“Twinz”, written by J.C. Laurens, is the story of billionaire Steven Yates, Chairman and CEO of a company called RLSD, a multinational military arms conglomerate. Yates’s world seems perfect but everything changes when his daughter Sari is kidnapped. In order to save Sari from her untimely death, Yates has 72 hours to give up his stock worth over four billion dollars. Warned by the kidnappers not to contact the police, Yates confides to his close friend instead, retired General Hershall Bullock, to investigate the abduction. Does it involve Yates’s twin sons Mark and Evan or Sari’s twin sister Stephanie? What is exactly the real intention of the abduction? Who is behind this plan?

If you are an avid reader of mystery novels, J.C. Laurens’s "Twinz" is the book for you! It is interesting to note that this is the author’s first book but it definitely has all the ingredients needed to make this mystery novel a terrific read. It is action-packed with excellent pace and an intriguing cast of characters. The unveiling of the truth behind the kidnapping is undeniably heart pounding. It has a seamless plot and the excitement is consistent. The twists and turns of the story never fail to surprise the reader and the ending will definitely make you want to curse not because it is misleading and thus disappointing, but because it is unpredictable and smartly written. Laurens is a brilliant storyteller. This novel is the work of a writer who certainly has a story to tell. "Twinz" is riveting; a page-turner and an impressive first novel!
