Publisher Description
For eight years, single mother Grace Archer has been living a picture-perfect life raising her daughter on a horse farm in the small town of Tallanville, Alabama. Watching Frankie grow into a talented and confident young girl has made Grace as happy as any mother could hope to be. Happy enough, even, to forget the past. But the past never quite goes away. Which is why a certain charismatic man also moved to Tallanville eight years ago to watch over her. But when violence threatens to shatter Grace and Frankie's idyllic home, the waiting is over. The ghosts of the past have returned. And they're hungry for blood. Now Grace must resume an identity she thought she had cast off forever, and match wits with an opponent as deadly as he is cunning. The prize: an extraordinary secret that only she can unfold. The forfeit: losing the thing more precious to her than life itself.

"Like most IJ novels, this one was another quick read. I'm a horse person, so I found the parts about the horses to be believable. However, I found the character of the daughter to be annoying. She was not child-like enough."

On the Run Listener Reviews

" I thought the story line was very interesting but I had trouble connecting with the characters. "
— Callie, 2/12/2014 -
" I liked it. It had a good storyline. The way the 8 year old talked and the way the main character could just talk to horses was a bit unlikely but it was an entertaining story. "
— Karla, 2/11/2014 -
" Liked this one too ... easy read - great book to fill in spots where you just need a change. "
— Bobbi, 2/10/2014 -
" You know a book is bad when the audio book keeps you awake merely so you can make scathing, sarcastic comments about the story, the writing, and the narration. On the other hand, I didn't drive off of the road in the middle of nowhere Idaho, so I suppose it did its task. "
— Tam, 2/10/2014 -
" Captivating. Keeps you reading to find out what happens "
— Diane, 2/8/2014 -

— Kate, 12/2/2013 -
" I prefer less romance and more mystery. A good book, but I have found other authors that I like a lot more. "
— Karen, 11/21/2013 -
" This book was a slow moving book..it took a lot to set up the story-line, but once it got moving there were some unexpectant moments. It was different to read one of Johansen's books with all new characters. I hope she continues to use these characters again. "
— Jerry, 8/8/2013 -
" I really enjoyed the relationship between the mother and her daughter. The spy stuff was well done, yet didn't diminish the family dynamic. Characters I cared about and a plot that kept me hopping. "
— Kaylynn, 7/1/2013 -
" well, it's not an audio book, but this seems to be the only one I can find. Like most Johansen books, I had a hard time getting started, but then it gets good and I don't want to stop till I know what's happening. "
— Nicole, 5/14/2013 -

" Great light reading. I find myself laughing at some of her musings - because I have thought the same things at times. She is an older version of Nancy Drew - solves crimes. Fun series! "

" Just finished it last night. I know her books are popular but they are rather formulaic. Strong woman, man done her wrong, in the end, they get together. blah blah blah. "
— Marilyn, 12/6/2010 -
" This was a fun, escape book. VERY predictable. Not her best but a fun read! "
— Lynne, 11/16/2010 -

" Hmmm ... I don't care much for horses and the story was a little thin IMO. Not bad but not anything to rave about either. "
— Enni, 8/9/2010 -
" I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick, good suspense/thriller read with a hint of romance but was not as graphic in detail as some writers. I would recommend this book to most anyone that likes suspense/thrillers. "
— Tammy, 8/5/2010 -

" I truly am a sucker for mystery, action and love. Through it all in and I can't refuse even if it is basicall the same plot EVERY time. When will I learn? But it is a good read. "
