Has anyone read this?? Tell me about it. Thanks. Someone told me about 
the title and that was all. I see it at Amazon. Apparently it is 
fiction. How much of a real secret can it be?


Sue:
I've been listening to the first 2 books in the series (there are planned to be 6).  It's been enjoyable - lots of action, some interesting characters, ...  It's definitely a kid's book, but I've never let that stop me from enjoying a story before. ;-)

It centers around 15 year old twins from contemporary San Francisco, and their interactions with a bunch of Immortals (including Nicholas and Perennelle Flamel), Elders (including Hecate) and assorted monsters and beings from a wide range of mythololgies from around the world.  I'm finding it fun, though I would not describe it as great literature.  - good escapism, maybe.

Borrow them from the library to get a taste.  I really like the reader on the audio books I've gotten out of my local library.
