Natalie J. Damschroder is a new author for me. Having never heard of her before didn't stop me from requesting for an ARC of this title on Netgalley, which is to be released on the 28th of this month from Carina Press. The cover was what drew me to the story at first and then the blurb gave the impression that this could be my kind of story.

3 ½ stars. The first 80% was well done for action, suspense, and being on the run.
The ending was a weak quick summary. We don’t see the end of the main conflict. Instead it jumps to two weeks later and we hear things worked out ok. At least it was wrapped up which I liked. But it didn’t match the detail, descriptions, and action style of the rest of the book.

When I read Fight or Flight by Natalie J.Damschroder, I can only imagine the plight of the main character who had to leave everything that she had and live in a very low profile live as she feared for her life. I imagine that her life was very dark and since she had to be very careful and lay low, the possibilities of her going into the light is very unlikely.

Is it paranoia if people really are out to get you?
Regan Miller is letting go of her daughter in a way most parents do: she's sending her to college. There's a difference, though. Regan's daughter Kelsey was almost kidnapped as a baby, and her boyfriend (Kelsey's father) was murdered, so Regan did what any mother would do: changed her name and went into hiding. She also practiced being incredibly paranoid, took self-defense, and used every precaution available to keep the two of them safe.

This book very quickly sucked me in. I have always loved mysteries & suspense, and this one did not disappoint. Regan and Kelsey are two amazing women, and I loved everything about both of them. Regan was exceptionally strong for her daughter, especially having to be on the run and on-guard 24/7, always ready for anything that might be lurking around the corner for the last 19 years. I can't even imagine what that would be like to have to live that way, but yet, I know it's happened before. Once

Loved this!
At first there was too many characters and I didn't think I would get on with the story at all but about half way through it all settled down into a really good story. Compared to other books in this genre there were a lot more characters involved in the main storyline but I actually liked them all.

Fantastic book! This book is full of riveting action, strong characters, great secondary characters (love the best friend with her hockey stick!), never-ending stream of bad guys, and that hard-to-predict guilty party. I received this book after winning it in a Goodreads giveaway and decided to start reading it a couple days after receiving it in the mail. I soon became this story's addict. However, I felt that Tyler needed a better, sooner communicated acceptance than what he received. The moth

This is the second book in as many days ive read by Natalie J. Damschroder and i have to say i love her writing she goes into so much detail that sometimes it feels like you are there going through it all with them, it had everything i look for in a book, drama, romance, sex and it kept you guessing on what the outcome would be, If you have never read Natalie J. Damschroder why not?! Its a must read!

This book is an amazing, captivating, and edge of your seat type story. I was so wrapped up in the action that starts in the first chapter that I was half way through the book before I even noticed. I read it completely in one sitting If you like the kind of books that leave you guessing all the way until the last chapter that offers suspense, action, lust, and intrigue then this is definitely the book tor read.

This was a new author for me, but I must say that I will be looking for more of her books. The story was great, the characters were great. Plenty of thrills and adventure with just enough romance to keep it interesting.
I would recommend this book to all romanti thriller fans.
Thank you again Natalie Damschroder, for a definite GOOD READ!

Non-stop action! It's a fast-paced novel that gives the reader an adrenaline rush while hoping the good guys can survive. Regan has been training her daughter Kelsey since she was little on how to survive when the bad guys come. Kelsey thinks her mom may be a bit touched in the head but soon discovers that her mom was not being paranoid.

I wanted to like this more, but the fight scenes were pretty repetitive. Oh no, here's another professional goon that got his ass kicked by a girl. Yes, girls are tough. But really, these bad guys are pretty inept.

Story line was really good. The way it was written wasn't...really childish.

Great tension and action! Can't beat the story of a mother protecting her child while trying to let her become an independant, strong adult. Well done, Ms. D!

An exciting story line and believeable characters made for a fun and fast read. I would have liked a little more detail at the end but I'm finding that pretty typical of today's novels. Long build up, quick resolution.
