5.0 out of 5 stars ACTION-PACKED!! December 31, 2011

By Books4Tomorrow

Format:Kindle Edition

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 Fritz)

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, Wonderful! December 3, 2011

Danger, Danger starts with a bang and continues along at a breakneck, action-filled pace. It's the story of two young women whose lives are eerily parallel, and why wouldn't they be? They are, after all, twins separated at birth.
Danger, Danger has action, romance, blackmail, fraud and mystique. It's sure to please anyone who loves a fast-paced book that contains all of the above and more. The editing is tight, and the writing is good. Ms. McCullough knows how to reveal her characters in bits and pieces without infodump and how to paint a vivid picture with words. The city of Belfast comes alive under Ms. McCullough's skilled hand.
I'm not going to spoil the conclusion, which revealed some surprises, but suffice it to say that it was very satisfying. I'll definitely read more of Ms. McCullough's work and highly recommend Danger, Danger as a great, sure-to-please read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thriller Thriller December 5, 2011

By Gordon Kuhn

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Gerry McCullough is an accomplished writer with an incredible ability. She sets a small hook and reels her readers in with an ever widening story that is very fast paced and definitely far from being boring. It begins with a birth of twins separated at birth by circumstances which are very poignant. Therein lies the tasty hook. Then comes the story of the two girls lives and the hook is set. It begins slowly, in small slices, and builds drawing in more and more bits and pieces that keep the story not only fresh for the reader but constantly growing, moving forward, speeding up, and demanding your attention. Two lives, separated at birth, both involved with manipulative lovers, both caught up in a series of events unlike anything they personally would have ever ventured into on their own except for the men they love. Should they trust them? Is love worth the personal and professional risk each is called upon to risk? They each must decide. The book is sprinkled with sensuous highlights and does an excellent job of describing locations without overkill. Excellent! Highly recommended! An excellent investment for your bookshelf and it would make a wonderful Christmas present for any reader you might know, but most definitely for those who treasure well written mysteries with a bit of sexuality tossed in as desert. You don't want to miss this treat.
