I absolutely loved Run On Red. I damn near read it in one sitting, but hockey playoffs distracted me. đ Itâs quite the fast-paced page turner, complete with a claustrophobic and tense atmosphere. I was totally locked in, I could not put it down. I love a âlocked roomâ thriller, and this one was perfect. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, holding my breath. I couldnât get enough of it! What a wild and thrilling ride, right to the very end. Highly recommended for fans of locked room thrillers.

Terrifying in many ways, a quick easy thriller. I came here from reading Ask For Andrea which I loved. Definitely adding Noelle W. Ihli to my list of favorite thriller writers!

My Rating System: 5âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ extremely edge of my seat stars LOVED IT!!!
It begins with a reluctant night out and turns into the most terrifying game of cat-and-mouse on a rural country road with no mobile phone service⌠and nowhere to hide.
College students Laura and Olivia are on their way to bonfire night dressed to party not dressed to run for their lives. By the time they realise they are being followed and this isnât a case of road rage things take a massive turn for the worse.
What do these crazed maniacs want, why are they trying to run them off the road and why do their voices sound so familiar?? Can the girls outrun - outsmart - or outfight their pursuers before they catch up to them??
WOW!!! I will be honest (as I always am) I was expecting this to let me down hard. I loved the sound of it but I thought, yep Iâll get approved and it will be dud city!!! Was I wrong about that!!! This book kept me up late, made me tired for work and I felt like my entire body was poised ready to pounce at every turn.
Disclaimer: maybe everyone else will find this to be vanilla and not edge of your seat so donât take my sole word as gospel HOWEVER I personally was captivated by the chase, the tension and the terror. If you are a fan of [a:Sara Ennis|21350649|Sara Ennis|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1618218110p2/21350649.jpg] and her Dollhouse series this one might be for you - the writing style is very similar and it just felt so easy to read.
This is marketed as a horror book - and if I am being honest I donât really know what that genre encapsulates. I always think horror then I think Demons, Supernatural, Spinning heads and Exorcisms. IF you are after this kind of horror you will definitely not find it here. BUT if you are after something that is a fully fledged nightmare on steroids that is horrifying wellâŚ. This may just be what you are looking for.
I would say the story veers into the âurban legendâ area in some parts however it really just comes back to the âhorrorâ that other human beings unleash on each other. The sheer disregard for human life and psychopathic nature of those truly awful people in society. This felt very real!! I am not ashamed to admit I was a little bit scared at times, I was nail biting and tensed!! I could really feel the terror that Laura and Olivia must have felt when confronted in this way.
I am not going to go into the actual story in detail because truly if you find that you want to read this you want it to unfold for you on the pages. This is a really easy read - I do not mean that in a bad way. The story unfolds so well, the writing style is kind of conversational in that it feels like Olivia is really talking to us as the read or we are literally listening to the commentary going on in her mind. Of course there are interactions in the book between the goodies and the baddies and so on⌠but its not multiple POV or timelines. This is happening in the space of I think perhaps 48hours start to finish⌠real time, real drama, really full on!!
What I also liked was there was some background given to us throughout the narrative of the girls personalities but it wasnât spelt out⌠Laura thinks Olivia is a bit OTT sometimes with her paranoia and oh Olivia is a bit of a true crime junkie who is always worried about something bad happening. These things are true⌠however, they are woven into the story so you get a feel for their personalities.
What I really liked also, was when the chips were down and I mean WAY down and the girls had to dig super deep - it was interesting to see how their tenacity and courage came to the top. Olivia is terrified (rightly so) but she really comes to the party with her bravery. This is also not a smooth sailing âaction filmâ style story. There are many bumps along the way, mistakes are made and pretty ordinary things happen. While it is a bit scary there arenât too many really bad trigger warnings.
The author has done a wonderful job of keeping you on the edge with suspense, that feeling that something so bad is going to happen at the end of every page. Does it or doesnât it⌠sometimes its both but the suspense is the real boom in this one.
The ending was fairly tight, was it a bit unrealistic - OF COURSE - but it wasnât EXTRA. It was actually pretty satisfying but thatâs just my opinion. Donât take my word for it grab an advanced copy of NetGalley and give this one a go.
