If you want a fast, action read....[b:Run on Red|61381555|Run on Red|Noelle W. Ihli|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1656767791l/61381555._SY75_.jpg|96829566] is for you.

It's a quick read with nonstop action. [a:Noelle W. Ihli|21646097|Noelle W. Ihli|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1626045227p2/21646097.jpg] wastes no time jumping into a tension-filled cat-and-mouse chase between two college girls and two masked men. There is a lot to like here: strong female protagonists, struggle for survival, true crime knowledge, and the author's skill necessary to transport the reader to the remote locations where the action takes place. The author also skillfully handles the topic of sexual assault.

If you were being pursued with limited to no resources in a remote area with no way to signal for help--what would you do to survive? Would you make good decisions? Could you escape? Could you fight? Do you have the inner and physical strength to endure? That's exactly where Olivia and Laura find themselves.

I enjoyed the book and if you like fast-paced thrillers, you will likely enjoy it too.

Super good premise that for me hooked right away but it didn’t keep the momentum the rest of the book. I was dragging to finish and when it finally ended it just felt super abrupt.

3.5 Rounded up
This book immediately gets into the action and I really appreciate that. The tension ramps up and honestly doesn't stop until the very end. The only reason I didn't rate it higher is it felt a little YA for me and is absolutely NOT a horror book. A thriller for sure, but no horror. The characters aren't as dumb as you might expect given the synopsis which is refreshing. I also liked the comparison to a choose-your-own-adventure book, I always loved those. If you're wanting a fast, action-packed thriller, I would recommend this one.
