Welcome to New York with a SUV and guns chasing Colback, runs into a police station. So did they, saying they were agents, and he was wanted for a planned terrorist attack. Even the captain, tells them he is all there’s. To escape was his only choice, a quick leap on a motorcycle, coming up by him, to learn later her name was Eva. A sister to one of those he knew in the Green Berets. She wanted answers about her brother’s death, knowing now ESO was behind it. Would have been best to back away, but that wasn’t her thing. The chase is on, and as a reader, you want the details. A new author, and thought it was a superb plot, unusual, moved fast, and kept you to the end. Given ARC by Net Galley and Thomas & Mercer for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

This book was just full of non-stop action with events constantly going on. Really well written and I look forward to reading more.

Absolutely the best thriller I have read this year. I finished this book in 4 hours. I could not put it down. Loved the storyline and the main character, Eva was fantastic. Lots of unexpected twists and turns. There was definitely a surprise at the end

A fast moving action packed story that is hard to put down. Worth reading. If you like this genre you will like this book,

A CIA trained young woman is in pursuit of her brother's killers. Lots of gunfights and numerous chase scenes propelled me through this fast moving book. "Run and Hide" was a fun summer read.

Alan McDermott’s newest novel “Run and Hide” should fulfill the dreams of every conspiracy theorist who reads it. If your beliefs lie elsewhere, you may find it difficult to suspend disbelief through this entire book.

I could appreciate the tightly woven storyline that neatly wrapped all the characters together in a natural fashion. When the author first began unloading new names every chapter, I felt a bit overwhelmed and questioned how Mr. McDermott would pull it all together and have everything make sense. By the middle of the book, however, he deftly roped in all the characters and tied them neatly together. This was the five-star element of the book.

Unfortunately, other aspects weren’t given the same top-notch treatment. Main character Eva Driscoll is skimpily drawn. We know little about her except what we see when she is in action: a smart, cold, calculating woman whose skills place her in superhero status. Eva’s prowess is matched by Henry Langton, a shadowy person who, through his masquerade as a philanthropist, actually is the most powerful person in the world. This sets up the classic match between the female superhero and a super-villain. This is great fodder for comic book fans, but not for readers looking for a serious thriller.

On numerous occasions, scenes are “rewound” so that readers first see it through the perspective of Eva and her partners and then once again through the eyes of their adversaries. While this can be a way to introduce necessary facts, these extra chapters added nothing new to the book and only achieved slowing the pacing of the story. If the author felt it was important to see both views, flipping back and forth in real time would have been more effective. Forcing the reader to relive several events twice served no purpose.

The ending was anticlimactic as I felt the author inserted his own spoiler, leaving readers nothing to do until they reach the expected finish. Although Mr. McDermott sets up for a second book, “Run and Hide” stands on its own as a complete story. While this book was okay, I found it over the top and difficult to believe as well as identify with the main characters, and probably will pass on the next offering. Three stars.

Before I start with my review, I have to be honest here and say I'm probably not the right target group for this one. While I like my thrillers fast and action-packed, it becomes pretty obvious early on that Run And Hide is basically a male-focused story and some of the comments included can come over as sexist. This probably has had a negative influence on my opinion and I do think male readers who like fast spy and action thrillers will have a lot better time than I did with this story. But let's talk a bit further about my own experience with this story. Besides the sometimes crude comments and other possibly sexist references, I had a hard time connecting to the writing style in general. This made it harder to fully focus on the story and keep myself invested in the plot. The plot itself was a little too much for me and not credible at all, but I guess it would probably make for a perfect Hollywood blockbuster action movie. Over the top, extreme, with a lot of gun action and fighting scenes... National safety at stake and a conspiracy plot and all; oh yes, Run And Hide would probably translate very well to the screen. As a book I wasn't too sure the story actually worked though. There were too many different storylines and POVs for me, making it hard tracking them all and figuring out who is who. While most of them turned out to be important to the plot, I would have preferred less POVs and a more indirect introduction instead. The main characters have potential, but I personally wasn't convinced by how Eva Driscoll was described. Again, this might have just been me not belonging to the intended target group though. Overall I was fully expecting to enjoy this story better, especially since I like a healthy dose of action scenes, but sadly Run And Hide wasn't for me.

Run And Hide is fast, ruthless and lethal. I'm positive the right target group will absolutely love this action-packed spy thriller that reads like a blockbuster action movie. I myself had problems with both the credibility, male-focused comments and writing style in general, but like I said before that might just be me not being the right target group for this one. If you are able to connect to the writing style, you won't find a boring minute in this story.

I love a strong heroine who doesn't come across as hard and brittle, Eva Driscoll is just such a heroine. She's smart and crafty without losing any of her humanity.

Great suspense and good character development, I felt the tension along with the characters all the way along. They were up against impossible odds but used their wits to overcome their adversaries. This is a wonderful series and I can't wait to read the next book.

Eve Driscoll is out for revenge. Her brother was killed and she is determined to find out who was behind it. Eve is a top CIA agent who has been put on a shoot to kill list. A very powerful organization with world wide tentacles is out to stop her. She is left with very few friends to help her.

This book starts out with a bang and the action never stops. There was a spot in the book where the conspiracy theory lost me for a minute. It felt a little too political for me. I kept reading and was able to get past my issue. The book kept me interested enough to keep reading to see how the author was going to wrap it up. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Wow, I don't usually read books like this but I'm sure glad I accepted this read from the publisher. This book is full of excitement, intrigue, and adventure. What would you do if someone from the government was trying to kill you????? Run, of course..........but where do you go? Help arrives on a motorcycle and away we go!!!!! I do not like make protagonists in the books I read but Alan McDermott has changed my mind about that. Enjoy!!

You open the book and it's GO, GO, GO! Yep, this is all caps ACTION from the start and it's fun right through to the end. This has kept me amused during the intense heatwave bathing the world, which may be why it felt like a summer blockbuster from Hollywood. One of the goods ones. You know, you go for the explosions and end up enjoying the plot before you realise it.

I guess in some respects I should be disappointed, I was sold on a mysterious thriller and his really doesn't deliver much in that regard. It's not that there aren't any questions to answer, more that you're too busy riding the adrenaline wave to notice they haven't been answered. You get the odd, brief, chapter which dials it back slightly for some exposition but basically, this story focuses on what's happening in that exact moment. But, even as a lover of really dark, brooding thrillers, I did enjoy this. Sometimes you just want to kick back and relax, which this was ideal for.

Driscoll takes clear centre stage and is a bit of an anti-hero. A classic, slightly too perfect person with a few rough edges. Through her adventure, she has some equally spot-on associates. The too smart to be appreciated computer genius, the ask no questions criminal contacts who can supply anything and everything, the old flames left in her wake... you can identify everyone. Even down to the blacked out Jeeps for the people chasing her. Despite the obvious tropes of these characters, anyone of any significance does avoid being two dimensional though. There are backstories that tie people together cleverly. Small details that humanise them and make it all fall into place. There's clever distraction too, and that does add a slight mystery flavour.

The plot is a nice balance between not being too convoluted and not being too simple, although it is nearer the simple end of the spectrum. It's perfect for a plane or train, or a lunch in the park. There are numerous good break points alongside the healthy dose of must-read page-turning scenes so you can manage the reading comfortably.

All in all, it's a fun and enjoyable action story. You won't be scratching your head or working on cracking the case yourself, but you can enjoy the adventure because it does that wonderfully and then delivers an extra dose of pleasure on top.

Another great read. A political thriller filled with action and a cast of characters the reader will want to follow in the future. The villains are BIG Money and are secretly running the country. Our heroine is a former CIA agent/assassin who is looking for the people responsible for her brother’s death. She links up with a former member of Special Forces who is also on the kill list and who was her brother’s friend. The interaction between them and the few others they bring into their group is grabbing and will keep any reader up late. Thanks to Net Galley and Thomas and Mercer for an ARC for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book - pure James Bond/Jason Borne/Mission Impossible type escapism, with a far-fetched conspiracy theory underlying it. Or, looking at the world today, maybe not so far-fetched! From the very beginning, this story gripped me.
If you need an exceptionally entertaining break from reality, with well written prose and interesting characters, I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
There were a number of peripheral characters, that I thought would be developed - maybe they will feature in future books by Alan McDermott.
I will be seeking out other books by Alan McDermott, as he has real talent.

WOW!
Once you start this book, hang on to something. You will be going on a fast paced ride.
The action starts and never lets up!
It stops at the end but just enough for you to get a breath and look to purchase the next.
It seems to be a part of a series but this is a complete book. You are not left upset because the action stopped in the middle of the climactic ending. Well written story

Truly thrilling conspiracy filled spy novel. A highly trained operative takes on the black ops government when they have her war hero brother assasinated. With the last remaining member of her brothers squad, her former CIA compatriot and a whole lot of attitude, this well written book keeps you on the edge of your seat until the last page. Highly recommend

This story is scary because it could really happen. If you are intrigued, you can read and review it via NetGalley or wait until 22 Aug 2018 for it to go live. Be aware that there is violence as well as adult language and situations that if you are sensitive to, you might wish to stay away from this story.

Rees Colback, former Special Forces, and Eva Driscoll, Special Operator, meet in an unconventional way. That happens when someone is out to take you down. It will take their combined skills and her connections to figure out the why and who.

I really enjoyed the character development. The "good guys" weren't perfect or superheroes. The "bad guys" were not stupid but stuff happens to frustrate their efforts. Their reactions are equal to their skill level.

Eva and Rees are awesome characters. I definitely want to see more books with them. One of the best books I have read in a while

Action packed and fast paced from start to finish. Eva is a great character who dominates the book as she tries to find the truth as to why her brother was killed by helping Colback who is the next target. The book is left leaving us thinking there may be another. I hope so!

Eva, the feisty main protagonist in the story, is a former assassin for the CIA. She believes she has been killing the enemies of her country. When her brother is killed, she questions her whole basis of her previous life and finds things are not as she’d thought. This is a brilliant conspiracy theory novel. Taking a stand, she finds things get worse for her, and the ex-soldier who shares her task. She’s a resourceful woman and we go from thinking she’ll make it to fearing she’s doomed – and back. Bringing in an old lover of hers was a master stroke from author Alan McDermott. He has always written an exciting novel. Here, he’s surpassed himself. A brilliant read.

An exciting story. What do you do to fight the wealthiest men in the world who seem to control the world? Just get the few best people together. A little gory toward the end, but a fast-paced book that reads quickly.

Great book, action-filled from the first page. If you love the heart pounding feeling of being chased, looking over your shoulder and seeing big brother right behind you, this book is for you. Not to give anything away, but just want to say I don't want to believe a select few people can have the power to have citizens eliminated by our government. Overall a good book, kept my attention and couldn't put it down.

Eva Driscoll is CIA and she has served her country by taking out those who would harm the USA. She is watching Rees Colback, one of her brother’s former Special Forces squad team members, when he is nearly abducted from a New York street. He is able to get away and she follows him and rescues him. She tells him that her brother was found dead of a faked overdose suicide and he was to be next. They team up to find out who is after him and now her since she has gone rogue. Eva Driscoll is a trained badass and she will not give up until she finds out who murdered her brother. Mr. McDermott has written a faced pace action, suspense and mystery that will grab your attention from the very first page. He is also the author of the “Tom Gray” books and we will catch up with Tom and Andrew from that series. A thrill ride that you won’t want to miss! I look forward to the next book in the Eva Driscoll series. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to give an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

Although there are conspiracy elements to this book, I found it exciting and interesting. Books such as this one aren't my usual choice, but when it was offered I decided to give it a try and i'm glad that I did.

You need to keep your wits about you when reading this super fast-paced thriller where the unbelievable happens. Eva Driscoll enlists help from two of Toms old crew when her brother is said to have committed suicide, she is convinced that he would never have taken his own life and this is confirmed when other members of his team are confirmed dead. She is determined to get answers but has no idea what she is up against.

This book is full of non-stop action. An army unit is being killed off in civilian life. The sister of one of the guys, Eva is after the group. She saves the life of Colback the last of the unit her brother was in.
they go after the shadowy group that is running the country and most of the world. Eva is badass and shows how smart she is as she goes up against this shadow group.

I enjoyed the writing and the people who came to help them. There was unexpected help from all sides.

lots of action and double crosses. thank you, Net Galley, for giving me a chance to find a new author.
Loved the end. hope to read more about this ragtag group.

Rees Colback, a marked man not knowing someone decided to end his life. Retired from the CIA because of an injury and finds that all of his former men coworkers that worked with him are all dead now. He is trying to escape from the CIa that is chasing him and can't figure out why when he is rescued by his best friends sister a CIA agent that wants to find out who killed her brother. A lot of action and a very intense story with twists and turns to the end!

My first book by Alan McDermott. Grabbed me before I finished page one. Read it straight through and then started reading the Tom Gray series in anticipation of what else the author has penned. Wow! Not disappointed! This is a stand alone book with a few characters from the Tom Gray series appearing, but I didn't realize that when I read it pre-Tom Gray, and it didn't matter at all. I can't wait for the authors next book. Great read from a creative and talented writer.

Eva is a long and loyal serving solder for the CIA, well that's what she thought anyway, however one of her brothers friends life may be at risk and sticking her neck out only shows what that loyalty really means. But is this a personal battle of a very competitive lady or is there anything a lot deeper going on, not prone to the they are out to get me brigade make this a great thriller. As is a must for any thriller to work there has to be a number of twists and turns this you won't be disappointed in. The strength of our heroes can leave the enemy wanting and can avoid over doing the blood and gore, but the blood spillage and body count is not low. For that to make sense you will need to read the book. I don't think you will be disappointed as this book has a lot going for it and I love way Alan has ended this story and I'm sure you will want to read a lot more of his books. Our heroes are real action pack hero's that put super heroes to shame, as these are pure purpose driven and focused driven that makes them the sort that many will have dreamed of once having out grown the super hero stage of life (will let you know when I get there) but with a desire to right the wrong. However first you have to know who is the right and who is in the wrong. Enjoy this trip of discovery and see where the halo falls.

This is my kind of story. Lately I've been reading other types of books and I'm so glad I picked Alan McDermott’s newest book to read next. Where have I been? This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I couldn’t put it down.

I loved the plot and the main character, Eva Driscoll. She is tough and smart and great at her job, which is basically killing people for the wrong reasons, she finds out in this story. I appreciate the author’s knowledge of weapons, politics and history. The book definitely kept me guessing – the story line has many twists and turns, of which some really surprised me. If there is a book two, I will be reading it!!

Fast paced action packed "page turner" book. Characters are well developed. 'Government within the government cabal is reminiscent of "the X Files smoking man" minus the aliens, "The Blacklist " TV series or "Illuminati"stories. Conspiracy theorists will enjoy this book. Primed for a follow up book with this theme and characters.

This book was given to me by NetGalley for a fair review.

I found this book to be exciting and thought provoking. The plot and action continue to flow through out the entire book. I was captivated at the idea of one group (ESO) running the world with all the power to make wars happen and have anyone killed with a snap of their fingers, and the lengths they go to while keeping it all under wraps.
I hope that Mr. McDermott has more of these books coming out as I would love to follow these characters as a group working together.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. So much action! I could not put it down. I just had to know what was going to happen next. This is a perfect example of a first class thriller. Totally loved it.

An Interesting book. The idea that there is a group of very, very rich men ruling the world? Ridiculous - isn't it? I'm not so sure after reading this book. Lots of killing and car crashes for those who love them. Spies hunting spies, black operators hunting black operators.

Really enjoyed it. Makes you think about the world today - well it made me think anyway!

Read three chapters and gave up. I enjoy thrillers, but when the heroes (or villains) have over-the-top capabilities, I find that just plain boring.

Run and Hide by Alan McDermott is an high octane thriller that never stops from the beginning to the end.

The main character is Eva Driscoll who is trying to avenge the murder of her brother as she battles a secretive organisation who have fingers in a lot of pies.

The book is a nice easy read if you like this type of thriller

Recommended

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview Run and Hide by Alan McDermott. This may be Book 1 of a series because the ending was open ended.
If you like conspiracy theory, the government is out to get you, books, this is the book for you. Lots of action with some suspense.
Characters were ok, and some of this was just not believeable. All in all, if you like this type of book, it will get your juices flowing.

My heart was in my throat from start to finish on this novel.. it’s very high intensity, but people will read all night to find out what happens next. It has CIA operatives, foreign agents, super rich bad guys and a great conspiracy plot.. I’m not sure I could read McDermott really often, but he certainly did keep my attention.. it’s a remarkable plot, and in places almost too real to contemplate. Thriller fans are going to love this one.

A fast paced action thriller! Although this isn’t my typical kind of book to read, I did enjoy it.

A government secret assassin discovers that her brother has been murdered and on further investigation that his comrades in a special forces unit seems to has been pick off one by one. She manages to save the sole survivor as he about to be targeted. There after follows a story of her wits matched against superior odds that are determined to eliminate her and her companions while she is determined to win though and track down the secret organisation behind it all. A most thrilling story involving high politics and rick rollicking action with the heroes just surviving to live another day

"Run and Hide" presents a troop of characters who quickly get to grips with providing solutions to any conceivable problem. The unrelenting scheming keeps pace with the rate Eva Driscoll dispatches these problems, which is carried out with stealth and efficiency.

Eva is just one of the many pawns in this mammoth game of political chess - but now she has a personal quest: to obtain answers and ultimately justice for her murdered brother. People will be held accountable – whoever they are, whatever their position, and at any cost. Even those pulling the strings at the highest level who ironically display the lowest regard for everyone else.

The hazards are plentiful, the feats impressive, the group dynamic... maybe not so much. Although Eva’s unfaltering and effective kick-ass attitude met every challenge head on, the crowd of people that builds around her immediate circle and beyond grows considerably preventing me from getting to know anyone else in any great detail, and consequently believing in them.

Probably best to just sit back and enjoy the ride with this one. But expect a steadily rising body count and no mercy.

*** ACTUAL RATING: 3.5 / 5 ***

Meet Eva Driscoll, Woman On A Mission

Eva is hunting a man on a busy New York street, and it seems she has marked him for death. But soon you learn that all is not what is seems. Rees Colback is the target, having left the army for a job opportunity in New York City. Soon his Special Forces sixth sense kicks in and he realizes he is being stalked.

Thus begins Run and Hide, a book you will be immersed in as you learn how the evil plot unfolds. It is a wild ride, with unbelievable turns that slowly reveal the unimaginable truth and clever moves that it takes to reach the inevitable confrontation of good and evil. Captivating from the very first chapter, Alan McDermott has created another thriller that draws you into the plot quickly and never lets you go.

Thank you, NetGalley, for a free advance copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

I am not big on government based books but I really enjoyed this book and had to finish to see happened to Eva and her crew, definitely would have been 5 star review if not for killing a bunch of kids. Not necessary.

I would like to thank Amazon Publishing UK, Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘Run And Hide’ by Alan McDermott in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
The Executive Security Office controls security in the US and Eva Driscoll who’s worked for the CIA believes they were responsible for the faked suicide of her brother Jeff and his friend Danny. Eva watches as Rees Colback is chased through Manhattan by men in a black SUV and as Rees worked for Special Forces in Afghanistan with Jeff and Danny there’s a good chance those chasing him are also responsible for the death of her brother. She rescues Rees and together they attempt to work out why the ESO has marked them for elimination. Can they discover the truth before they’re caught?
‘Run And Hide’ comes across as an exciting and fast-paced thriller with a well-executed plot and twists and turns. A big disappointment however are the characters who I didn’t find believable and although I kept going in the hope I was eventually going to enjoy it, I struggled to get to the end and called it a day half-way through. I’m sure a lot of readers will love this type of thriller but I’m afraid I’m not one of them.

It's no secret that I am a major fan of this author since he self published his first book, Gray Justice, in 2011 and was overjoyed when he was picked up by a publisher. I have loved every one of Tom Gray's subsequent adventures, along with the author's other book Trojan. So, I was over the moon when I heard he had started a new series. But... Would I like it? How would it compare to Tom? So, it was with a fair bit of trepidation that I started this, the first in the Eva Driscoll series. Obviously, you'll have already guessed from my 5 star rating that I. Loved. This. Book! Yes, Tom has a wee cameo in it and Sonny and Len do star a bit so I wasn't completely in uncharted waters for my entire journey, giving the book a familiar feel character-wise. But it was the tight plotting, the attention to detail and research that really sets this author out from the crowd. I don't know where he gets his ideas from but they all contain current themes, skilfully interwoven around fiction. Fiction that is so credible that these books mostly scare the pants off me as there is nothing included that couldn't happen (or possible already does happen) in real life.
Having Sonny and Len in this book did help the balance of characters as Eva herself is a bit enigmatic. We get to know a bit about her past but the rest of what we read about her is action all the way. Given who she is and what she has done and is indeed going to do in this book, it's hardly surprising that you don't really get to go under her skin in this, her first outing. But, that said, I connected to her right from the off, and was well able to take her at face value, so none of that really mattered to me in this book. As the plot develops, you really get to understand why she is so closed. Spoilers obviously prevent me illustrating this here though.
Obviously, knowing this author and the way he sucks me into his books, I planned my reading accordingly, on a day where I could read start to finish with out interruptions. That turned out to be a great plan as it soon became obvious that I really wouldn't have liked to have put it down for anything longer than comfort breaks, coffee replenishment and a quick snack!
The action takes place mostly in the USA. I've never been to New York but I have heard from others that it is realistic so I'll have to take that on face value. But again, knowing this author and his attention to detail, I am happy to accept this as truth. I also loved the political aspects of this book, scarily believable like all his books, maybe too much so. I wonder if he has to watch his six when he is out and about these days?
There are a lot of supporting cast to be found but that didn't faze me as they were all quite distinct and we got to know them well enough throughout the book as the plot developed. It probably helped that quite a few were already known to me from the author's previous books, whether that would be a hindrance to others, I can't say. I'm also not always the biggest fan of characters crossing series, especially for continuity (they do this more and more on TV with CSI and NCIS and the like these days and it irks me if I'm not in the same place with the crossover program) but again, as I am all caught up with the Tom Gray series and have read Trojan, I'm OK with it here.
It really is action packed all the way, although it has to be mentioned that the action complements rather than overshadows the plot, and then, at the end, when the dust is beginning to settle, the author throws a bone in. Not a cliffhanger by the way, this is a complete story in itself. It's more of a teaser, setting things up for what I hope will be an equally brilliant second outing for Eva. One which I am really hanging to read.
My thanks go to the Publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book.

Superb thriller.
I hadn't read anything by the author before but I was looking forward to it as the reviews were good.
Drew me in from page one and found myself itching to getting back to it every time I had to put it down.
Excellent construction with very likable characters (Oh boy, how much would I love to have Eve's capabilities!) and a plot that never loses pace.
Already looking for more titles by this author.
A weekend well spent on this one. Many thanks.

The perfect blend of suspense, thriller, conspiracy mystery, and set up to a new franchise! I loved every moment of this book. The characters were unique, the plot compelling, and the stakes high. Eva is certainly not one to be messed with! I shot through the book in about two days - I couldn't put it down! Highly recommended to fans of Lee Child or James Patterson.

I enjoyed this fast paced action packed thriller and the heroine Eva Driscoll. It held my interest from page one and I am looking forward to reading the second Eva Driscoll book.

We are following the story of CIA trained Eva Driscoll, who is avenging her brother's murder, with the help of the only member of her brother's Special Forces squad hasn't been murdered yet. Eva needs to find out why her brother and his squad have been targeted and she is determined to kill the people behind this conspiracy, before those people kill her.

I can have trouble keeping up with the action when there is a lot of fast paced shooting, but throughout all the action scenes, they were so well written that I could visualize them as they happened. There is a second book that will continue Eva's search for the people behind this conspiracy and I'll be sure to read that book when it is published.

I do think Eva seemed too "perfect" despite her flaws. She is this superwoman who can outwit the best, despite being in situations that appear to be overwhelming. I set that aside and just went with the flow of the book, accepting that Eva is so good at what she does that there is no way I can understand just how everything can come together so well. I'm pretty sure Eva would make a great female James Bond.

Thank you to Alan McDermott. Amazon Publishing UK, Thomas & Mercer, and NetGalley, for this ARC.

One tough female who is equal to any bodyguard.High interest, full of action, and surprising character choices. Love reading a thriller where the heroine saves the day!

Again, thanks to Netgalley for the copy. What a well written thriller I hardly could put aside. An unexpected end with the right twist to wish for the story to continue. I only can reccomend it to read
