Life is about discovery. Discovering who we are and who we
can become by setting goals. But what happens when events
or people greatly impact how we view ourselves -- our worth?
Our lives can take a decidedly different path than we
would have initially planned. Twins are extraordinary
people in many ways, oftentimes content in being the second
half of a whole and sharing a special unique bond. But
there are other times when twins take extraordinary
measures to become their own unique person. In TWINS we
meet two sets of twins, neither identical, and their
differences are what essentially cause great riffs in their
relationship to each other.
The birth story of Charles and Jason was traumatic and
tragic with their mother dying during childbirth. Her death
devastated their father Elliot and he became a most tragic
figure himself. Consumed with grief he struck out in a most
irrational way by alienating the second twin, Charles,
whose unexpected birth caused the mother's death. Jason and
Charles had a special wonderful natural bond made all the
stronger by Charles' early acknowledgment of his brother's
problems and with their twin communication he alone could
and would help Jason cope. But Elliot was so lost in his
hatred he purposely separated the boys whenever possible
leaving one child confused and distraught over why he was
cast aside and the other son equally disturbed by feelings
of abandonment of the brother he so greatly needed. Hurt and
betrayal ultimately led to distrust and the chasm between
Charles and Jason seemed almost impossible to bridge. Only
a miracle or disaster could ever bring them together but
getting them to trust each other would take even greater
steps.
Brooke and Melanie are the second set of twins with an
equally dysfunctional relationship borne of insecurities
and misunderstandings that would ultimately make them
distrustful and distant. But when Melanie becomes the
latest victim of this crazed rapist/murderer and survives,
the twins are forced to reexamine their pasts and face some
harsh truths about the relationship they abandoned so many
years ago. Sometimes an innocent remark can become the
catalyst for bitter feelings especially when the recipient
of the comment is already having self doubts and
insecurities.
The lives of these two sets of twins are
entwined throughout this masterful telling of a serial
murder spree seeming to randomly target beautiful women.
Two sets of twins with sad destructive pasts desperately in
need of love. We are instantly drawn into the drama and it
does not let up till the very end.
This is a reissue of one of Katherine stone's books
targeting the eBook market. Love, hate, fear, and betrayal,
what more can a reader ask for? A signature Stone work.
Love, passion, danger, and betrayal amid the glitter of
Manhattan...
Brooke and Melanie Chandler are sisters and twins. But they
could not be more different. Brooke is a serious, driven,
ambitious New York City prosecutor. Melanie is a golden,
glamorous, sophisticated supermodel.
The twins were close, once upon a time, until the realities
of life - and their differences - tore them apart. Women
now, they are both living in Manhattan, pursuing their
careers, and falling in love; complicated pursuits, for both
of them. And they are wondering, too, if the closeness they
once shared would be possible again...or if jealousy,
separation, bitterness, and betrayal have irrevocably
shattered the bond.
The wishes of their hearts are perilous enough - but there
is true danger, an obsessed killer who has them in his
sights.
