Run: Outmatch, Outsmart, Outlive Kindle Edition

by Christy Cooper-Burnett (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 45 ratings

"An adrenaline rush of a book that hooked me from the first page." -Haris Orkin, author of the James Flynn Escapade series

Kendra Thompson's simple life goes from predictable to living nightmare when her sixteen-year-old son Kyle records the unthinkable.

Now Kendra and her son are running for their lives, hunted by a vicious street gang with eyes and ears everywhere, who are determined to silence Kyle forever. In a deadly race to stay one step ahead of a ruthless gang, a crooked cop, and a corrupt politician, Kendra is the only one who can save him from a web of corruption that leaves her with almost no one she can trust.

Their lives hang in the balance as two strangers become their best chance for survival-a gutsy truck driver and her brother, a retired DEA agent with a questionable past.

Kendra's fierce determination to save her son and outmatch their pursuers is put to the test as she discovers just how far she is willing to go and what she will sacrifice to protect her child.

But where can a desperate mother turn for help when she can't trust anyone, and everyone has a stake in finding them?

    This was a very good story, I found myself hurrying through the pages to see what would happen. it was worth the two or three hours it took me to read it even rushing through it. it was a fun read exciting and not a blooding kill him shoot him up bang bang story just a real good story about a mother and her son taking care of himself and keeping himself alive from some very bad people. It’s a kind of story you want to happen in real life. I really enjoyed reading it. so buy it and you’ll enjoy it too. There were a few bad words in it, but not enough to who that just a really good story and you will be happy with the ending.

    4.0 out of 5 stars How far would you go for Family?
    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2025
    Really liked this story. It had relatable characters with honest feelings. Ending was a little abrupt for me but definitely was a good read. Makes you ask yourself how far would you go to keep your family safe? Would you risk everything? I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A well executed, fun read that would make a great movie
    Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2024
    I was attracted to this book because I have a granddaughter named - you guessed it - Kendra Thompson. I honestly was not expecting much beyond the novelty of a character with her name. After all, if a gang wants you and they're big enough, bad enough, and well organized enough, then you're toast. If they aren't any of those things, then a reasonably intelligent person should be able to allude them. Either way the outcome is never in doubt and the only suspense would be in the potential for "near misses" along the way. Granted, there are some near misses in the book (no spoilers there, I hope) but let's just say Christy Cooper-Burnett took the whole thing to another level. The "bad guys" are definitely big, bad, and well organized enough. However, the protagonist is one tough lady who exhibits these traits herself. Now stir in some lucky happenstances along the way and combine it all using Cooper-Burnett's excellent writing skills and you have a well executed fun read that would make a great movie.
