Random Acts

De: Franklin Horton

Narrado por: Kevin Pierce

When social media becomes the ultimate tool of terror....

Teenager Amanda Castle was like a lot of people, posting pictures of her everyday life to a variety of social media sites. Not everyone who viewed her pictures was there to share in her experiences. One was there to steal her profile pictures.

A terrorist in Frankfurt was desperate to please his leadership. He planned the perfect attack, one in which vulnerable people would be invited through social media to participate in a flash mob. There, the unwitting participants, thinking they were taking part in a random act of kindness, would find themselves engaged in a random act of terror.

His ultimate plan: take the attack to America.

Using Amanda's pictures and the name CamaroChick19, the terrorist attempts to manipulate an unstable and socially-isolated young man named Victor into a position where he will be blamed for the attack. When the friendless Victor becomes obsessed with CamaroChick19, his tenuous grip on reality snaps and his life begins to violently unravel. Before the world closes in on him, Victor is determined to track down Amanda Castle and make her pay for everything that has gone sideways in his life.

Great Book!! Just like all the others!!

I’ve read every book Horton has published. All of the are beyond excellent and this book is no exception. The books are fast paced and keep you wanting more...I know it’s cliche but true. The great thing about this guy (Franklin Horton) is his work ethic. Not only does he keep putting out high quality stories and enlists the absolute BEST narrator in Kevin Pierce, he keeps putting books out at about two or so per year while having a “day job.” Also the storylines are interesting and the dialogue is real to the situation. You seriously can’t go wrong. I recommend all his books two million percent. Thanks Mr. Horton.

Good!

I was on the fence for about half the book. It seemed convoluted and scattered. Felt like too much trying to be crammed into a book but it pulled through and was captivating till the end. Enjoyed the narration. Definitely recommend.

Check it out!

Great book! I really enjoyed the way the author develops the characters. It truly makes the story seem plausible and real which is what I like in a thriller!

Scary to think about

I'm not really into books about terrorism but I do like a good thriller which this book was. It definitely gives the reader something to think about. I know social media isn't perfect but I never thought about it being used in an act of terrorism like that, yet the whole story seemed like something that could actually happen in this day and age. The characters were well developed, and the plot was intriguing. Kevin Pierce did a very good job bringing this story to life. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Grabs you from the beginning!

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoyed how Horton created sympathy in the reader for even the worst people in the story, the most unsympathetic of characters. His attention to individual feelings and the cause & effect relationship between feelings and events in the story adds a human element to this thriller that thoroughly develops the characters and send the story over the top.

Any additional comments?

"Random Acts" had me from the very beginning. It's a fast-paced story of how social media is manipulated to ensnare users in dangerous situations they simply weren't looking for. The cautionary tale shines a light on the dangers of oversharing, terrorism, and getting too close to online-only friends you've never actually seen or met. Excellent book with a lot of reality, scary as it could really happen to any of us. Highly recommend! ***This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.***

Really makes you think

Franklyn and Kevin Pierce make an excellent pair as always.
Franklyn Horton really is a master storyteller.
This book focuses on social media, and some of the nut jobs that are out there just waiting to advantage of you.

I can tell you this after reading this book I locked down all my social media accounts
I would recommend this to any of his fans and anyone who likes a good thriller
