After The Nothing Man and 56 Days, Catherine Ryan Howard is a must read author for me and I flew through Run Time in a day. Thank you to Blackstone Publishing for the free review copy.

Adele is an actress who has been struggling to get work after something that happened on the set of her last film. When she gets a call about a horror movie being filmed in the woods - low budget, fast time frame, remote location with no cell service - she thinks it’s the perfect opportunity to make a comeback and finally have her big break! Only when she rushes to set and filming begins…she learns things might not actually be what they seem.

This was a fun read and I would also recommend the audiobook - very well done!

3.5 ⭐️— I thought this was super fun. I love feminist twists on the final girl trope, and I love cabin in the woods stories, and I love horror movies. Especially meta commentary about horror movies. I don’t mind reading script format either, which seems to have upset some reviewers. A fun and solid read, and I love the setting of West Cork!
