I loved reading the book Hit and Run by Diane Hester. It is a suspenseful thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It is a story that includes mystery and danger. I loved reading about the characters of Raina Wilkins and Alec DeMarco. Raina is a character that I could empathize with. From the time that she hits Alec with her car, her life is turned upside down. From then on, she finds herself in dangerous situations and at times unsure of who to trust. Alec is a character that does have his rough edges however he, just like Raina, is trying to survive. They together with a homeless teen find themselves in danger and on the run. What does their future hold? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had me trying to put together the clues as to what is happening. The book is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with the characters. I found myself turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. This is a story that has some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. This is a book that hooked me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page.

Hit and Run by Diane Hester was a great 5 star read.
Once I started I was pulled right in.
Raina had a creepy experience while driving home from the movies, she had been thinking about how her life has been the past 10 years when she accidentally hit a man with her car.
The man pulled a gun on her and had her drive him away from the scene. When the man passes out she ends up abandoning her car with him in it. When she finds out the next day the man is dead her life starts to spiral out of control.
We meet a couple of other characters Alec and Erin who added so much more to this story. These three find out they are intertwined in the same scary situation. There is so much more to this read but I don’t want to give anything away. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next. We get murder, abduction, twits and turns and so much more. All of the characters were great. This is my first read from this Author and I loved it. If you like a suspenseful book that pulls you right in then this is the book for you. 1-click and get started today.
Raina Wilkins is forced to go on the run with a wanted killer and a homeless teen with a very deadly secret……… and until that point, she had thought she had very little to live for.
Driving from the woods in Maine, Raina hits a man, thinking it is an animal, who darts straight in front of her.
From that moment on that stranger climbs in her car, which forces her to drive on at gunpoint. Terrified with the gun pointed at her face, she did as she was asked.
Shortly after, however, this stranger gets out and disappears back into the forest.. Thinking she will never see him again after that, Alec DeMarco has left something behind when he left.
This something, others would absolutely kill to possess it.
When Alec returns to claim this, Raina is then swept into a world of conspiracy, murder and abduction. A world where even the police want her dead. Not knowing who she could trust, her life was in constant danger.
This book was a real page turner and you could feel the tension on each page. A fantastic thriller, with twists and turns keeping you guessing throughout. Raina has a troubled past which comes back to haunt her, and as a reader, you feel really involved in her character.
A definite must read.

I could not put this book down once I started reading it. This story is full of twists and turns and is full of action. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next and trying to figure out who the good guys were and who’s not. Raina has worked really hard to change who she was when she was younger and keep to herself,even though the past still haunts her. On the way home from a movie one night she hits a man with her car and her world gets turned upside down, and now she doesn’t know who she can trust. I became completely invested in these characters. This is definitely a must read. The author wrote a very suspenseful gripping story and I cannot wait to read more books from this author. I highly recommend this book!
This is the second book by Diane Hester that I’ve read and I’m hooked. This was another book I couldn’t put down. I loved that fact that there were two strong female roles in this story. And yeah, big plot twist at the end, no spoilers sorry!
I give Hit and Run by Diane Hester, 5 stars.
I was blown away by just how good this book was. This author is new to me and I didn’t really know what to expect. It is gripping from the very beginning and does not let go until the end. It honors the masters of suspense with a story that twists and turns, not letting you off the ride or letting you know just where you’ll go next. To make it more compelling, the story is so complex. You think it’s about one thing, oh but wait, this is going on too. Oh and is that person good or bad?
The story is amazing, thrilling and gripping written by an artist with imagination and the characters are believable and you really feel for them. I would love to see more of them in the future, especially Erin. If you are a fan of gripping thrillers, this book is definitely for you.

Hit and Run was the first book I have read by Diane Hester and she really exceeded my expectations. The only way to find new writers to love is to take a chance but that doesn’t prevent me from being skeptical each time I stray from my typical to be read pile. The storyline captured me from the very first page and kept my attention through each twist and turn. Not only was Hit and Run captivating, it had a cast of characters you really find yourself growing “close” to and really loving. Hit and Run had every element that I look for in a book and remained as intriguing as it’s synopsis eluded. If Diane Hester has more writing like Hit and Run, I truly look forward to reading more of her work. I would definitely recommend this book to family and friends and award it 4 stars.
Hit and Run by Diane Hester. Wow what a read!! I absolutely loved reading this book, it was jam packed with twist and turns. I love it when you read a book and can’t guess what going to happen next, this book does exactly that. Driving home alone one night Raina hits a man, imagine her surprise when he then points a gun at her and tells her to drive… The main characters in this books are just great Diane really makes you feel like you are right there with them on a crazy journey.

LOVE THIS ONE! This is one wild ride from start to finish! This is my second book by this author. I am impressed. She easily pulls me in with her writing skills and doesn’t let go until that last page. I LOVE reading that type of story! It has a fast pace and action/intrigue at almost every turn of the page. The characters are ones you come to care about and then root for them. I want to write more but don’t want to give any surprises away. So I highly recommend this and I will be keeping my eye peeled for more from this author!
I’ve read one of Diane Hester’s other novels and loved the style, so I wanted to check this one out. I wasn’t disappointed. I think I found my new favorite suspense author. The imagery in this book is amazing, and the characters felt real. The opening reminded me a bit of I Know What You Did Last Summer, but story kept surprising me and diverging from the way I thought it was going. Definitely going to read more from her.
This was a gripping story from the beginning. It kept me hooked.
Raina is a young woman who has a troubling past. A accident caused by her when she was 18 has left her filled with guilt.
One night as she drives home she hits a person who runs into the road. The person the gets into her car and orders her to drive at gun point. Scared for her life she does and when she gets the chance she escapes.
The person she run down is Alec and he is wanted for a murder he didn’t commit. People are after him as he has something they want which he leaves in Raina’s car when he runs. So he sets out to find her and the car and get back what is his.
When they meet again, Raina gets swept up into a world of murder and conspiracy where even the police become the enemy. This book is a real page turner that you can’t put down and the twists and truns will keep you guessing right to the end.

Hit and Run by Diane Hester is definitely my favourite story of hers, so far. It is another complex and well-woven thrilling suspense. This gripping story twists and turns so much- it really kept me guessing, running various scenarios through my mind, and wondering how it would all play out in the end. Every time I thought I had it nailed down, Ms. Hester threw in a twist or two and sent me off kilter again.
Raina Wilkins life has never been the same since tragedy struck ten years earlier. But, now her life is about to take a deadly turn. While driving home one night, Raina hits a man who ran out of the woods directly in front of her car. And if that’s not bad enough- she is then held at gun point and told to drive. What happens from this point on makes for a thrilling tale of abduction, conspiracy, murder, and mystery.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Hester…

Raina thinks that is the end of her nightmare but then she discovers that her injured passenger, Alec DeMarco left something behind in her car and wants it back, and he’s not the only one. Raina is then forced on the run with a wanted killer and a homeless teen with a deadly secret and enters a world of abduction, conspiracy, police that want her dead and murder.
