Publisher Description
Have you ever felt someone look over your shoulder when you’re alone? Have you ever heard a disembodied voice shout your name in an empty room? If so, you’ve met the Shadow People.
Fraternal twins Paris and Alexandra Fox have. In fact they can see them. Who are these people and what do they want? Could it have something to do with their recently deceased parents?
The book Shadow Games plunges the twins into a sub-world ruled by Shadows and an adventure they never would have anticipated. Along the way they find their life partners and must act to protect them. But they must discover the secret their father hid. Their lives depend upon it.
Customer Reviews
A fresh idea and a good read
The lovey-dovey parts are a bit slushy, but the plot unfolds at a good pace and it's an enjoyable read. It is an interesting concept and it's got potential for sequels. Yes I'd recommend it, and I'm going to buy the next in the series.
If you can read this invisible review, you are obviously one of the shadow people.
Good concept, middling delivery
The concept of shadow people is great, and the book could have used this to have been a great read. The writing though was clumsy. Maybe it's just me, but I find it artificial when brothers and sisters refer to each other constantly as 'sis' and 'brother dear'. Over use of sentiment and darling and similar when the story just didn't need it. I found that the prose was such that I skip read to pick the bones of the story out from the superfluous padding. The author has a good concept, but the delivery needs some work. A concept is not enough to carry a book, and I therefore have no desire to read the next book.

Very weak totally one dimensional characters . Idea for story was great but execution and story line were dismal
