You Can Run....

But you might not be able to hide.

Whoa mama! Talk about a pulse pounding thriller! This one had me on the edge my seat and white knuckling my kindle as I read.

This one sure is a doozie and LC George, really knows what she is doing! I mean, I guess I should have known. Last year I read her debut, The Sleepwalker and I was instantly in love with her writing style.

You Can Run, plunges you right into the plot, the description, all consuming, will have you feeling, hearing and fearing, everything around you.

Talk about a real spine tingler .

Check out this teaser :

Rachel thought she’d escaped her father. But now he’s found her.

Rachel was barely more than an infant when her father, Dennis, murdered her mother and sister. In prison ever since, Dennis has never said one word about why he killed two family members - or why he spared Rachel.

Now a grown woman, Rachel has done everything she can to leave her terrible past behind. She has changed her identity and is now happily married to the love of her life, Dan.

But there is a dark cloud on the horizon.

Dennis is due to be released from prison and Rachel worries that he will kill again, that he may even come after her. And sure enough, a series of murders begins around the time of his release.

Rachel is terrified, convinced that her father is stalking her, certain she will be his next victim. Even worse, Dan thinks she is being paranoid and won’t do anything to protect her.

Isolated, vulnerable, Rachel spends her days in an agony of terror and suspense. But as bad as this is, the truth is even worse. Because Rachel only has part of the picture, and what she is actually facing is far more horrifying than even her wildest nightmares…

You Can Run is a solid thriller. I found the story gripping enough, and the flash backs kept things interesting. I didn't find the characters did much for me - all just slightly lacking but the story was enough to make this a good read.

Some good twists, a few genuinely scary moments and the writing was well done. I would have liked more from the ending, I still have a few questions and struggled with the lack of any major motive.

Overall, an enjoyable beach read.

This is more of a horror book, than a thriller book. If that is more your cup of tea, then you will like it! I expected it to be a thriller, and I personally do not like horror books that much.

Thank you to netgalley and Inkubator books for this ARC of ‘ You Can Run’

Wow. Still sitting here staring. So many twists and turns. This was an exceptional story! I thought I knew what was going to happen but once again I was completely wrong! I will definitely be looking into reading more from this author!!

Really a great read. Very well thought out characters that kept me guessing and I could have never come up with the ending to this thrilling book

Wow! This book had me guessing all the way through on who the bad guy was and it left me speechless in the end. Highly recommend.

All I can say is wow. This book was amazing. I was constantly guessing who the bad guy was and even when I thought I was figuring it out, I was wrong. Highly recommend!

This psychological thriller had me side-eyeing everyone around me – you never know who to trust! It flips back and forth between the past and present, gradually feeding you the puzzle pieces you're dying to put together. Gotta admit, it took a hot minute for the story to rev up for me, but once it did, I was all in. What kept me on my toes was the little extra plots sprinkled throughout, serving up twists and turns when you least expect them. By the end, I was left feeling a bit weird, like I couldn't trust anyone's version of events.

Now, here's the thing – the story's got some killer twists, but it left me hanging on the "why" part. I get the whole crazy psycho vibe, but uncovering the motive would've added a whole extra layer of intrigue. Despite that, if you're into stories that keep you guessing, this one's got plenty of surprises up its sleeve!

While I appreciate the premise, I struggled to connect with the characters on a deeper level. The story seemed more like a summary of events told by the main character, rather than drawing me into the immersive experience. Additionally, I found that a significant portion of the book featured repetitive dialogue (both internal and between characters) without advancing the plot. Although I do enjoy unexpected twists and turns, I was able to anticipate most of them before the conclusion—although it's important to note that I'm an avid reader of this genre, so others may still find surprises in the story's conclusion.

A gripping psychological read that grabs you from the first page and holds on to you until the very last page!
Hard to put down once you start!

This book had so many twists and turns! It started out a little slow but picked up quickly. It kept me engaged the whole time. Thank you for the ARC! This book was great

Your run-on-the-mill mystery thriller.
I'm not sure what I like about it other than it is something to read. I spent almost a week to finish the book since it didn't really speak to me. I don't really like Rachel nor any of her friends. The only fleshed out character is only her, which, okay.
The book has a twist in the end so make sure you don't miss it.

Omg what a fantastic read this was I was engrossed from the first page until the very last. This thriller jumps from past to present which helps build the tension up throughout. There was many twists and turns it had me gripped to my kindle. Can’t recommend this highly enough excellent gripping thriller. Thanks to netgallery and the publisher for my advanced copy.

This was a fantastic book. One of the best thrillers I’ve read in a while, it’s going on my favorite reads so far in 2024. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I did figure it out partially but I was also surprised by other parts of the book. Thank you to Netgalley for the arc of the book, I definitely recommend this book. If you are a fan of Frieda McFadden like I am, I think this is a book you’d like.

Who can you trust when you’re living a lie? This book alternates between past and present, eventually giving you all the pieces to the puzzle the reader so desperately wants to put together. Personally the book started a tad slow, but about 1/3 of the way through I was invested in the plot. The one thing I did like was that there were little plots within the big plot, which meant twists and turns throughout. The story left me bothered, still unwilling to trust anyone’s story. The one thing I didn’t like was that there truly was never a “why”, I know you are supposed to go with the psychopath vibe, but it would have been another layer to include the “ why they chose their victims” thought pattern.

Thanks to #NetGalley and #InkubatorBooks for the book #YouCanRun by #LCGeorge. This book was non stop suspense in a game of cat and mouse. Who can you trust? Is my dad a serial killer? First time author but won’t be my last book.

I am a big fan of psychological thrillers, so this sounded right up my alley. I did enjoy the premise, but I did not feel a true connection to the characters as I needed to in order to love the story. Perhaps it was because the story unfolded more like a summing up of events by the main character, instead of allowing me to feel I was immersed and experiencing it with her. I also felt there was a lot of the same dialogue (inner and between characters) repeated for a good portion of the book without moving the plot forward. The story does feature some twists and turns, which I always love, however I figured out all but one before the end (I do read a LOT of these types of stories, though, and others might have some good surprises near the end).

Thanks to Net Galley for a preview of this book in exchange for my honest review.

A great read. I couldn’t put it down and was surprised with every new chapter starting with page 1. The flow of the book was phenomenal.

Thanks to Inkubator Books, NetGalley, and LC George for a fascinating thriller in “You Can Run”. The suspense was tightly focused and intense and I loved the main characters in the story. When Rachel’s father is released from prison she is put on hypervigilance because she has kept that part of her life a secret from her friends. However, the secret is about to come out into the open because women are turning up dead and the police are looking at her father as the prime suspect. But not everyone is being totally honest around Rachel and their secrets are bigger and scarier than hers. This book kept me up late into the night reading it—it’s that good. Definitely worth it if you’re a fan of Frieda McFadden or Daniel Hurst.

This book has many twists and turns that keep you reading but a has a very slow start.

I’m the type of reader who needs instant grabbing and I just didn’t get it here. Overall a good read.
