I have been eagerly awaiting a new book by Author Gerry McCullough, having read and enjoyed her marvelous debut novel Belfast Girls.
The new book exceeded my expectations. The story of twins separated at birth is not new…what is new is Author McCulloughs marvelous interpretation of parallel lives.
The emotional intensity of the characters is beautifully drawn. You care for these people. I turned the pages rapidly eager to learn more of their lives, their loves and their fear.
This book is a thriller, the action is fast paced, the depth of characterization mesmerizing and highly visual.
Author Gerry McCullough serves us a feast with this book.
The women in this work come from utterly different backgrounds and it is a measure of this authors talent that both Katie in her working class world and her twin Annie the high flying party girl are wonderfully sympathetic characters. Each of them are likeable, and you can’t help but care what happens to them.
They share poor taste in their selection of their men folk as well.
Those choices lead them into much danger. With perfect timing and page turning action this book is addictive, and simply unputdownable.
A great choice for a Christmas gift in my opinion.

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)

Gerry McCullough has done a great job with this book. The two stories that run throughout are interwoven in a way that makes you want to keep reading until the end, keen to find out what happens to these twins and their socially opposite but morally similar partners.
I felt I was in the story with the characters. There were times when I wanted to become a caring but firm father to Katie, and drag her away from where she was.
I haven't read Belfast Girls yet, but I've put it to the top of my list.

Twice the action, twice the emotion!
This is one fast-paced novel from beginning to end. Two girls, living in the same city, but who have never met. Yet their lives follow strangely similar paths. Both are emotionally involved with dubious men, and both are slipping into more and more danger - hence the title - as a result.
Katie - the working class one - is more 'easily led', involved with a tearaway who's never had a proper job in his life! Annie is more sophisticated, with her designer clothes, designer flat and designer boyfriend - but is he all that he seems? Their 'guardian angel' is Katie's mother, Marie, whose prayers are eventually answered - in more ways than she ever bargained for!
Eventually, of course, the two girls meet - by accident - and with life-changing consequences for all concerned.
I read this in one sitting - a real page-turner and an excellent follow-up to Belfast Girls . More, more, more!

A lot of books do well on plot but fall short on characterisation. In some cases, the characters are driven by the plot, their entire personalities altering to suit the needs of the story.
Gerry McCullough shows how it should be done!
All the main characters in this fast paced romance / thriller are authentic, well developed people. It's the mingling of their love and greed, passion and fear, faith and loyalty that creates and drives the plot. Moreover, as we follow the often unexpected shifts in their circumstances, we see those characters changing and developing, for better or for worse!
This complex interplay of personalities and situations - set against vivid and authentic backgrounds - is masterfully handled, but without losing pace and energy. The tension in the two interwoven plots is steadily built up until they crash together! The timing is perfect, and the conclusion satisfying - all the more so since it remains throughout entirely in keeping with who the characters are.
A great story, and marvellously well crafted.

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.

Katie and Jo-Anne are twins but have never met, having been separated at birth when their young unmarried mother felt she couldn’t look after two babies.
The girls grow up in different social circumstances yet they have much in common, each being with a decidedly iffy bloke. Katie has a down-at-heel boyfriend who deals in drugs while Jo-Anne’s is more adept but no more law-abiding.
The girls are both led into dishonest schemes – Katie stealing from her employer and the more stylish Jo-Anne agreeing to undertake a dubious venture involving a high-status businessman.
The sister’s paths do cross eventually when catastrophe strikes and they meet by accident.

Katie and Jo-anne are identical twins, separated at birth. As young women, they get into similar problems, skirting on the darker side of the law, both far too easily influenced by no-good boyfriends. I was impatient with them to begin with, and had to remind myself that for a time, at that age, I was also too much influenced by a boyfriend (though only driving too fast, nothing worse)
As the plot develops, our heroines start to have a bit more sense, and I did like the final wrapping up.
The story proceeds with the two strands running parallel, finally coming together at the very last.
A nice thriller, well told.

This was clean Christian fiction, but it was not in-your-face or overly thick with Christianity. The ending wasn't a surprise to me, and I would have liked to see it fleshed out more, but I really enjoyed the journey.
As a mom who has birthed identical twins without any drugs at all, the birth experience was right on...except I was not sleepy afterward and was anxious to hold my girls. ;-)

Interesting storyline. Pretty original in my opinion and I really liked that. What I had trouble with at first was the way it switches from Katie to Annie so quickly. It started to give me whiplash! By the end of the book it had gotten a little slower between shifts and that redeemed it for me.

This was a free one from Amazon. It gives proof to the old adage that you get what you pay for. After four chapters I couldn't take any more of the hackneyed cliches and deleted it from my Kindle.

This is the first book I've ready by Gerry McCullough. From start to finish it is nonstop action and excitement.

DNF:I only reached to 24% in reading but I feel I can't go on. The shifting between the characters is a little distracting for me.

Twins separated at birth both meet men who lead them towards disaster. The plot makes it rather predictable, but the thrill is in the anticipation.
