Carmen Blalock's Reviews > Dangerous Times

In life we make decision on a daily basis. Some of those decisions benefit us and some of those decisions could have been thought through a little better, but ultimately we made the best decision we thought at the time. What would happen if our decision was based on the actions of others, would the outcome be different or would you make the same decision? Should you throw caution to the wind just because it is someone else pulling the strings or should you still use a level head and make the best decision for the most positive outcome?

Frank and Ty has come up with a plan to get her uncle back but all the while Frank has a plan of his own that doesn't involve Ty.

Dangerous Times is a thriller. The various characters have a six degree of separation situation because their paths are all intertwined and they don't even know that they are trying to obtain the same goal for the same person. I enjoy the suspense in this novel and the interaction of the characters and I would love to see them come again in another novel. I am definitely looking forward to reading more from Phillip Frey in the future. Dangerous Times is available for purchase through Amazon.com (Kindle only), BN.com (Nook only), Smashwords (various downloadable editions) and the authors website: http://www.phillipfrey.com/.
