It begins with Red. Run, Red. Run!

In search of redemption from his sordid past, FBI Special Agent Alex Bailey takes on a new partner, Katherine Mitchel...and a new secret mission.

Before being assigned their first joint case, Katherine uncovers damning evidence against a major crime ring known as The Syndicate. The group controls key members of the DC Metropolitan Area Police, the US Congress, even the FBI, and they will stop at nothing to protect their interests. With her life on the line, Katherine is forced to put her faith in Alex as she flees from Washington, DC, and enters the Witness Protection Program.

Yet there's no hiding from The Syndicate.

In the most dangerous investigation of his career, Alex must decide how far he is willing to go to keep Katherine safe, and to stop The Syndicate.

Evolved Publishing presents the first book in The Syndicate-Born Trilogy, an exploration of what happens when one well-placed group possesses too much power, and how it affects those who just get in its way.

Get ready for the adrenaline rollercoaster

I'm an avid book listener and I throughly enjoyed 'Red on the Run' narrated by Monique Bagwell. The adrenaline rollercoaster storyline kept the reader wanting more and I followed along with ease, even with constant start and stops on my part. The narration style made it easy to follow the characters and I felt like it was more akin to storytelling rather than reading a book aloud. Her use of her voice and even breath made the words and characters come alive. I can't imagine the difficulty in creating a character from a voice alone, but one critique would be that the main character [Katherine] is such a strong/modern female, which by the way I'm excited to see a book revolve around, but her voice during fragile moments loses too much of her strength. I look forward to the rest of the series. I have been given a complimentary code in order to give an unbiased and honest review of the audiobook.

Very good read

I was given a free copy in exchange for honest review.I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Left me looking forward to the next book in the series. It has romance, betrayal and suspense. All which left me wanting more. The narrator made it enjoyable to listen to.Which is huge for an audio book.

A tense story told in a great performance

(Note: I received a free promotional code in exchange for my unbiased review.)

I found myself surprised with how quickly and compellingly the action ramps up in "Red On The Run," and like another reviewer I faced the problem of not wanting to turn it off when other things in life intervened (and I'm almost considering a ten-hour road trip just so I can listen to this recording nonstop). It's a suspenseful story that draws you in and has you holding on more quickly than you realize.

What makes this audiobook particularly compelling is Monique Bagwell's effective narration. Her smooth, steady storytelling conveys just the right sense of suspense, drama, action, excitement, worry...whatever mood a scene calls for, she weaves it with just the right touch. And her skillful personification of characters brings them to life in your mind's eye as real and believable people that you care about. Monique's narration makes a thrilling story even more compelling. You'll like this one, so check it out.

Long awkward start with a quick unsatisfying finish

I was surprised with the good reviews. What felt like the first half, or maybe more, of the book was mostly the thoughts of a desperate sex addicted man. It was extremely drawn out, which made it boring and hard to get through. When the book finally did pick up, the storyline went by so quickly. Major events happened with little to no details. I don’t think I will continue with this series.

Interesting premise+ VO gravitas= Compelling story

What starts as a smoldering slow burn in a bar between Alex and a newly single Catherine erupts into melee and descends into one intrigue after another., thanks to audiobook veteran Monique Sacay-Bagwell. Ms. Bagwell brings the gravitas and grounded versatility of roles in a clever whodunit that will keep you hanging on!
K. M. Hodge's stirring depiction of corruption, conspiracy, passion, double-dealing and plot twists confess to a head in an audiobook that invites you in, enticing you further.
