Being a rebel in his own right, Nicholas doesn't turn her in, but decides to help in any way possible.Heidi struggles through the obstacle courses in Savage Run. Physically and emotionally drained, it is only during downtime between events that she's able to make sense of her world and get a little closer to the secretive Nicholas.But with the threat of death constantly barreling down on her, and with menacing contestants looming around every obstacle, she realizes the chances of her getting killed are far greater than her chances of surviving and attaining her freedom.Savage Run 1: Phase 1Savage Run 2: Phase 2Savage Run 3: Phase 3 and the conclusion of Savage RunWhat readers are saying:Nail-biting, action packedIf anyone is hesitant to read this book....Don't be.....It's an awesome read!

The quality of the story is excellent on many levels - adventure, gender identity issues, apocalyptic threats, and most of all, as simply brilliant writing. EJ Squires is a growing master of this genre and certainly an author who deserves a very large audience.This futuristic novel by EJ Squires had me thinking about three well-loved fierce heroines of our time - Hua Mulan (Ballad of Mulan) & Katniss Everdeen (Hunger Games) and Lisbeth Salander (Girl With Dragon Tattoo). I admit, at first I thought this was another Hunger Games in the making, but I was mistaken when I found myself immersed from the first chapter to the last.Savage Run is a book for all readers. Those looking for romance and friendship, a tell tale heart of loss and love and regret. It also keeps those in need of elements of danger, adventure, and heroic duties flipping pages to find out what happens to their beloved main character and the villains she finds herself pitted against.
