A review by mrfrank
Shades by Brian Keene, Geoff Cooper

3.0

Brian Keene delves into Fantasy with Geoff Cooper in SHADES. Either a long novella or short novel, SHADES is a straight forward fantasy tale with the trademark Brian Keene touch. A great read for adults and very accessable for younger readers this would be a great way for parents who enjoy Brian Keene to introduce their kids to his work.

This is the first Keene collaboration I've read as well. I must say it felt seamless. I couldn't much tell where Keene was writing as opposed to Cooper. There are parts of each's literary world woven into the story but knowedge of either or is absoultely unnecessary. If anything the story peaks my interest in further exploring Cooper's work which I have not yet read any of.

So the review will be as short and sweet as this darkish fantasy story. Read it, it's solid.
