This is a good action spy story that will keep you paying attention as you read it. It does have some sexist slant towards it, so it may not be fo everyone. I would recommend this to people who like the espionage genre of stories more than adventure or procedural.

Eva is been hunted and she can only run for so long until they catch her and when that happens they will kill her ...

Mission Impossible meets Fast and Furious -  this book had me gripped from the start! Ex CIA agent  Eva is such a strong woman and the heroine of the story as she tried to uncover the background to her brothers suicide and enlists the help of Rees, who was in his  Special Forces unit. This is the first book in the Eva Driscoll series and I'm intrigued to see what her next adventure will be. A winner again  for Alan McDermott.

I either love or dislike this author's Tom Gray books but I like the world that they are set in.  This book is set in Tom's world, but Tom doesn't have much to do.  Andrew Harvey does, and I really like this character.
The story is mainly a chase story and is fast and exciting.

Really enjoyed this book. Fans of Lee Childs will love this fast paced, high energy thriller. Couldn’t put it down and look forward to more in the future by this author.

This book was filled with so much information, at times it was difficult to sort through.  Eventually, the story line becomes more clear and the book is a heart-racing journey of figuring out who can be trusted and how it will all turn out... I liked the ending and how it was not so neatly tied together....as life often is not.

Thankyou to NetGalley, Amazon Publishing UK and the author, Alan McDermott, for the opportunity to read a digital copy of Run And Hide in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
This book was an enjoyable thriller. It was an easy read with characters that are engaging. 
Worth a read for fans of the genre.

I really liked this book. The action was great and kept the plot moving forward, which held my interest in the book. I can easily see more books involving the main characters. Well-written & action-packed.

Book Reviews - "Run and Hide" eBook was published in 2018 and was written by Alan McDermott (http://www.alanmcdermottbooks.co.uk). Mr. McDermott has published nine novels. This is the first in his "Eva Driscoll" series. 

I categorize this novel as ‘R’ because it contains scenes of Violence and Mature Language. The story is set in the contemporary US. The primary characters are CIA agent Eva Driscoll and former Spec Ops operative Rees Colback.  

Driscoll's brother had been part of the same team Colback had served with. Now only Colback is still alive and someone wants him dead. Only through Driscoll's assistance has he avoided those that are pursuing him. Now they are both on the run. But who is it behind the orders to kill them? Slowly they discover that a powerful, wealthy cadre is after them. They can either run for the rest of their lives, or they can fight back. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the 6.5 hours I spent reading this 300-page thriller. I liked the characters created for the novel as well as the plot. There is quite a bit of action in the story and it is left with a cliff-hanger ending that guarantees a sequel. I certainly will be looking for one. I have read a couple of other novels by McDermott and I have found all of them consistently good. I am not a fan of the cover art. I give this novel a 4 out of 5.

My book reviews are also published on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/31181778-john-purvis).

“Run and Hide” by Alan McDermott is not a bad book, but it wasn’t a book for me. It will appeal to fans of action movies where the main protagonist has nearly inhuman skills and superpowers. If you enjoyed watching adventures of Jack Reacher or James Bond and similar movies, you will probably enjoy reading this book as well. It offers nonstop action, fights and pursuits. This book may also appeal to fans of conspiracy theories and to people, who like to imagine that there are secret societies of chosen few who want to rule the world. For me this book wasn’t interesting. I like more substance and real emotions in the books I read. Still, this novel may appeal to many readers.   
 
I received "Run and Hide" from the publisher via NetGalley. I would like to thank the author and the publisher for providing me with the advance reader copy of the book.

his thriller about a sister finding her brother's killer seemed a little too "out there."  I felt that the author's imagination was working a little too hard for the storyline.

This review will post to my website on Sunday, September 23, 2018 at 9 am.

Exhilarating! Every time I thought the chase was over, Driscoll had another trick up her sleeve! 

I love a good bad-ass chick being the main character, and Eva Driscoll is just that. She knows the ins-and-outs of the hired hit-men’s world, because she used to be one. She’s smart and always one step ahead of the “bad” guy. I am excited to see where her story ends up next!

Run and Hide is an action-packed thrill ride that will have conspiracy theorist jumping from their seats. Lovers of Dan Brown or Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series will love this thrilling new series by Alan McDermott!

Dani's Score out of 5: 📚📚📚📚

Eva Driscoll is used to chasing down bad guys, but now the bad guys are chasing her. She knows they won’t stop until she’s dead.

After her brother is killed in a faked suicide, Driscoll teams up with ex-soldier Rees Colback, the one person who can help her find answers. Together they’re determined to uncover why members of his Special Forces squad are dying in mysterious circumstances.

But with every agency in the country in hot pursuit, their only choice is to flee.

The clock is ticking. They can’t run forever. It’s time to make a choice: kill or be killed…

This is a fast paced political thriller. Eva is a badass who is going to take down the one club in the US who has all the power and money. In fact they are in charge of White House, judges, police, media, etc. As she makes a team of her own then the Club is also ready to tke her down and willing to kill innocent bystanders to get her.

I received this from NetGalley for an honest review.

A fast paced thriller which keeps you enthralled every step of the way. Personally, I loved the pace and the subject matter. The ESO group with the whole of the world in its vulture-like talons holds the very governments and security forces in its grasp. How long can anyone go against them when the odds are so badly stacked? Well, quite a time if you've Eva Driscoll on your side! She's quite a woman and always thinks one step ahead of the bad guys except for when she did the bidding of the ESO group, albeit unwittingly. However, when her brother is killed and his former forces buddy Rees Colback is almost taken down in New York, she starts to put the pieces together aided by her far sighted friend Farooq who postulates that the ESO is at the heart of the conspiracy theory he once told her about. The ESO group doesn't like its long term plans thwarted, so engineer a way to tidy up loose ends using the fire power of the CIA. A game of cat and mouse begins.
Given the ending of the novel, I'm sure we haven't heard the last of Driscoll or the ESO group.

Sonny and Len were my favorite part of the book. This was an interesting start to a new series, and while I did not find it as gripping as some other reviewers did, I enjoyed it and would like to read more from Mr. McDermott.

This is an exciting fast moving story that makes you want to keep reading, which is always a good thing.  There is plenty of action and a strong female lead.  Do you like conspiracy theories??  Could you believe that the world is controlled by wealthy men we don't know, not by presidents, kings or queens whose names we recognize?  If you answered yes to these two questions you will enjoy this book.  I believe the ending suggests another story about Eva Driscoll, maybe series even.  I have an issue or two, but minor ones.  First, I feel that Eva is too perfectly created from a male point of view.  Perhaps this is written more for a male audience.  There is some rough language, too.  I did an early read of this novel.  Thanks, NetGalley for this opportunity.

If you like a fast paced, can’t put down story this is for you!  This book kept my interest all the way through. It was hard to put down,therefor I couldn’t wait to get back to reading it. The female lead takes no chances when protecting those under her care. She cleverly gets past some unbelievable circumstances. I will look for other books by this author!

This story had me gripped from the beginning. It was very well written, and the central characters were somewhat larger than life, but this added to the telling of the story. The characterisation was very good, and the story of the main character Eva Driscoll, who unexpectedly finds herself on the wrong side of U S security agencies, was thought provoking. Conspiracy theorists would probably find this tale all too plausible. A real page turner, difficult to put down, and very enjoyable. Recommended without hesitation. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book.

Run and Hide is the first in the Eva Driscoll series by Alan McDermott and having read the authors Tom Gray series I wondered how this new series would be,and having now finished I think it promises to be a equally as good,if not better.Eva Driscoll a lethal enforcer for the CIA sets out to find truth behind her brothers supposed suicide but it soon becomes clear the enormity of the task ahead as the hunter becomes the hunted as she becomes the target of every government agency.
Overall a good well written fast paced action thriller and readers of the authors previous books will certainly not be disappointed and the previous lead character Tom Gray does pop up briefly.It certainly promises to be a great series and look forward to Eva’s next outing.
Thanks to Netgalley,Amazon Publishing UK and Thomas and Mercer for the free copy of Run and Hide.

Can't wait for the next one.  Always like a strong, kickass woman.  She is working on uncovering a corrupt banking system.  Although she is a target of the system, she manages to recruit assistance and bring the corruption out of the shadows.
This reminds me of the Dean Knootz, Jane Hawk series.
