One died—or did he?
About The Book: The ever fascinating Strigoi saga concludes with
Marek and his trusted second-in-command, Bogdan Strigoi, paying homage to their
dead by making one last visit to the family castel. At the crypt, they are horrified
to discover the infant, long considered dead, is indeed alive. Between quick
thinking on Marek’s part and Dan’s talent with research into the old ways, the
two revive the baby, then name him Janos after his father. Little do the two—actually
three—men understand what they have opened themselves to: raising a rapidly
growing second species from infancy to full adulthood within the space of weeks—skipping
the requisite steps which include learning coping and other basic life skills, maturation
and education not only of themselves but of the world around them. With humor
and common sense they all cope and thrive—and conclude with the beginning of a
new generation of Strigois.
Our Review: Author Tony-Paul de Vissage has created a multi-tome
saga, bringing a family unit, decimated by tragedy and injustice, to well-deserved
and hard-earned prosperity and success. Along the way, the characters, each
different and multi-layered, entertain and teach us and each other about the
concept of family—chosen either by blood or by choice. And after all, in the
end it is always family.
On a scale of 1-5, The Shadow
Twin deserves an 8.
