This past month has been a slow reading month and I was stuck on a romance book for the past two days, I tried and tried but I just felt so blah with it and it wasn't moving as fast as it should have been for more, so then I decided the best genre to give a go would be a thriller. This book I ended up reading this in two hours and was the first one of her's I had read and now looking forward to reading her other books. This book gave me the vibes of the movie Joy Ride which features Paul Walker. Remember the one where they tease the trucker with Candy Cane over the radio and he gets revenge on them by playing cat and mouse on the deserted roads? Run on Red starts with two friends Laura and Liz, heading to a party after work. The car they are in is old and soon they find themselves out in the country with no cell coverage and being chased by two men in masks in a ute. What do they want with Liz and Laura? Can the girls not only survive the night by putting their true crime knowledge to the test but also in doing so uncover a range of crimes committed by frat brothers? Run on Red is a thriller that could trigger some emotions as it does also spotlight fraternity rape and the things that can go on at their parties e.g. drinking etc. If you love thrillers and new adult edginess, then you will love Run on Red by Noelle W. Ihli.

3.5 Stars. Super fast paced, easy read. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat, action wise. The only thing that would have made this a 5 star book, is if there has been any character development at all. I kind of felt that I started reading a book halfway through. But all in all, it was still a solid read. (A few logistical errors, not a huge deal breaker)
Thanks to netgalley, the publisher and author for the chance to read this advanced copy.

I loved this read! If you are in a reading slump this is sure to pull your right out of it. Noelle Ihli is a force to be reckoned with in the thriller space. What is unique about her books is that the mystery is not the focus. Instead, it's the thrill of the chase and the read and the stakes that she puts forth. You never know if the characters are going to make it out of the story which is hard to pull off. I think fans of horror movies and slashers will also like the brutality of the book. She doesn't hold back and the story is better for it.

This book was heart pounding and slightly claustrophobic. I couldn't put it down. I was on the edge of my seat and was genuinely creeped out. What an intense read!!

Quick and easy little read. I'd describe it as fun, but that doesn't seem like quite the right word as the antagonists of the story were actually pretty nasty. In any case, the story kept my attention, and although I suspected where the story was heading, and was right, it went a lot deeper onto that route than I expected. I'd definitely class this more thriller than horror, though, especially since everything is tied up so neatly at the end. True rating 3.5, rounded down to 3.

Sadly this was a DNF for me. I couldn't connect with the characters or the writing, despite picking it up a few times after seeing great reviews online.

This book really makes you think what it would be like to be in the middle of no where with no service and realize you have to figure out how to survive people coming after you!! That's a very scary thought! I read Ask for Andrea last month do when I saw an opportunity to get an advanced read of this new book I new I needed to take that opportunity. This was a quick read because you're drawn into the how will they survive and who are these people after them and why are they after them. If you want a good thriller I would highly recommend this book.

Thank you for allowing me to read this in advanced!

Not my cup of tea. It felt too drawn out and not believable. However, it did get my heart racing for the main character and makes me look over my shoulder when driving or at a store to make sure no one is paying any close attention to me. So I guess it is my cup of tea because it made me paranoid haha

Fast-paced and gripping, this book left me gasping for air and I guarantee it will do the same to you. This was super entertaining and I just loved it.

A terror filled horror story that scared me out of my mind. You think that it is a simple case of road rage but it is so much more than just that.

I liked this book. Definitely not a slow story with action from the very beginning - I appreciated that. It was a quick read which I also really appreciate as thrillers tend to take me a bit longer to get through especially when they're drawn out. The motivation for the crime in the book was, unbelievable. Like literally. It felt so out there but I guess it's possible. Also, the main character being a true crime junkie, with reservations about this party/night to begin with and having a phone on such low battery, also didn't seem realistic to me. Overall, good suspenseful read!

This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I read it in 2 sittings. My anxiety went up while reading this, and when I read a good thriller, I want to feel the tension and anxiousness. At times, it did feel a little drawn out, but I did enjoy it, nevertheless.

Absolutely gripping thriller. I couldn’t put it down. Read probably the whole thing in two big chunks!

Wow, this was absolutely GRIPPING! The pacing was excellent - literally could not put it down and kept flipping through my digital copy as quickly as I could, lol. I'm pretty sure there were moments where I forgot to breath, completely captivated -- although I did also have a few moments where things got a bit flat for me suspense-wise. Overall really enjoyed the ride (haha) and plan to check out more from the author for sure!

Really enjoyed this novel. Story was very interesting and engaging. Looking forward to reading more by this author. Highly recommend!

I was so excited to read this book. The storyline sounded really intriguing and suspenseful. Unfortunately I felt a bit let down. There are two main characters, Olivia and Laura, and they are chased in their car by another vehicle on their way to a party in the woods. At one point the characters realize that they recognize the voice of one of the men chasing them. At this point the story began to lose my interest because it was not a random attack, they were chosen. When it felt like a random thing the story was much scarier. Also the explanation at the end of the story was hard to follow and still left me with questions.

This book was so good. I literally held my breath at times while reading! Definitely an edge of your seat book that i read in one sitting. Will be recommending this one to everyone!

Captivating book that keeps you engaged from start to finish. I do feel as though the middle dragged on a bit, but I would definitely read more from this author

I have been at the edge of my seat since I started this one!! So gripping!!! It’s intense y’all!! This is the stuff nightmares are made of. This feels so real like I’m right here within the pages. My little heart is a racing!!!

Description
A rural country road. No cell signal for miles. A terrifying game of cat-and-mouse.

By the time Laura and Olivia notice the headlights tailing them through the hills, it’s too late. What seems, at first, like a case of road rage quickly unfolds into a heart-pounding chase—and a battle for survival.

Who are the men in the truck? What do they want? And can Laura and Olivia outrun—and outsmart—them long enough to call for help, even if it means taking their chances in the hills on foot?

As their situation grows more perilous, the girls realize that the real terror has only just begun. But flight won’t save them from their pursuers. If they’re going to make it home alive, they'll have to fight.

Thanks again to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this one in exchange for my honest review. 4 amazingly awesome stars!!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC! Fast read that was a bit predictable but so good! I had to read it during daylight hours! It kept my interest and I finished it quickly. I rate it a 3.4
