The governor of Texas is a client of Paul’s but now wants to kill Cass because … well I don’t think the story ever says why Cass needs to die. So for starters the entire plot is pretty ridiculous. Then the two run off to hide from the goons trying to now kill Cass. Thankfully Paul’s customer Kilo, a mercenary for hire with a strange loyalty to druggie hooker Paul, shows up and he and Cass get it on immediately. Unable to revive Paul and scared to call the police, Cass is at a loss what to do. He promises to tell Cass everything once he’s shot some heroin but dies on the bathroom floor from a bad batch while Cass is in the shower. Paul has gotten himself into some real trouble and he refuses to talk about it sober. Things start to go wrong almost immediately as Cass gets nearly accosted in the airport restroom and his twin isn’t happy to see him at all. His twin brother, Paul, lives there and although the two are estranged Cass can’t think of anywhere else to go. But as soon as the flaws are noticed, I think it’s a downhill ride to an unsatisfying finish unfortunately.Ĭass found his current boyfriend in bed with his female best friend so he hopped a plane from England back home to Texas. It’s certainly an attention grabber and I think for those readers that are instantly engaged and absorbed, the flaws may not matter. To accept the sequence of actions and villains in the plot, the good guys don’t come across so well. I can get behind a book that needs considerable suspension of disbelief, but Gemini stretches it too far.

It’s a shoot ‘em up action style story with a lot of hot sex but the actual plot is convoluted and totally unbelievable. This is kind of a weird book that I’m not sure how to characterize.
