The Dead Don’t Run
Dead Generations Book 5
by Anne Russo
Sequel to The Dead Don’t Fall.
As malevolent forces close in, Ian and Adam’s desperate hope for a future together is threatened by their most ruthless adversary yet.
In El Paso, Ian faces a series of shocking betrayals that derail his quest to reunite with Adam, forcing him and his newly reunited group to journey to New Orleans to confront the culprit. Meanwhile, longing for Ian’s return, Adam forges a new life in Colombia, cultivating new friendships while battling the lingering scars of his past.
Their hard-won reunion propels them and their friends from the lively streets of Bogota into the wild, shadow-drenched jungles of Bolivia. Here they must rely on each other as they never have before, building a home and steeling themselves for a confrontation with an adversary determined to stalk them to the ends of the earth.
Clinging to each other in a treacherous and uncertain world, Ian and Adam must make their last stand. As together they face an unstoppable foe and a past that refuses to die in an epic showdown that will determine their fate and the fate of everyone they hold dear.
Note: This book ends on a cliffhanger and contains strong violence and dark, mature themes, including characters dealing with past trauma.

I couldn’t wait to dive into this, and I was so excited to see Ian open up a bit more in this installment. That said, the cliffhanger, was once again, my least favorite part of the story! Ian and Adam have grown so much both as individuals and as a couple over the course of the series, and this installment really showcases that as things seem to both slow down, yet intensify at the same time. As much as I would love to see them finally get their happy ending, a guilty part of me will also be sad to see them go, I’ve gotten so wrapped up in the high-stakes world they exist in. Russo has once again shown off her prowess with keeping up the high-stakes emotional tension, even when the action isn’t high. Although you do need to start at the beginning of the series, I promise it’s worth it if you enjoy complex, thrilling, steamy romances that will get your heart racing and have you invested in both MCs and supporting characters alike!
Til next time,
Lily
