Ever watch a thriller and yell at the characters on the screen? "Don't go in there! He's right behind you! Run!" That kind of thing. Much to my family's annoyance, that was exactly what happened while I was reading the Action Thriller, Den by Randall Allen Dunn.
Momma Says 5 out 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Den is well-written in first person POV with the story being told by main character, Amy. It fits perfectly into the Action Thriller genre, as well as Suspense and Mystery Thriller. No doubt about it, it is most definitely a Thriller. Amy is a college student and while there are some adult situations mentioned, I found nothing that would be inappropriate for an older teen. In fact, the story would be perfect for older teens and young adults. Of course, that didn't keep this, ahem, older adult from enjoying it!😀 And check out that cover! That alone caught my eye!
I love a good thriller, but to be honest, I rarely find one that delivers on the thrills. So, it has become my habit to not expect too much when I start reading one. Den not only exceeded my expectations, it blew me away! My opener was no exaggeration, I found myself literally yelling at Amy throughout this nail-biter.
Let's face it, I'm not the only one who finds something creepy about the whole idea of even being in a closed amusement park in the wee hours of the night. Add in a handful of crazies that are determined to catch you for their own nefarious reasons and you can't avoid being at least creeped out.
Amy is in the game of her life as she races through the park, trying to outwit more than one determined pursuer. Armed with only a knife and night-vision goggles, she has her work cut out for her.
Den delivers everything that a good thriller should. It's packed with heart-racing, can't catch your breath action, suspense as you try to puzzle out who, if anyone, can be trusted, and twists that this reader did not see coming. Dunn's writing style and fast-paced story pulled me in and didn't let go. I'm not even sure I took a breath until the last chapter!
If you enjoy thrillers, this is one that you won't want to miss. To sum it up in one sentence - If this were a movie, I'd go see it!
Den is available in ebook and paperback formats at Amazon. It's also listed in Kindle Unlimited. "
You can also find the paperback at Barnes & Noble. Check it out! You won't be disappointed!

Thanks for joining me! I think I'll give my heart a break and read something a bit calmer before cracking open my next Dunn novel - and there will be a next one!
