right choice about her relationship? Can Merry find the culprit before the next cheerleading tryouts? The plot is predictable and the characters are clichés; however, the Native American cultural elements breathe fresh life into what is otherwise standard teen chick-lit fare.—Samantha Larsen Hastings, West Jordan Public Library, UT

From Booklist

If kids haven’t read the first book in the Midnight Twins series featuring Merry and Mallory (one can see the future; the other can look into the past), no problem. There’s lots and lots of backstory here, though it’s rather awkwardly written. In fact, there’s lots of awkward writing and plenty of flat characters here, which is surprising considering Mitchard’s reputation in the adult field. Still, the mix of prophetic visions and dreams, friends in dire straits, and cheerleading tryouts will keep some readers turning pages, and the good news is, nobody is a vampire (at least not yet). Grades 7-10. --Ilene Cooper
