A fast-paced suspense thriller by James Patterson and Shan Serafin, published in 2016 as part of Patterson's popular BookShots series. At just 160 pages, it's designed to deliver a complete, action-packed thriller in a single sitting.

The story follows Miranda Cooper, an athletic soccer mom whose ordinary family road trip through the remote deserts of Arizona turns into a nightmare. Without warning, a mysterious SUV deliberately forces her family's car off the road. Her husband, Aaron, is critically injured, and before Miranda leaves to find help, he gives her a chilling warning:

"Be careful who you trust."

With her young daughter stranded beside her wounded husband, Miranda ventures alone into the unforgiving desert. Instead of finding help, she discovers that the people pursuing her are far more dangerous than she imagined, and the attack is connected to a secret Aaron has been hiding. As bullets fly and allies become suspects, Miranda must uncover the truth before her entire family is eliminated.

Like many BookShots, Come and Get Us focuses on relentless pacing rather than deep character development. It features nonstop chases, survival against impossible odds, unexpected betrayals, and plenty of twists, making it an entertaining read for thriller fans looking for a quick dose of suspense.
