Mortal Coils is a great book - just got it yesterday and finished it last night since it's a very fast read despite its 600+ pages length. Not sure if it will be released as an ebook, but print or e, it's worth getting it.

I put a minireview on Goodreads:

"It has two twin fifteen year old protagonists, the twins Fiona and Eliot whose parentage is not usual.

The elder by ten minutes, Fiona is the cool, composed leader and when her special characteristics start manifesting, it's not surprising they include martial abilities. Eliot is gentler and that is also manifested in his supernatural abilities.

The book flows so well that the pages turn by themselves and you really want the twins to succeed in their "trials" and find their place between the two clans of supernatural beings they belong to by blood. Of course they may be that "new" thing that both clans are scared of since after all the Gods destroyed their predecessors the Titans "some time" ago, or they may be just regular mortals, or..."
