The Kari AnnAlysis

Emma Caldridge, Edward Banner and Cameron Sumner made it out of the Colombian jungle, but they’re adventures are far from being over. While Emma is running an ultramarathon in South Africa, a roadside bomb goes off and she is stuck with an epi-like pen. Whatever is in this pen gives her extreme energy. Little does she know this isn’t the only pen around and it will soon lead her to the pirated waters of Somalia to help save Sumner, in return for saving her life in Running from the Devil.

Good news to all of you have been reading Freveletti’s book, she told me through Twitter that she IS working on a third installment for this series!

Normally, I am all about the fluff books. I go through work, on a daily basis and have stories about murder, shootings, stabbings, rape, you name it. So by the time I get home, all I want to read about are frilly dresses, high school drama and puppies. So, as you can imagine, coupling some current events into my reading isn’t what I normally go for. But I absolutely love this series, for just that reason. I love that what happens in these books could really happen in real life. And it makes it kind of scary. I did read though that Freveletti had written this before pirating got big. Maybe she shouldn’t write another one if she’s going to cause crazy things like pirates to take over

As in the first book, Emma Caldridge is a great character. She’s very empowering for women. She is extremely smart, she thinks on her toes and she makes the rest of us look good, even if we would be sitting in the corner crying while she is stirring concoctions to kill the pirates.

I did feel like this one lagged a little compared to the first book. I give Running Dark 4 bookmarks.
