Run Rabbit Run
Sophie’s in trouble. Must be Tuesday.

But she has gone on the run.
Now Sophie’s desperately seeking whoever’s trying to frame and kill her. She’s being forced to work with the least trustworthy man in Europe, MI5 is following her every move, and she’s had to leave the tall, blond, god of a man she loves behind.
Luke Sharpe works for MI6. Or did, until his girlfriend became a murder suspect.
Doing nothing wasn’t an option, so he started investigating. Who cares if it is means jeopardising his career? Sophie’s everything he used to say he never wanted. Young, irresponsible, bright and mad. Now she’s just everything – and she has to live.
She will live, won’t she?

About the author
Kate Johnson
38 books543 followersKate Johnson lives in rural Essex where she belongs to a pride of cats and puts up with a demon puppy. She did actually do most of her homework, but quickly so as to have more time to stare out of the window thinking about heroes. Stay in school, kids. Kate has done a variety of not-particularly great jobs, ranging from airport check-in to lab assistant, but much prefers writing for a living. For one thing, the hours are better, and no one ever tells her off for not ironing her shirt. In fact, the lack of ironing might be the single greatest advantage to being an author. Kate loves going off at mad tangents, which you’d surely never have guessed, but also enjoys reading romance and fantasy, watching funny stuff on TV, drinking coffee by the gallon and occasionally leaving the house. The Untied Kingdom is her first novel to be published in the UK.

Original review: http://www.booksbiscuitsandtea.co.uk/...
I’ve always loved mysteries and powerful heroines so when I was asked if I wanted to review this book, I was delighted and couldn’t wait to get started. Run Rabbit Run is the fifth instalment in the Sophie Green series and not being familiar with the previous books, I had no idea whether I could get into it or not or. But once again, Choc Lit presented me with a gripping story I was unable to put down and which kept me awake all night – I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Run Rabbit Run tells the story of Sophie Green, an ex-spy who gets accused of killing an MI5 officer. An officer who’s been shot with Sophie’s gun, whose office is full of Sophie’s fingerprints, and who Sophie visited on the day he was found dead. To make things even worse, the guard who might have seen her enter and leave the building, i.e. the only witness, is also found dead. And this is when Sophie flees, even though she knows she’s innocent. All the while MI5 and the CIA are following her every step and if this wasn’t enough, she still needs to find out who framed her before it’s too late.
Sophie is one of those characters who I had an instant connection with. She’s funny and sarcastic and most importantly, tough. I could literally hear her speak while I was reading the book – she reminded me a little bit of Sarah Millican. Take Sarah, give her a few guns, put her in an episode of ‘Spooks‘ or ‘Criminal Minds’ and you have Sophie: witty, sarcastic, funny, someone who finds it hard to stop talking and someone who adores cats. Fabulous!
I loved the fact that you simply never knew what was coming. I tried to put myself in Sophie’s place and imagine how it might be to be on the run, knowing that spies are following my every move. When you know you can’t stay in one place for a long time, in case someone’s been following you. I’d be terrified.
There was only one thing I didn’t particularly like – for me, there were a few unnecessary episodes in this novel. Sophie visits so many places while she’s on the run that after a while, I almost kept forgetting where she was coming from. A little bit after I was halfway through the book, I thought it was dragging on a little bit but thank goodness the last 70-80 pages make up for this.
If I had to pick one book that I think could be made into a successful film then I think Run Rabbit Run would be my number one choice. Kate Johnson created such a gripping story that, even though I wasn’t familiar with this series, I found it really hard to put it down. And here I was again, staying up until 1 a.m, clutching my Kindle in a white knuckle death grip and hoping that Sophie would make it to the end. Johnson did a fantastic job and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what she comes up with next.

"A car gets blown up, and it's either going to Al Queda or Sophie Green."
I haven't read the first four books of this series, but when Choc Lit released the fifth one, this one, I figured in order for them to release a book they didn't have the first four for, that it would be able to stand alone, and I can't resist a woman spy.
It can stand alone. Even though some characters were in the book that obviously had run ins and experiences with Sophie in previous books, I never found myself confused.
Sophie is a woman spy...gone rogue and not by choice. She's been framed for murder. So she goes on the lam, a hot Jack in tow (Savvy?) and though at first they're at each other throats and pointing fingers, they end attracted to each other. Car bombs and bullets tend to draw people together, you know?

This was my least favorite of the Sophie Green series. While she is always going on about how much she loves Luke she seems to find herself sleeping with other men very easily, be it while they are broken up for a short period of time or in this case cheating on him.
I didn't find Sophie as quirky and funny in this book as in her previous tales, which I hope is not a new thread either. I know with this book the author changed publishers and I am wondering if that has anything to do with the change in Sophies personality and their desired changes or if she is just becoming self centered and whiney. In short, I preferred Sophie when she was klutzy and quirky.

This was recommended to me as the British version of the Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum. Sophie and Stephanie are both strong, women who manage to get themselves into lots of crazy situations.
In this book, Sophie is on the run, accused of a crime she didn't commit, and trying to find the real murderer. Most of the book has her traveling all over the place, while not really finding more clues.

I love the Sophie Green books so much, and this is the last in the series. This was also the most intense book of the set. I don't usually cry over a Romcom, but I was so sad and Sophie was in such danger, I felt for her and her survival. I will miss Sophie Green, Tammy and luke. I will remember her books longer than most. Goodbye, Sophie Green and Luke, you will be missed. That's not a spoiler, just a goodbye to the series that ended. xx

I legitimately thought this book would never end. I found myself losing track of every character and not even caring enough to go back for reminders. If I weren’t so enamored with Sophie and her shenanigans, I would have abandoned this one before reaching the middle.

I wish the ending would have been a bit different since this ended up being the last book in the series. The whole thing she decided to keep to herself totally could have been left out too. Sadly not as good as the rest of them. 3.5 stars

I’m a big fan of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, and RUN RABBIT RUN was very much like a British version. Sophie’s car even got blown up!
Sophie is a retired MI5 agent, now working in a book store at the airport. But when an MI5 officer is murdered, with Sophie’s gun and her prints all over the crime scene, she knows she’s been framed and goes on the run to clear her name. Leaving her MI6 boyfriend behind. On the run she also meets bounty hunter Jack, who coincidentally is also the brother of an ex-colleague who has been framed for a similar murder. Reluctantly they team up to try and find the killer.
This is the fifth book in the series and I haven’t read any of the others, so I picked it up and read it as a stand-alone novel. While there were references to previous events, I did for example kind of wish I’d seen Sophie and Luke get together, but other than that I didn’t feel like I wished I’d read the other books first.
Sophie is a whole whirlwind of crazy! She’s fun and gutsy, I liked her, but I also found her quite selfish too. There was moment when she goes to stay with her friend’s nine year old daughter to hideout and was surprised when he got cross with her. This is just a snapshot of how she does not consider the implications of her actions beyond her own needs.
“I just had a call from my daughter. Seems you paid her a little visit. While you’re on the run from the law and, I expect, from someone who’s trying to kill you. [...] I hope they fucking well catch you. I can’t believe you’d endanger Rachel like that.”
Hmm, yes, well said. Don’t get me wrong, I genuinely liked Sophie she was funny, and sweet and kind, but she did also irritate me.
I really loved the relationship between Luke and Sophie even though there were only a few scenes really that they were together for, Luke’s love and affection in particular was lovely. It didn’t hurt matters that Luke was high up on the hotness richter scale
The narrative flips between Sophie and Luke’s stories with Sophie’s story being in first person and Luke’s third. I’ve seen this style used more regularly recently, but I do find the switch in point of views a little jarring until you get into the swing of things. The story regularly changes mid chapter and the only thing you will have to let you know it’s changed is the change in point of view. As a writing style, it’s not one of my favourites.
The plot seemed to move around a lot. Sophie was in Europe, now London, now America, oh yes and London again and America again. It all was quite madcap! Oh and she’s with Jack, she’s not with Jack, she’s with Jack.. you get the idea. I think that some of this could have been condensed a little.
The story is as crazy as Sophie with kidnapping, murder, guns, explosions, robbery and more fake passports than you can shake a stick at. It’s the kind of story where you have to keep all the events straight in your head or you may just get a little bit lost. But it was a hoot, I didn’t have a clue who the killer was right until the end, just as it should be.
I’ve seen other reviewers comment that this this book would make a great movie and I totally agree. It definitely has a cinematic quality to it. More Bridget Jones than Bond though! The ending was as explosive as the book, there was one point when I didn’t really have a clue how it was going to pull together. But it also did leave a slightly sour taste in my mouth due to a rather large white, well more like smoking dark charcoal grey, lie Sophie told at the end.
VERDICT:
I enjoyed RUN RABBIT RUN and it was nice to pick up something slightly different from my usual supernatural, urban fantasy fare. It was fun and funny, a complete whirlwind of a story, even if Sophie did drive me a little bit mad. She’s more of a chick-lit heroine, than kick-ass one, like I’m used to reading. But I definitely enjoyed this and could see myself going back to read the book where Sophie and Luke actually got together.

'I had to fall in love with someone who gets nearly killed three times a year.'
Sophie is an ex-spy who is having a very bad day indeed. She was the last person at the scene of the murder of an MI5 officer and despite her protested innocence, everything points to her being guilty of the crime; he was shot with her gun, and her fingerprints are found in his office. Now she's on the run, and trying to discover who has set her up.
Her boyfriend Luke Sharpe works for MI6, and he swore he'd never get involved with a woman like Sophie, but then: 'Hurricane Sophie had blown into his life, the levees had cracked, and a lifetime of emotion had unleashed itself...now the strength of his feelings terrified him'. He has fallen in love with her, and sets about trying to help her find out what has happened.
Sophie meets Jack in a very entertaining way. He is wanted for a crime in the USA that seems all too similar to what Sophie is alleged to have done. Could the same person or people have set them both up? And can Jack be trusted?
I think Sophie is a very likeable, highly entertaining and fun character, and despite the amount of trouble she seems to attract and the sometimes rather daft actions she takes, you get the feeling she would be a very interesting person to be around, and life would certainly never seem to be boring with her. She watches 'Buffy as a kind of therapy.' Sometimes she acts before she thinks, making her dangerous too. When a friend asks Luke if he intends to marry Sophie, the thoughts that run through his head give us a detailed picture of this larger than life lady who he loves:
'She was a lunatic. She had no prospects, even when she wasn't on the run. His family hated her. She was fast-mouthed and sharp-tongued and soft-hearted, and she'd turn his home into a lost-cat sanctuary given half a chance. She was young, irresponsible, bright, mad, and everything he'd spent his life ordering himself to believe he'd never wanted.'
The story concentrates alternately on Sophie's escapades, and then on what Luke is getting up to. The writer develops both characters, so we have both a heroine and hero whose points of view we get to know in this story. There is always something happening to keep the reader interested. I love how they travelled around and so we get many different locations in the story. There is also some lovely witty humour at times. This is a romantic story with two handsome heroes and a good deal of adventure and mystery woven in. I would have liked it to be perhaps a little bit more intricate on the mystery side and perhaps a little tighter in the middle, but the novel for the most part is fast-paced and Kate Johnson keeps us guessing and interested in what is coming next.
As mentioned in the title, this is number five in the Sophie Green mysteries series. I haven't read the other books in the series, but I enjoyed this one very much without any knowledge of her previous encounters. There are occasional mentions of past episodes in her life and career which adds a bit of background for those of us who are new to her adventures having only started with this book.
A fun read full of antics, dilemmas, disguises, mystery and romance featuring 'the stubborn, contrary, brilliant, corkscrew-brained entity know as Sophie Green.'

I read and thoroughly enjoyed Kate’s fantasy novel The Untied Kingdom last year and was looking forward to reading one of Kate’s Sophie Green mysteries. Run Rabbit Run is the first of these to be published by ChocLit, an independent publisher of fiction with an element of romance. (The previous four books in the Sophie Green series were published as ebooks in the USA.) You don’t need to have read any of the previous Sophie Green books to be able to enjoy this one. It works perfectly well as a stand-alone. (Having said that, I’d now like to read her previous adventures and am hoping that Kate continues the series in future.)
Sophie Green is an ex-spy. Or, at least, she’s trying to be! But when an MI5 officer is shot with her gun and her fingerprints are all over his office, it doesn’t look good for her, so she does what anyone would do under the circumstances… she goes on the run. Not content just to lie low, she tries to prove her innocence and find out who’s trying to frame her for a murder she didn’t commit. Sophie’s boyfriend, the gorgeous Luke, who works for MI6, gets pulled into investigating the case and trying to keep his erratic girlfriend alive. Which, while completely understandable and laudable, might not be his best career move to date and complicates matters further.
I quickly warmed to Sophie Green. She’s by no means a smooth operator, having effectively stumbled into working for the British Secret Service. In fact, she stumbles rather a lot, and it’s mostly into trouble! But while Sophie may be blonde, curvy and comes across as a bit ditzy, she’s certainly no fool and it’s refreshing to see a heroine who’s more than capable of using her brain as well as all her other more than ample resources to stay alive while on the run, as well as working towards solving her own case. She does get help with this but for someone who often looks completely out of depth, Sophie Green surprised me in all the right ways by coming out on top and proving just how capable she really was.
If you imagine a smarter and more competent female version of Johnny English (Jane English?) but keep the dry humour of the original and add in a dose of Spooks/MI5 to the mix, you’ll get a sense of just how much of a taut, fun and fast-paced read Run Rabbit Run is. It’s a really enjoyable pageturner of a thriller and I was in turn amused, anxious about Sophie’s wellbeing, and intrigued by the who-framed-her element of the story. It was a hugely entertaining read and I loved it – and Sophie. More please, Kate Johnson!

Well done, Kate Johnson!
Sophie Green, chaos on two legs, is back, and boy is she in trouble. All the favorite characters from past books make at least a cameo appearance (Xander, Rachel, Harvey, etc), for Sophie's on the lam for a crime she didn't commit, constantly looking for a place to crash or a bit of cash.
The story is pretty fast paced - although, from the mystery's perspective, it spins its wheels for a good while through the middle before we get to the nail-biting ending that's worth the wait. Mystery readers will likely get frustrated by the lack of real clues, therefore little chance for sleuthing, but the series at this point (in book 5) is about Sophie and Luke's relationship, not spying or murder or anything else (the last true mystery Johnson wrote was #2 in the series).
I loved the fact that we got inside Luke's head for a change, but a little disappointed by what we found there. He's a conceited jerk as far as women, and sometimes even Sophie, are concerned - but we knew that already. He's fallen madly for Sophie, and many of those self-revelatory interludes were quite touching, but they became rather repetitive (in fact, that was the major fault of the wheel-spinning middle bit - we spent a LOT of time rehashing stuff we already knew). But the biggest disappointment was how ineffective this highly-trained, super-competent, so-called spy wound up being. I realize that the heroine really needs to save herself in the end, but the fact that Luke did absolutely nothing but mope about her absence, ruminate about whether or not to propose to her when/if she survived, and mostly sit quietly under surveillance really hacked me off. Grr. Not exactly the alpha male I'd expected, especially when I started envisioning lovely Luke and delectable Docherty teaming up and... well, erm, cough.
But Johnson's writing style was as sharp and enjoyable as ever. I'm still laughing out loud at jokes and bon mots. Rachel was as entertaining as ever, and new man on the scene, Jack de Valera, handsome and intriguing. And in the end, Johnson delivers the long-awaited happy ending, doing a nice job getting our crazy, star-crossed, stubborn, misguided pair of "spies" together in the end.
Sophie Green, chaos on two legs, is back, and boy is she in trouble. All the favorite characters from past books make at least a cameo appearance (Xander, Rachel, Harvey, etc), for Sophie's on the lam for a crime she didn't commit, constantly looking for a place to crash or a bit of cash.
The story is pretty fast paced - although, from the mystery's perspective, it spins its wheels for a good while through the middle before we get to the nail-biting ending that's worth the wait. Mystery readers will likely get frustrated by the lack of real clues, therefore little chance for sleuthing, but the series at this point (in book 5) is about Sophie and Luke's relationship, not spying or murder or anything else (the last true mystery Johnson wrote was #2 in the series).

I had no idea until after I read this novel that it is actually number 5 in the Sophie Green series, now I understand the dedication at the the front of the book.'To everyone who's emailed, Tweeted and Facebooked to ask what happened to Sophie next'. It is just that this is only the second book that has been published by Choc Lit from this author. Run Rabbit Run is perfect for a stand alone read, as you do not need to know anything about Sophie or her past at all. A fast paced fun read thanks to the runaway imagination that Kate Johnson has. The situations that her heroine Sophie encounters in this story are really way beyond belief and the sheer number of them left me breathless. Despite the feeling of exaggeration making it feel like a female James Bond adventure without the gadgets, I surprised myself by enjoying this novel.
The novel opens with Sophie on the run after being framed for a murder that she most definitely did not commit, but she now has every law enforcement agency you can think of trying to track her down. Determined to prove her innocence this impetuous young woman who seems to attract trouble has a whole series of escapades whilst trying to do so.
As Sophie is an ex-spy it is no real surprise that her gorgeous boyfriend Luke Sharpe is an MI6 officer, or was until his girlfriend became a murder suspect! He of course is in an excellent position to keep abreast of the case against her and at the same time try and help her clear her name. The story alternates between telling us what is happening from both their points of view, with the plot keeping you guessing all the way to the end. It was sometimes quite worrying to know what Luke knew, knowing that Sophie had no idea of the danger she was in.
Besides Luke's help in absentia Sophie also has the help of Jack, another person framed for a murder he did not commit, whom she met when she first went on the run in the most unforeseeable way! I was never quite sure whether he could be trusted or not.
In the end over the top exaggeration excluded this is a romantic story with adventure and mystery that make Run Rabbit Run worth reading.

Fifth in the Sophie Green Mysteries, Run Rabbit Run is also a stand-alone read. You don’t have to know anything about Sophie or her past at all. I haven’t read any of the others in the mysteries and I can assure you it made no difference to my enjoyment.
The prologue shows the reader the drastic measures Sophie is taking to leave the UK.
In each Chapter we spend time with Sophie while she is trying to evade capture (narrated in the first person) while also spending time with boyfriend Luke and what is happening to him (narrated in the third person). Sophie doesn’t always journey alone – we’re introduced to Jack early in the story. He thinks Sophie is responsible for the killing he has been framed for in Ohio so the issue of trust is another layer to the story.
Sophie is such a brilliant character. The reader really gets to know her. She’s like a disaster magnet! Apart from her humour (which adds that something extra amongst the suspense and tension) she is so honest with herself (which I loved!) about the actions she takes. We find out from Luke that she doesn’t always believe in herself. It’s definitely Sophie’s personality that is the glue that holds the different layers of the story together.
The two males leads really are delicious. Both with the hard exterior cultivated for their personas in the careers they’ve chosen but vulnerability underneath that. Trust is an issue in Luke’s relationship with Sophie on a personal level as well as the trust mentioned earlier.
The other male, Docherty … Sophie has history with him and I never knew whether she should trust him or not despite the help he gave. This is another layer on Sophie’s journey in finding out who has framed her.
The pace is fast and the story full of predicaments, which will keep you totally focussed as you don’t want to miss a thing!
There is a painful death, which made me quite upset. It can’t be Sophie, she will live won’t she?
I would like to thank the publishers, Choc Lit, for providing me a paperback copy in exchange for an honest review.

Run Rabbit Run is the latest instalment in the Sophie Green Mysteries written by Kate Johnson. This book is published by the lovely publishers that are Choc Lit UK; an independent brand-led publisher, specialising in fiction with romantic content, where the writing clearly develops the hero’s point of view. Oh, and have I mentioned before that Choc Lit heroes are always really realllly yummy!
In Run Rabbit Run, we get two delicious heroes (Luke and Jack) and one slightly crazy (quite possibly the understatement of the century) heroine. I hadn’t read any of Kate Johnson’s previous Sophie Green books and was reassured by Choc Lit that this wouldn’t be a problem, and it certainly wasn’t. I have to admit, I found her really quite annoying to begin with – she’s an absolute nightmare, a train crash waiting to happen! But she grew on me, and I adored Luke (and Jack gets pretty scrummy too)! The storyline soon gripped me and took over any of those early irritations.
The book follows Sophie on the run from a crime she didn’t commit. Challenging at the best of times, but when you’re on the run from MI5 and MI6 and then the CIA get involved, it becomes an absolute rollercoaster of a ride. And that is what you get with this book, from start to finish. It’s packed full of action as well as romance – and sometimes you’ll find yourself holding your breath (for both the action and romantic parts!!).
A fabulous rollercoaster of a read for those who love chick lit with a razor sharp edge.

I have always been a big fan of the TV series ‘Spooks’, always enjoyed a thriller and a mystery storyline so when ChocLit asked if I would be interested in reviewing Run Rabbit Run, I jumped at the chance. I hadn’t read any of the previous Sophie Green mysteries but that wasn’t a problem as this book can be read as a stand alone.
If I’m totally honest, much as I wanted to like Sophie, initially I found her incredibly frustrating. She wasn’t the sophisticated, smooth and competent agent I was expecting. However, I did warm to her as the story progressed and was able to get to know her better. I felt by the end of the novel, I had a much better understanding of her and I liked her a whole lot more than in the beginning. She had a great deal more compassion, understanding and feelings than I gave her credit for. She was a fighter, that was for sure.
Her MI6 agent boyfriend, Luke Sharpe, was lovely and madly in love with Sophie, even if he never planned to be. He was cool but hot, calm but firey, tough but loving – what more could a girl ask for?
Sophie’s accomplice, the gorgeous Jack, was a bit of a mystery, I was never quite sure if he could be trusted either in the field or playing it.
The plot kept me guessing all the way through and sometimes knowing what Luke knew but aware that Sophie didn’t, made me quite fearful for her safety.
I enjoyed reading Run Rabbit Run – the build up and climax of the plot kept me on my toes all the way through, as did the ultimate outcome of Sophie and Luke’s relationship.

I first read Kate Johnson when I got lost in her novel The UnTied Kingdom, a unique novel with a blend of fantasy and chick lit. I was looking forward to another book from her, and that Run Rabbit Run was a mystery. I love a good mystery, and this one did not disappoint! This is actually a series following Sophie Green, but I didn’t have any issue catching right up with the characters. Sophie is an ex-spy, but she is forced back into that world when she is framed for murdering a M15 officer. Her gun with her fingerprints are found at the scene, but Sophie didn’t do it. Her only option? Run. Luke Sharpe is a M16 officer, or was until his girlfriend Sophie was accused of murder. Now he has to worry about her safety as she becomes a fugitive, try to find the real killer, and be able to hold on to his job. Will the power couple be able to clear Sophie’s name in time – and maintain their relationship?
This book was fast-paced and had me on my toes the whole time! The mystery is great, as is the relationship between Sophie and Luke. Luke is a former playboy, who is learning to love one lady and all that comes with being monogamous. It was great to also get the story from his POV. Sophie just gets in one jam after another, and while worrying for her life she also worries about her relationship. Add in a sexy partner-of-sorts in Jack, and Sophie has quite the full plate to worry about. I am definitely going to be checking out the previous books and would recommend the series!

Run Rabbit Run by Kate Johnson: Choc-Lit
Sophie Green is an ex-spy. An MI5 officer has been shot dead with her gun, her fingerprints are all over his office, but she swears she is innocent. Her boyfriend Luke Sharpe is tall, tanned, sexy and does not do commitment, he is a MI6 spook, or was until his girlfriend Sophie kills, again.
Jack de Valera, English by birth, but lives as a bounty hunter in the US, until he is framed for the murder of a Supreme High court judge, Irene Shepherd, he is on the run, all the way into Sophie’s arms quite literally whilst she is camping in France, he steels her gun, ties her up, They connect dots and then they go on the run together.
This novel is a great read; it’s a cross between Chic Lit, Spooks and carry on spying. Its not to be taken too seriously but Johnson has done her research and treats her readers with respect. She pulls the strands in, with some great curve balls throw in to send you down the garden path.
There are however gaps, some could probably be plugged by reading her Sophie Green back catalogue, others like how does Sophie fly from JFK to London and then back again but keeping her gun? These need to be resolved or ignored in the readers mind.
Run Rabbit Run is Chic Lit with muscles, and therefore I would highly recommend it for a nice easy read, either whilst commuting, holidaying or just whilst soaking in the bath to relax. You will not be disappointed.

There are books before this one, but this book it the first book relased by Choc lit, and I decided to give it a go (ok I might have missed the part of a series thing ;) But it still worked great as a stand alone, you did not need to know Sophie from before and this was certainly a new adventure for her.
The book starts with a bang, Sophie in the run. And the book never slows down, Sophie keeps on running from the MI5 while trying to figure out who is after her. I kept on wondering if she would manage this cos in the end I could not know (there could always be another book). Suspense and action is certainly found, together with a chilling intrigue. Who can be trusted? Who framed Sophie? Who is the man she meets on the run? Because of the non-stop thrill-ride you never get bored.
Sophie as a heroine is different. She thinks too fast, she is not patient, she loves pink and Buffy. She is human, not some suave spook (thinking of James Bond here). For that I like her. Luke her boyfriend is nice too, but he is the true James Bond type. Privilegied, smooth, but totally smitten by his some what trashy girlfriend. Sadly as she is on the run they do not have much time together. But we do get to see his POV a few times as he misses her and tries to clear her name.
It's a book that takes hold of you and never lets go, and you know what, it would make one cool movie.

(I'd like to give this 4 1/2 stars but the system won't let me).
I absolutely love Kate Johnson's writing - it's amusing, the stories are fast-paced, the characters eminently likeable and quirky. Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down - I was with the heroine every step of the way, wondering how she'd get herself out of the major trouble she was in. I loved her feistiness and the way nothing got her down, or if it did, she kept bouncing back. The hero (or heroes in this case) were great too and had me rooting for them all the way through.
All in all, a brilliant read - my only reason for marking it down half a star was that I fell in love with the "wrong" hero, but that's probably just me ...

I feel this book was the best in the series. I loved that she added the view Luke and the reader was able to feel what Luke felt fondly realizing what he wanted most of all.
However Sophie I feel was weak in this book and it bothered me a lot. She caved in at one point in the book and I was so angry I wanted throw my kindle across the room. The fall wasn't needed and it totally bugged me even after I finished the book.
After all of what Luke and Sophia went though in the other books I can't imagine she would fall like she did. That's my only complaint!

I have read all the books in the series and after book 2 it stopped becoming a mystery we could tell where it was leading Sophie green would hurt her self run off and do something wasn't suppose to and in the end try to turn away from Luke. By the time I got to #5 all I wanted to know was what happens with Sophie and luke every thing else was the se just insert new character names new city's and new wounds and you have all 5 books.

Loved this book! Johnson captured my attention from the very first page and I couldn't put it down. As much as I wanted to read it slowly I had it read in just over 24 hours. If you are looking for a fast-paced novel; one that stays true to the humor, Buffy references, and powerful connection between Sofie and Luke that Johnson gave in the previous 4 novels in this series, then get Run, Rabbit, Run. Just be prepared to lose interest in everything else for a while!
April 27, 2012
This was cute... as were there others. It was nice to see Sophie working somewhat on her own but it was lacking some action and substance throughout most of it. Also some of her quirk was missing. That being said, I'm happy it was written and I'm happy to have read it. :) It was like I sat with Sophie over coffee and she filled me in with what went on in her life since the previous book.
August 23, 2012
Very different from Kate's first novel The UnTied Kingdom which I adored. This is very much a fun roller coaster spy mystery novel. I hadn't realised it was part of her Sophie Green Mysteries but it reads as a stand alone too. I enjoyed Sophie and Luke's relationship but my favourite hero was Jack! A fun beach read. HIghly recommended.
May 10, 2012
I really enjoyed the latest installment in the Sophie Green series. I found Still Waters to be a bit lacking, and Run Rabbit Run definitely made up for it. There was action, adventure, romance, and ridiculousness. And of course the Buffy references were plentiful!
September 3, 2012
As far as fluffy, tune-out reading goes, this series was OK. It was a little too Mary Sue (perfect heroine with a flawless body, and shiny blonde hair, so smart, and charming, but clutzy, and is shocked and amazed that all the boys fall for her, etc.). But it featured a cute cat.
July 30, 2016
I love the Sophie Green books. this one was packed with all the things we have come to expect. Love all the pop culture references. So glad Sophie & Luke had a happy ending. Not sure if this is the last book in the series? If it is, it was a great finish. I would take more though.
October 20, 2012
A fun, great addition to the series.
June 20, 2012
Love this author and love this series. Luke is absolutely scrumptious and in this book you get his perspective. Can't wait for the next in the series.
March 10, 2012
I really liked this installment in the Sophie Green series. I especially liked that we get to hear Luke's point of view as well as Sophie's in this one.
