Running Scared
#1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson draws readers into a tension-filled story of suspense, as a woman’s secret past returns with a vengeance . . .
Kate Summers’ teenage son, Jon, has been having nightmares. Someone is chasing him, the footsteps drawing relentlessly nearer. Jon can’t see the man’s face. He only senses that danger is coming—and there’s no way to stop it.
“Never tell anyone he’s not your boy,” was the warning. And Kate hasn’t. Not since the day fifteen years ago when she was offered what she most wanted—a healthy newborn baby. He was hers to keep, provided she moved far away, for good. She’s kept her word, raising Jon in a small Oregon town, lying to him for both their sakes. Despite his gift—or curse—of premonition, Jon hasn’t divined that he was adopted illegally. But now Kate’s long-ago choices are engulfing the life she’s tried to build.
Daegan O’Rourke has come to this remote corner of the Pacific Northwest to find answers only Kate can give. He understands why she’s wary of him, but there’s a far greater threat at hand. Someone is tracking Jon down—ready to kill him and anyone who gets in the way. And convincing Kate to trust him, even once she knows the whole shocking truth, is Daegan’s only hope of keeping them alive . . .

Great book
I love this author as never disappointing. Well written and is a page turner. Lots of twists and keeps you guessing. Highly recommended if you love psychological thrillers!
Kindle Customer –
Good book overall
I enjoyed this book. It is a good psychological thriller. The story dipped into some deep family dynamics. The story of emotional struggles as young people struggle with bias and identity issues. The story did drag at times but overall a good read

So On Edge!
I loved this book and loved staying on edge. Why is Kate given the opportunity to keep Jon? She ends up being a great Mom to him, but what happens when he finds out he’s adopted? Daegan just found out about his son and loved to their town. Who wants Jon harmed? Will Daegan actually disclose who’s Jon actual parents are? The scandal will be high. Loved the chemistry between Kate and Daegan, will she give him a chance? I did have happy tears in the end. I highly recommend this book.

Okay read
It’s a decent story but it drags in so many areas. I found myself skimming through the pages. Too much soap opera. But I finished it even though I knew how it was going to end. Just too Jackson way too long to get there.

Very different from anything else that I have read by Lisa and it made a lovely change. I couldn’t help but love the main characters and was urging them on all the way. Thank you, Lisa for giving me a different experience and making me fall in love with the protagonists.
