Woo Hoo! This is my Y for the Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge and will wrap it up, completed. I had this on my Kindle and have been working my way through a bunch of Willow Rose’s books I received for free. If you join her newsletter, she shares a lot of her books on for free on Amazon. I love her work, so if you are looking for some great mystery/thrill reads, give her a try.
She has some great covers too. This is the Goodreads cover, but right below it is the Amazon cover, which I like even more.
MY REVIEW
Willow Rose is one of my go to authors. I love her work and am so happy to be with her fabulous characters, waiting to see what badness will befall them. I hope you enjoy the RUN.
We begin all over the place as we learn about the characters, flipping back and forth between them, getting their thoughts and feelings first hand.
I was just strolling along until…the open back door of Kelly’s house.
I say yes to the dark side of an author’s imagination!
Cast of characters:
- Marcia: a schizophrenic
- Mark: Marcia’s son
- Mary: Marcia’s friend, and if I am ever in trouble, I would love to have her by my side
- Harry: who is he…really?
- Peter: has Cerebral Palsy
- Kelly: is someone stalking her?
I purposely left out one character, because I want you to meet him for yourself.
Each chapter is told from a character’s point of view. I do like getting the lowdown straight from the horse’s mouth. I feel I get to know them better.
I do wonder how they all will come together. What do they have in common? I know Willow Rose has something in mind, because she always has a diabolical plot brewing, never giving her characters on easy ride. I’m at 44% and I am finding answers to SOME of my questions.
Willow Rose deals with some sensitive issues in a positive, yet at times, cruel way, which comes across as reality. The character of Peter Elingston, cerebral palsy, is true. Google it if you want to know more.
I can’t imagine how terrifying it must be, trapped in your own mind. This applies to Marcia and Peter. It may break your heart, but it left me feeling better when all was said and done. No matter how bad things got, Willow Rose ends it on a positive note.
GOODREADS BLURB
It’s not the kind of thing you’d expect to happen on an ordinary Saturday morning.
Her kids are arguing and her husband is still sleeping. Lisa is tired and wonders why her husband keeps working late. Is he having an affair? Is it the same girl as last time?
Lisa’s teenage daughter is acting up, and just as Lisa is about to walk up to her room and tell her who’s the boss around here, she feels the cold steel of a gun pressed against her cheek, while a hand covers her mouth.
Years later, it remains a mystery. Who killed Lisa’s family after holding them captive for twenty-four terrifying hours in their own house?
Mary Mills is enjoying her new life in Cocoa Beach. She is back with her husband Joey and the rest of the 7th Street Crew that she grew up with. She is writing a blog and doing pretty well for herself when she realizes one of her best friends, Marcia is in serious trouble.
It is well known within the crew that Marcia likes to drink a lot, but things are getting worse. Marcia is deep in over her head and she risks losing her children. Soon Mary realizes that maybe she doesn’t know her old friend as well as she thought.
It is said that a friend will help you if you’re knocked down, while a real friend says, “Stay down; I’ve got this.”
Will Mary be able to live up to this? Will she be able to help Marcia, to save her before it is too late? Does she want to after she digs deeper into Marcia’s story and finds out who she really is?
