ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 2, 2026

She thought it was just a costume. He knew it was a promise.

Someone Wren Holloway loves owes a very dangerous man a debt he can’t pay. When that man comes to collect, he doesn’t want money.

He wants her. Ezra Vane isn’t the kind of predator who takes what isn’t earned. He offers her a game instead—a chance no one else has ever been given.

Run.

Halloween night. His estate. Hundreds of acres of darkness, and one rule: survive until dawn without being caught, and the debt disappears. Her brother walks free. She never sees Ezra again.

But if he catches her—and he will—she belongs to him. Not for a night. Forever.

She trains. Plans. Studies the terrain. He watches. Waits. Lets her believe she has a chance.

The hunt begins at sundown. By midnight, she realizes the forest isn’t her enemy.

He is.

REVIEW:RUN RABBIT RUN by Elizabeth Knox is the fourth instalment and stand alone story line in the multi-authored, contemporary adult DARK HOLIDAY erotic, holiday thriller series. This is twenty-five year old, influencer / woodswoman Wren Holloway, and thirty-six year old, Ezra Vane’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ezra and Wren) RUN RABBIT RUN follows Wren Holloway, an online influencer and woodswoman as she is forced to pay off her brother’s debt. A Halloween hunt wherein if Wren wins, her brother is free: if our heroine loses, she is trapped until the end of her life but all is not as it appears to be. Wren has a stalker, who is determined to claim Wren as his own, a man who has been watching for a very long time. Wren has ten days to train and map out the hunting grounds but training will not help what is waiting for our story line heroine.

The world building is dark and gritty as Ezra Vane makes it virtually impossible for Wren Holloway to win. Ezra Vane is a predator, a man on the hunt for a woman he wants to call his own but Wren is determined to win at all costs or die trying. An environment of dark and dangerous woods, set against a backdrop of impossibilities, our heroine will fall victim to a hunter who refuses to let go.

The unconventional relationship between Ezra and Wren is hunter and prey. Captured and caged, Wren begins to lose herself to a man who wants to own and possess, determined to destroy her free will, and claim her body in the process. By the end, Wren is no longer the woman she professed herself to be but a woman owned and caged by a hunter who is unwilling to let her go. Giving up, Wren must accept what fate has wrought. The $ex scenes are aggressive and not without some scenes of questionable consent.

The secondary and supporting characters are desperate and broken. We are introduced Wren’s brother Luke Holloway, best friend Rue Bell, coffee shop owner Marlene, Old man Tomlin, and housekeeper Delia.

RUN RABBIT RUN is a story of introspection and contemplation, obsession and possession, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, acceptance and withdrawal. The character driven premise is haunting, dramatic, gritty and edgy; the characters are dark and tragic; the relationship is unique and atypical-there is no love-Ezra wants to possess, while Wren has accepted her new role in life.
