Casey Cox is running for her life. She's been accused of brutally stabbing her best friend and is in hiding until she can prove her innocence. After receiving a mysterious package from her deceased friend, Casey believes that dirty cops are behind both his murder and her father's. Meanwhile, Dylan Roberts has returned from his deployment oversees to learn that his childhood friend, Brent, was murdered and that Casey is the primary suspect. Brent's parents hire Dylan to track down Casey and bring her home so justice can be served. But the more Dylan investigates the murder himself and gets push back from the detectives working the case, the more inconsistencies he finds. Although he's on the hunt for Casey, Dylan questions if she's Brent's real killer.

Blackstock presents readers with a thrilling and intense page-turner in If I Run. Danger follows Casey everywhere she hides. Readers are given bits and pieces to the mystery of Brent's murder along the way creating additional suspense. The alternating first-person accounts of the drama provide a unique prospective. I felt however, that the "Laura Daly" point of the plot was a little out of place. Rather convenient that Casey happened to see that newspaper in the background of the photo....and what would possess her to investigate Frank's house based on something seemingly so insignificant? If it wasn't the vehicle used to get Casey and Dylan's paths to cross, I would just say that Casey had a very active imagination. It seemed that this part of the story was only added to give the reader something more to digest. Overall, If I Run provided a good foundation for this series full of danger and excitement.

This review contains my own thoughts and opinions. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.

Casey is on the run and she has some secrets that could get those close to her killed. Can she uncover the truth before its to late? Dylan is home from the military and is suffering from PTSD. He is looking for a job and when he is approached to find his best friends killer. When he starts to uncover some secrets he wonders if there is more to all of this then meets the eye?

I will start off saying this is NOT a romance book. This book is told in a first person narrative by both people. This book is on the edge of your seat hard to put down kind of books. The author throws twist and turns in the story through out. The way the story was written was well however the way the story starts off leaves you confused at first until it starts to truly play out. The story does end in a cliff hanger which I hate because I so want to know what happens but in a good way that means there is more to the story and there is more to play out. I can't wait to read more about Casey and hopefully Dylan. This book is worth the read and if you have never read anything by Terri Blackstock grab some of her other books they are sooo good.
