Random Acts

By: Franklin Horton

Narrated by: 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.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

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!

In this day and age..it could happen

A decade ago, I would have said that this is a very implausible plot line. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. When introduced to the characters from widely disparate lives, I couldn't imagine how the author would be able to bring them together. And then he does. What results is a harrowing, and probably fatal, clash, for all involved. I'd love to tell you how it happens, but I think that would spoil it for people starting to or thinking of reading the book. I will respectfully allow you to be surprised as it happens. The author draws us into the lives of each of the characters, each struggling to make sense of his and her lives, and makes you interested in them. The book is a fast paced thriller centered around people desperately trying to make sense of their lives as they spin out of control. (It's hard writing a review when you don't want to reveal ANY part of the plot line in order not to spoil it for potential readers!!!) I enjoyed this book very much. It's really easy to listen to and didn't have any gaps in the action. I look forward to listening to another book written by this author.

Just the thought...

I read a lot of post apocalyptic, psycho thrillers and Zombie Books. THIS book unnerved me more than any of them. Yeah, it's good.
