The book cover for "The Twelve" by Joey Graceffa features two young women standing side-by-side against a mystical, starry night sky. The woman on the left has long, dark wavy hair and wears a deep purple dress, with crackling white lightning arcing around her. The woman on the right has long, blonde wavy hair and wears a light blue dress, surrounded by swirling, translucent water effects. Centered behind them is a large, ornate golden zodiac wheel that frames a dark, glowing castle perched on a distant cliffside. The title, THE TWELVE, is displayed in large, silver metallic lettering with sharp, crystalline edges, while the tagline at the bottom reads, "WELCOME TO THE ZODIAC COVEN," set against a dark, reflective sea.
“The Twelve” by Joey Graceffa

Internet phenom and multi-hyphenate Joey Graceffa has just published his latest book, The Twelve, and it’s a YA page-turner. If your connection to horoscopes is occasionally reading yours online or in the newspaper, you have a nodding acquaintance with aspects of each natal sign.

When you learn, in the world that Graceffa has created, that each year there is one witch born for each Zodiac sign, then your interest may be piqued. When you discover that each at different points will have her individual special power awaken, some in childhood and some in teen years, the plot thickens. When fraternal twins Serena and Ophelia are born on a cusp, one Pisces, one Aries, you’ll be in too deep to stop.

This is a battle where the Twelve are training and fighting for the victory of light over darkness, of course. But overusing one’s powers for good can turn one Dark — and is there any return from that darkness?

You’ll need to read it to find out.

Looking for a good book for your commute or your next trip? Adults can read YA books too, and our greater understanding of how good and evil can coexist adds a bit of extra depth. You’ll find this book where new books are sold. Check it out and see how twin powers unite and the fate of Ophelia.
