This was a thrilling blend of suspense, music and ambition. You follow a young singer chasing her dreams while on the run from her past. Love the Nashville setting and the compelling characters.

Written by Dolly Parton!

In the 1990s there was a movie with River Phoenix, this book reminded me of that movie. I really enjoyed the storyline and most of the characters. The book was very well written and thought out and probably based on some of Dolly Parton's own experience in the industry.

I've been waiting for a book like this and hope it will turn into a series.
Full five stars for sure!

I was highly anticipating this story by Dolly Parton and James Patterson. It did not disappoint. Interesting characters, with an unusual plot. Definately would recommend.

Aspiring County Singer’s Journey

Run, Rose, Run is a compelling blend of suspense and heartfelt storytelling that offers a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of aspiring musicians. While it may not break new ground in terms of plot, its strong character development and authentic portrayal of the music industry make it a worthwhile read. Fans of James Patterson's thrillers and Dolly Parton's music will likely find much to enjoy in this collaborative effort.

Another good one from the master of suspense. Dolly's influence is seen in the main character and her backstory. It was a good read, but it ended very quickly - I wanted more details.

I could hear Dollys voice as I read this book. For fans of Nashville, this book captures you from the first page.

James Patterson was one of the firsts to introduce me to the mystery/thriller genre and there used to be a time I used to read every single one as I found them. Lindsay Boxer, Alex Cross…. But then there just became so many and I lost interest. My interest was piqued when my absolute idol Dolly Parton said she was writing a book with him! Love just love Dolly Parton! This was a good book a popcorn chiller I would say. It had grit and was an easy quick read.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the authors for the opportunity to read Run Rose Run. I hope we get a comeback of the two collaborating.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishing house and the author for the opportunity to read a complimentary copy of this book in return for a review based upon my honest opinion.

James Patterson is one of my favourite authors, his books usually have twists that I don't see coming and keep me on the edge of my seat. That was not the case with this book, although I enjoyed the storyline, I found the story;ine easy to figure out and that the book jut left me wanting more. I could definitely feel Dolly's vibe when I read the book, I loved that part. Definitely worth a read, just not up to what I expect from James Patterson.

America has a tried and true love for both James Patterson and Dolly Parton. Partnering the two of them together is a sure-fired monetary success, but also proves to be creatively successful as well. This Nashville-set thriller follows a young singer as she finds success in the country music scene while hiding from a dangerous past. The backdrop of the music industry serves to make the story more interesting and waiting for an original Dolly track keeps the reader invested.

Run Rose Run
By James Patterson and Dolly Parton

Rose is running for a reason, but we don’t know why.
A story about just how fast fame can take hold and the demons from the past can easily find you.
If you love Dolly and James Patterson like I do, you’re bound to enjoy this story. I enjoyed reading it and also listening to it. I loved that Dolly narrated in the audiobook. It made the story that much better as Dolly always has a way of putting a smile on your face!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Little, Brown and Company for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed this one via both audiobook and on my kindle app. Dolly Parton narrated as one of the characters named Ruthanna, and it was just fun to hear her voice. It is about AnnieLee who is and up and coming star/singer, but is a nobody when something happens and she runs away from her hometown and goes to Nashville where she meets several people who help her get her start, including Ruthanna. But she also has a couple thugs who are after her but none of her friends know why since she hasn't told them the truth about who she is. I thought it was really good but the mystery aspect wasn't like James Patterson's other books so I missed more of a mystery to the story.

How can Dolly Parton disappoint? She can’t! What a great read, and how great that we got an unique flavor of voice/style in this Patterson read. James Patterson’s book are for me when I want to do a quick read, not too complicated, and just entertaining, but Run, Rose, Run did more than that for me. It was a great read that kept me thrilled. This is a duo that I hope to see more of!

This was a fun read. Totally enjoyed it. The characters were spot on and had me invested in the story. This one had all the feels. Well done with lots of tension.
Thank you NetGalley, Dolly Parton, James Patterson and Little, Brown and Company for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This book was a surprise for me. Run Rose Run is a wonderfully entertaining story of a young, promising, talented singer-songwriter trying to escape an abusive past and make it in Nashville. This is a perfect read for lovers of the Nashville TV drama series. I expected the book to be "cheesy", but it was a well written and executed story.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of the book for an honest review of the book.

This is a captivating story with wonderful characters! They each have their own situations to work through, but find ways to help each other grow and face challenges. The story also provides an interesting look at the music industry from a perspective I had not considered.

Looooooooong overdue review. As someone who is obsessed with country music, Dolly Parton, and the good ole' state of Tennessee....I was in LOVE with this book. It filled all the hopes and more of it.

James Patterson and Dolly Parton really make it work as a kick-ass writing team. The characters in Run, Rose, Run and the plot are both absolutely engrossing. A thrilling story about a woman with a mysterious and dark past who finds herself at a crossroads between continuing to run and hide or start a new life. Readers will not be able to put this book down.

The one thing that I love about a James Patterson book is the ease with which it reads. Its a quick easy to follow mindless enjoyment. This one may very well be my favorite though, can't go wrong with anything including Dolly!

Run, Rose, Run is an electrifying thriller crafted by the masterful storytelling of James Patterson, following a rising singer-songwriter on the run, fighting to survive and claim her destiny. Set in the world of Nashville's glitz and danger, this novel weaves a gripping tale of passion and peril, showcasing the unparalleled talent of America's favorite entertainer and #1 bestselling author.

I found this to be a really interesting story. It focuses mostly on AnnieLee Keyes trying to make it in Nashville as a country singer, and the interesting people she meets along the way that help her out. Lots of nights playing in bars, writing songs, and hustling.
I wouldn't truly refer to this as a "thriller" - the prologue hints at her past catching up to her and leaves lots of wonder as the book rewinds 11 months. There are a few scattered occurrences of trouble, and then some chapters near the end of the book that have more suspense as things come to a head.
I liked the story and how determined AnnieLee was to make it.
