OMG! This was great! Lots of action, great characters, a little humor, a little sexual tension, lots of bad guys and more action. Erin Baker is a great new character and I can't wait to read more about her. Should be a great series! Kick ass CIA officer with a tremendous love for her damaged family and a strong moral compass for doing what's right even if it's not exactly legal or best for her career. MUST READ!


I received a copy of this book from eBook Discovery in exchange for my honest review.

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.

Wow! Patricia Lewin writes suspense so well! I couldn't put it down. Love the heroine, and I hope there are more Erin Baker novels in the future!

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.

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.

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.

This caught my attention on page 1 and kept me wanting to read every page thereafter. I enjoyed this simple suspense novel, which avoided any real graphic violence, but did contain some difficult issues like child abduction and slavery, beatings, fights and shootings. All leading to a very predictable ending.

A risiing star in the CIA, Erin Baker is driven by tragedy from her past. When her 8 yrs old sister was kidnapped at the park while she was supposed to be watching her. She was 12 and has blamed herself all these years. In pursuit of one missing boy, she and Alex Donovan, another FBI agent find two missing boys. Her sister's memory returned at the institution when the kidnapper appeared in her room. At the end, she was released and the kidnapper was killed.½
