REVIEW
As this story starts with a bang and
never quite let’s up on the tension, it will hook you right from the beginning
and keep you spell bound until you have read the very last sentence. This
suspense laden and exciting tale takes the reader to the back streets and pubs
of Belfast, Northern Ireland; to the wealthy homes of the same city and away to
Switzerland - as well as into a Swiss bank. Drug dealing, theft and black mail
are key elements in this highly addictive book.
The name of the book, “Danger Danger”,
gives you a good idea of what it has in store for you. Two women -
identical twins, both with values and moral standards which keep them from
falling too deep into the world of crime - are willing to go to great lengths
to help the men in their lives. The men however, do not have that many
scruples...
I was extremely impressed with the
characters. The twins, though identical, each have their own unique
personality - one a truly gentle person who will sacrifice a great deal for
others; and the other, less gullible. The men, both very unsavory
characters, also have a surprise for the reader in store.
While reading this book, I was on
the edge of my seat, turning the pages as fast as I can. The vivid descriptions
of action scenes are so skillfully done that I found myself chewing my nails to
the quick and starting each chapter in breathless anticipation. The
romance that is weaved into the story lends it a sweetness and gentleness which
I found really appealing and charming.
“Danger Danger” is the perfect read
when looking for a book that will get your adrenaline pumping. This beautiful,
action-filled novel deserves every one of its 5 stars!
ELLEN’S star rating: 5/5
