Run on Red
"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"--Provided by publisher.

Wow! As I write this I'm still
trying to comprehend what I just read. Like seriously, WTF!!
It takes a lot to scare me whether in a book or movie, and this story had me terrified from the start!
The writer did an incredible job with this story line. I was able to picture every single thing that happened as if I was watching the horror unfold right in front of me! The hell the girls went through is unfathomable!
Noelle is a new author to me and I am so impressed with her writing! I can not wait to check out her other books!
If you get a chance make sure to check out this book! Just WOW!!
Liv and Laura are heading to a bonfire to meet some friends, when a truck starts tailing them. The road they are on is dark and single laned. The older Volvo they are driving is having a hard time climbing the hills. The truck after some time becomes restless and begins to go around them and pulls up beside them. The girls look over and expect to be flipped off for going so slow, but notice the people in the truck are wearing masks and as they hear the one speak, they wonder do we know them? The truck continues to chase them for a little while longer. Laura after some time loses control of the car and they careen down a slope and crash.
All banged up, they now have to find a way back up to the dark, rural road they came from to look for help and hope whomever those guys were are long gone.

What a ride!
I absolutely love the way Noelle writes, and Run On Red hits the mark! Her characters are sensible, but in an emotion-driven way - everything they do, I can picture myself doing, engaging me in the story. Sometimes you scream at characters "nooo why would you ever do that?!" but this is a case of "nooo... but I know we have to."
The description sets you up for the first part of the book, and then... wow, there's so much more to go through and uncover. It's a ride, that's for sure. One that I'm happy to be only reading!

From the first sentence, my heart was pounding. Not figuratively—literally. My fitness tracker told me to take a break before I stroked out.
For three straight hours, I forgot to breathe. This book grabbed me by the throat and didn’t let go. Action-packed, suspense-drenched, and loaded with edge-of-your-seat tension, it’s everything I crave in a thriller.
Noelle Ihli has done it again—another flawless, adrenaline-laced ride that I didn’t want to end.

I read this one a few years ago and remember not enjoying it so much. I decided to revisit it, wondering if maybe my headspace back then had influenced my reaction. Unfortunately, it remains my least favorite. She’s undeniably a fantastic writer, and there is tension and fear throughout this book. But for me it just doesn’t measure up to the rest of her work.
