Run on Red
by Noelle W. Ihli
3.5 stars. The beginning was so suspenseful and I literally couldn’t stop reading it. But, the ending was messy and started to get a little predictable. I feel like we’re kind of beaten over the head with “the answers” and Liv was asked to explain things to death to the reader. I prefer when thrillers leave some minor gaps for the reader to fill in themselves. There also was a lot of unnecessary repetition in the writing style — we get it, Laura’s lipstick was purple. I do think it had a lot of potential though, particularly with how anxiety inducing the build up felt. It did really grab my attention and it was a quick, entertaining read for the most part. I also really liked Liv (plus her friendship with Laura) and found her relatable as an anxiety-ridden true crime junkie.
