Review: Dangerous Times


Dangerous Times
Dangerous Times by Phillip Frey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Dangerous Times is the story of two men from different walks of life. Their lives intertwine, which could mean danger for the both of them.

This was a really good book full of twists and turns. It was unpredictable, a detail I enjoy when reading. There were times when the added details made for boring reading. I also found myself getting lost in certain spots because of the story going back and forth. Overall, this was an enjoyable book.

Review: The Hypnotist


The Hypnotist
The Hypnotist by Lars Kepler

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



The Hypnotist is about a hypnotist who, after a ten year hiatus, hypnotizes the victim of a crime. After doing this, his life filled with twists and turns. I won this book from the first-reads author giveaway. This book was a little hard to get into at first, but I was eventually drawn into it. Sometimes there were details that could have been left out because it made for very boring reading. There is also a lot of going back and forth throughout the book. Overall, it was a pretty good read.

Review: A Reason to Kill


A Reason to Kill
A Reason to Kill by Nathaniel Tower

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



A Reason to Kill is a murder mystery told through the voices of the killer and the detective trying to catch him. I like the fact that the story is told from both perspectives. I enjoyed reading this book.

I only have two negatives about this book. The first is the fact that the reader is left hanging about certain details in the book (cannot go into detail without giving the story away. The other negative is that by the middle of the book I had already figured out who the killer is.

Overall this was a really good book. I would recommend it if you are a fan of mysteries. It is a page-turner.
