Eva is on a hunt to bring down an organization that killed her brother. This was the first book I’ve read by Alan McDermott and I was absolutely glued to my seat desperate to learned what happened next. The details in the book were amazing and since I live in one of the locations the book was centered around I felt I was actually witnessing the story unfold. Absolutely loved it!

I do love it when fictional characters from different books meet up! So Eva Driscoll meeting up with Tom Gray's men was very exciting for me. How can I fail to love a book with a tough, smart, sexy, hard as nails, butt kicking female - so very like myself. The story was so incredible that it passed through completely unbelievable and came out the other side into, "Ohmidays, this could actually be true" territory. Loved it and will definitely be following the Eva Driscoll story.

A great, fast read full of suspense and quite a ride.

Conspiracy theories, on-the-edge kind of writing that makes a good premise a really good story. Good for suspense lovers.

Very well written, great character development, and I want to read more about Eva. She's a kick-butt kind of character, almost like her special forces brother taught her everything she knows. She's searching for answers mainly why her brother was murdered... along with his unit buddies. Something dark is going on.

A mystery/thriller, Run and Hide follows Eva Driscoll, a CIA-trained woman used to chase down bad guys and not the other way around. But when her brother was killed in a faked suicide, Driscoll teams up with ex-soldier Rees Colback. Together they’re determined to uncover why members of his Special Forces squad are dying in mysterious circumstances but found themselves at the crosshairs of every agency in the country.

Fast-paced and easy to read, “Run and Hide” feeds your need for adrenaline. It is hard to put down once you started. Lots of plot twists and unexpected turns. Eva Driscoll can give Jack Reacher a run for his money.

was a gripping thriller that took you to every aspect of trying to figure out what was really going on  and what was going to happen next! This was such an amazing book and I can’t wait to see what else is released from this author!

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley.

The beginning of the book was very exciting...car and motorcycle chases, people escaping, etc.

Unfortunately, the story evolved into a conspiracy book about the group that is really running the US Government. At that point, I gave up and did not finish reading the book. Very disappointing.

I was unsure if this book would suit my reading likes as I am not that much into action thrillers and conspiracies. Anyway, I liked reading this book from Alan McDermott and I think itwould be even more interesting to readers really fans of this type of thrillers.

I received the book#run and hide from #Netgalley for an honest review. The beginning of the book started out with lots of action. And I am always interested in New female leads and this book delivered that but it fell into a pattern of so many other action books. I enjoyed the book I don't see myself reading any following books but if action is what ur looking for them I recommend this book.

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my candid review.

I thought that this was a great book! It is the first in what I expect will be a longer series of books. It is in the CIA/FBI/Military genre with the unlikely protaganists are fighting to save the world, US, country from the evil behind the scenes puppetmasters that control all governments, banks, and multibillion dollar multinational companies.

It is an unlikely group----a badass black ex-special forces guy, an even more badass CIA clandestine (read: assassin); and two British special forces dudes. The story is mostly action---not much background and/or character development, but the storyline was sound. And it obviously leaves the door open for a sequel.

I will give this book a four due to the lack of personal development, but my guess is that that will come with follow up books.

Give it a try---you will like it.

This is a fast-paced thriller that reads like a popcorn blockbuster movie! Loads of action and great characters made it a really enjoyable read.

This was an action packed thriller from beginning to end and it isn't finished yet. Great story which could well be true. Well described characters with good interactions.  Once I started I couldn't put it down.

Great government agency /spy adventure!

Set in current times, addressing some current situations with current technology.  I loved that it was written with enough information about the technology to inform the technologically challenged, but not so much that it was boring by any means.  

The situations were tense, and it was apparent that both sides had those who were at the top of their game.  I liked when previous co-conspirators were pitted against one another with enough insight to outguess the other's intentions.  It made for more edge of your seat tension.

Glad I read this, and will read more of this author's work.  Also, one of the best female protagonists ever!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

This pacy Political thriller is oh so good. 

Eva Driscoll is a CIA operative and on an Assassins hit list so she has to run.

This violent and intriguing tale is definitely one for fans of this genre and book 1 is a great start to what I hope is a brilliant series I really want to know more about Eva, as a character we don't yet know much about her life, But what we do know is that she is tough and edgy. 

I am now reading the second book and I just love it

The book was ok.  It is a government conspiracy book with a female assassin lead in the book.  I couldn't really care about any of the characters and it sucks because there is no ending and it is a cliffhanger at the end.

Primarily I was an avid reader of fantasy books.  Of late I have got into thrillers and mystery books especially where they align with FBI, CIA, or other such organisations.   

This book was one I loved delving into, as it was fast paced and showed how the hunters can become the hunted and also switch this around to become hunters themselves.  

The book is very fast paced and you get to side with the main character very easily as its so well written to draw you in.  What is great is that it brings in characters from other series by the author thus interlinking worlds, perhaps an option for of this down the line.

Hooked on the book, so much looking for the follow up to the series which I will surely buy!

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

I am extremely surprised that I enjoyed this as much as I did. Can't say that espionage thrillers written by men are something I would put in my literary wheelhouse, but dang Alan McDermott, I'm impressed. Our protagonist, Eva Driscoll, is described in an obliviously sexist way maybe just twice (and in the beginning) (more so in intentionally gross ways to make you dislike characters) and I appreciated how she was just a bad ass lady with mad (view spoiler) skills trying to take down a secret organization and seek revenge for her brother's death. With a ragtag group of guys that are minimally focused on and it's cool because they honestly add very little to the story. I'll take it!

This is a good read for action packed conspiracy thrillers. My issue with this read was the lack for full character development, especially for the main protagonist, Eva Driscoll. While a good conspiracy thriller has an 'oh, that can't happen'scene or two, this story had one too many of those moments. With all this said, this story would make a better action movie than book. Thank you to Netgalley for this  arc.
