Nowhere Burning

By: Catriona Ward

Narrated by: Christopher Ragland, Katherine Fenton

Nowhere Burning is a harrowing tale of survival that places the dark fairy tale of Peter Pan and the ruthless dangers of Lord of the Flies into the unforgiving maw of the Colorado Rockies.

"[Narrators Katherine] Fenton and [Christopher] Ragland both create a seamless listening experience with clearly differentiated characters. They connect emotionally to their characters, conveying their fears as they untangle their realities." —BookTrib on Looking Glass Sound

"Gripping and beautiful, haunting and virtuously crafted…you won’t be able to stop reading."—Virginia Feito, author of Victorian Psycho

Secrets in the flames. Answers in the ashes.

Riley and her brother Oliver set off in the pitch-black night, fleeing their troubled home. They are heading for Nowhere—an abandoned ranch, once the playground of its former eccentric movie-star owner, now a haven for runaways.

What awaits could be the freedom they crave.

But this mysterious clan guards dark secrets, and the scorched grounds hold the ghosts of the past. Riley quickly realizes that while she and Oliver may have escaped the devil they knew, something darker lurks in the burnt shell of Nowhere.

Something which asks a terrible price for sanctuary…

Now here

at the end of this book I am deeply moved. I am reeling in the best way. The things I love about Catriona Wards writing didn't just appear here but lept out full force. My words can't compare to how the ones in this book made me feel.

Had to throw in the towel

Switched to the e-book 40% in because the audio was very aggravating. One narrator for the guy POVs speaks in the same dramatic cadence for every single sentence & it became distracting, along with the kid voices… I could not

Loved

This story was gripping and a definate page turner. Characters and Timelines were spread out wonderfully. Narration was great! Thanks !

Good but some annoying details

Good book, story telling is unique and playful, with an ambitious scope pulled off well. There were some overly whiney voices for the children, and it took away from the narrative. Additionally a look at a map when writing would have made this make so much more sense. I started imagining Nederland when they said Ault, and it helped. But it made it almost painful as someone from those places. like there’s five 14er’s or 150 miles between some of these places, and they only mentioned the eastern slopes, but most of the Apple orchards in Colorado are on the western slopes. I know it’s little, and I’m unreasonably annoyed. It’s otherwise a good book

Good story, some annoying voices.

Oliver’s voice was awful. I wanted his whiny body to die. Leif’s voice was exaggerated and annoying.
