REVIEWED BY NEV
A copy of Gemini: A
Psychological Horror was sent to Confessions of a Reviewer by the authors,
Stuart Keane and Matt Hickman, in exchange for an honest review. This is said
review. This book is published by Stuart Keane.
So, Stuart Keane is a proven extremely talented author.
Matt Hickman is really on the opening part of his journey as an author but from
what I have seen, and from what others are saying, will shortly be a proven
extremely talented author.
What happens when they collaborate on something though?
Will it do either of them harm or will it fit together like an expertly cut
jigsaw puzzle? Gemini is our chance
to find out. Collaborations, from my experience, can be a hit or miss thing. I
have read a few that have been superb but I have also read a few that, quite
frankly, should never have been produced. I always get a bit nervous about
reading them purely from the point of view that if the authors have two very distinct
styles of writing, they may not gel. To me, reading a story where the styles
are very prominent, and it is not too difficult to tell them apart, just ruins
it for me.
So how do these two fare? Let’s find out.
Odette has managed to bag one of those all too rare
afternoons off. Not through choice either which makes it even better. Time to
go surprise her fella, Gavin, with a bottle of wine and some new lingerie.
As it turns out though, Gavin is the one who is going to
be doing the surprising. Especially when he awkwardly introduces his new
friend, Shay.
What looks like being the Battle Royale between two newly
sworn enemies turns into a mutual respect and love of all things brutal.
A challenge has been set. There can be only one winner.
