I think that this is the longest I've taken to read a book.

First off, I love Lisa Harris' books, really love them, and the facts she includes are wonderful, which is why I was so so so excited to see she was publishing a book focusing on US Marshals, I knew she would get it right.

And since my brother is really interested in the Marshals I have gotten lots of info on them.

But I started The Escape right in the middle of a reading slump, the worst reading slump ever, honestly. And I read about twenty pages, set the book aside, and repeat until today when I sat down to finish it.

Wow, I may not have started out enjoying it due to the reading slump but the skill that Harris' has in giving realistic suspense is still something I look forward to.

The cover, the plotline, the characters, and the suspense were spot on.

My only problem? That the next book isn't in my hands yet!

I look forward to reading the next book and hope that Lisa Harris' suspenseful precision in handing out a thrilling story.

I voluntarily received and reviewed a complimentary e/copy of this book which I received from the author/publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. ( )

Hmm, this one was not what I expected. When I picked up this book, I was hoping for adventure and survival in the woods. However, I found that not to be the case for the majority of the book.
I did appreciate how complex and complicated the web of the mystery was. It kept pulling me along and pulled me back in whenever my attention wandered.
Overall, this was an okay read, but I am not likely to read again. I am looking forward to seeing where Lisa takes the second book of the series though.

Rating: 3.5/5
Language: n/a
Romance: some
Spiritual: a little
Violence: quite a bit, deaths, gun violence, plane crash

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
I found the book, "The Escape", by Lisa Harris, to be s hard one to put down. From the very beginning she sucks you in by giving you the backstory of Madison (one of the main characters). When Madison is introduced to her co-worker Jonas it is then that the story takes off and the adventure begins. Through an act of what should have been just an ordinary task both of their lives become entangled in a survival between life and death as they fight to recover their prisoner. Great attention to detail and a wonderfully written page-turner

Definitely a struggle to get through this one, with too much cheesy dialogue and VERY slow action -- and almost incompetence in catching this escaped fugitive. A decent story and somewhat interesting characters, but feels more like a Lifetime movie than an engaging novel. ( )

There is a razor-thin edge between justice and revenge, where the two easily blur if left unchecked.
