Blind Run

Blind Run is an action adventure tale featuring ex-CIA operative, Ethan Decker, his ex-wife, Dr. Sydney Decker and two runaway kids. In addition to excellent pacing - which I put down to stellar "scene shuffling", i.e., putting the scenes in an order to create maximum tension, the children's characters, especially, the boy Danny were especially well done. After reading the book, I was reminded that it is easy to fall into the "cuteness" trap when writing children and that children's inner lives can be as complex and difficult as those of adults. I was inspired to think about the childhoods of some of my main characters in more challenging ways.

A bit monotonous for a suspense novel, and slows down significantly in the middle dragging the relationship between Sydney and Ethan and keeps reminding you of the significance of Nicky, when there really is no reason.

Not the kind of book I normally read, and a little far-fetched, but great suspense and keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. A great book. It is the story of Ethan and Sydney and their struggle to save Danny, Callie, and the rest of the children from being held hostage on an island.

Romantic Suspense done right! Loved this book. I couldn't put it down. I read it at top speed, I was so anxious to know what happened. Ethan is a great wounded hero, far from perfect but trying to do the right thing. If you love heart-pounding suspense, romance, good against evil, you'll love Patricia Lewin's Blind Run.
