I really enjoyed this - thriller about ultramarathons - yes please!
Couldn’t put it down and read the whole thing in one sitting!
Good number of twists that I wasn’t expecting, but did make sense once they came out.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Runner 13 is a must-read for anyone who loves high-stakes survival stories packed with personal redemption and dark secrets, all set in the intense, unforgiving world of ultrarunning. As someone who’s fascinated by ultrarunners, I couldn’t wait to dive into this one — and it did *not* disappoint. I raced through the pages (pun absolutely intended!), torn between not wanting it to end and needing to know what happens next. This book is an absolute rollercoaster — fast-paced, gripping, and impossible to put down. Trust me, it’s a thriller you’ll want to talk about, and I’ll definitely be recommending it to everyone!

As a big fan and follower of ultrarunning, this was honestly a perfect thriller. I raced through it, not wanting it to end but simultaneously wanting to know what happened. Amy has cemented herself as an auto-buy author for me. Loved all of the references to famous ultra-races and the parallels to the Barkleys and Jasmin Paris being the first female finisher. An all round, well-paced thriller that I will be highly recommending!
