About this ebook
A USA Today bestseller!
“Anyone who has reached a hand toward the night sky will understand the beautifully incurable ache for belonging at the heart of Nowhere Burning, the latest unsettling fairytale from Catriona Ward.”—Christopher Buehlman, New York Times bestselling author of Between Two Fires
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...
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.
Also by Catriona Ward:
Looking Glass Sound
Sundial
Little Eve
The Last on Needless Street

Thank you to MacMillan Audio and NetGalley for providing me with an audiobook version of this ARC. The following thoughts are entirely my own. This one took a while to build, but it was worth the wait as all the stories came together and the role of all the characters came to light. The narrators were both great and really cold the story. I don't think this my favorite by the author (I still think The Last House on Needless Street) but this one was still so good.
