Summary

Two years ago， on a trip to Seattle to visit her brother Aidan， fifteen-year-old Scarlett vanished into thin air。 After years of false leads and dead ends， Aidan has almost given up hope。 But then a woman sees a girl running for her life across a forest clearing in Northern California。 She is convinced the girl is the missing Scarlett。 But could it really be her？

Heading south， Aidan finds a fire-ravaged town covered in missing-teenager posters。 The locals seem afraid， the sheriff won’t answer any questions and it looks like another dead end – until a chance meeting with returned local Lana gives Aidan his first clue。 But as they piece together what happened， Lana and Aidan make deadly enemies。 Enemies willing to do anything to silence them - and to protect the terrible truth about what is really going on in the forest。。。

Loved most of Mark Edwards books but this wasn’t for me。 Reasonable start but it lost my interest after that。

excellent bookAgain Mark Edward did not disappoint me。 No Place To Run will entertain you from beginning to end。 Another enjoyable book！

Julie Lacey ，

This is a good read but not quite as gripping as previous books by this author。 We follow Aidan in his search for his teenage sister and it’s soon clear the group she’s with don’t want to be found。 Lana is looking for her brother too so the two of them form a plan to find their siblings。

No Place to Run is a novel that stands alone， written by Mark Edwards。 A young girl， fifteen-year-old Scarlett， the sister of Aidan Faith， went missing two years ago in Seattle and is seen being chased by a man in a woodland clearing by a passenger on a train。 Is it Scarlett？A great atmospheric setting and a few twists contributed to my enjoyment of this novel。 It will keep you pondering what might happen next。 An action-packed， compelling domestic thriller， it's well worth picking up。I received No Place to Run is a novel that stands alone， written by Mark Edwards。 A young girl， fifteen-year-old Scarlett， the sister of Aidan Faith， went missing two years ago in Seattle and is seen being chased by a man in a woodland clearing by a passenger on a train。 Is it Scarlett？A great atmospheric setting and a few twists contributed to my enjoyment of this novel。 It will keep you pondering what might happen next。 An action-packed， compelling domestic thriller， it's well worth picking up。I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Amazon Publishing UK via NetGalley。 This review is my own unbiased opinion。 。。。more

Thanks so much to netgalley & Mark Edwards for an early copy of this book。As everyone probably already knows Mark Edwards is my favourite author ever so I’ve been so excited to read this one & it did not disappoint。As always I was hooked immediately from the first chapter， his writing just always has a way of grabbing my attention。I went in expecting a dark thriller quite like his other books but was surprised to find this one took a slightly different turn and it took on more of a crime thrille Thanks so much to netgalley & Mark Edwards for an early copy of this book。As everyone probably already knows Mark Edwards is my favourite author ever so I’ve been so excited to read this one & it did not disappoint。As always I was hooked immediately from the first chapter， his writing just always has a way of grabbing my attention。I went in expecting a dark thriller quite like his other books but was surprised to find this one took a slightly different turn and it took on more of a crime thriller approach which I think he did so brilliantly。As always Mark has the talent of writing some insufferable characters who really know how to get under your skin， I really enjoyed how different this book was， I’ve not read anything quite like this before in terms of the topics it explores and covers。Overall I really enjoyed this one， I think I’ve enjoyed some of his others more but I still highly recommend this one too， it’s not quite as dark psychologically but it’s a very dark crime with lots of twists and turns and if that’s your usual cup of tea then you’re in for a treat！ 。。。more

Gripping。From start to finish this book grand you and hold on。 Children， teens go missing every day。 But what happens to those left to wonder？ One brother spends two years searching for his missing sister until by chance a local woman glimpses her from a train。。。

I have always enjoyed Mark Edwards' books and couldn’t resist getting this one despite my current issues with my extra slow reading。  This was different from the usual reads by the author though。 I have come to expect creepy， captivating， atmospheric stories from him but this leaned more towards action。The story begins with a lot of suspense that immediately drew me in。 An old woman is on a train going through a forest when she sees a young woman being chased。 What is even more shocking is that I have always enjoyed Mark Edwards' books and couldn’t resist getting this one despite my current issues with my extra slow reading。  This was different from the usual reads by the author though。 I have come to expect creepy， captivating， atmospheric stories from him but this leaned more towards action。The story begins with a lot of suspense that immediately drew me in。 An old woman is on a train going through a forest when she sees a young woman being chased。 What is even more shocking is that she recognizes the woman who is a familiar face from a missing persons poster。After the suspense of the first chapters， the story however takes a turn that I wasn’t expecting and wasn’t really a fan of as I don’t really like action-packed reads and this one had quite a number of guns going off。 If you don’t mind a bit of action， then you’ll certainly enjoy this book。 It had quite a number of twists and as always， Mark’s writing is fantastic。 。。。more

No Place To Run by Mark EdwardsTwo years ago， 15 year old Scarlett goes missing leaving her older brother Aidan desperately trying to follow up leads on what might have happened to her。 When a witness comes forward to say she thinks she saw Scarlett running for her life through the woods in North California， Aidan immediately heads there to check it out。 No one in the town is willing to help him until he meets Lana who is looking for answers of her own。 No Place To Run isn't what I expected at a No Place To Run by Mark EdwardsTwo years ago， 15 year old Scarlett goes missing leaving her older brother Aidan desperately trying to follow up leads on what might have happened to her。 When a witness comes forward to say she thinks she saw Scarlett running for her life through the woods in North California， Aidan immediately heads there to check it out。 No one in the town is willing to help him until he meets Lana who is looking for answers of her own。 No Place To Run isn't what I expected at all。 I'd describe it as a crime/action thriller which moves into dare I say apocalyptic territory with its cultish vibes。 It started off as a regular missing teen crime thriller but soon developed into a more more complex tale。The book starts off gripping， drawing the reader in with a very strong opening。 As the story progresses the pace slows down and I can understand how some might feel it looses it's way a little （there's a lot going on - a lot of side plots that have you wondering how they're connected， and a large cast of characters to keep track of） however I enjoyed the slight confusion it caused - it added to the feel of the story for me。 It's definitely more plot based than character driven， and it's necessary to suspend disbelief at certain points of the story when things get a little far fetched。 The pace picks back up towards the end when all the answers start coming together。 I often find epilogues quite disappointing but I really enjoyed how this one ended。 This book feels very different to Edwards previous books， but if you're looking for something a bit different to your usual thriller then this is one to try！ 。。。more

Sheila Birch ，

great plot with twists and turns Well written， with good characters and lots of interesting and intriguing plots 。 Keeps you guessing and on your toes 。 I don’t believe in spoiling the story， you should read it yourself

Jim Coleman ，

Disappointing finale and a tortuous build up。 All the nasties get killed， nearly all of them men while the main protagonist who was responsible for so many deaths does a deal。 I prefer realism， society seeking revenge instead we have the evil females escaping to wreak future havoc but their male counterparts perishing in gruesomeChauvinistic episodes， no reality just pandering to popular culture。 Possibly I expected too much hence my disappointment becomes justified。

Julie ，

To start， I am a HUGE Mark Edwards fan。。。Loved "Follow You Home"， "The Magpies"。。。never disappointed until now。 This book was missing the signature creepiness， the characters weren't likeable， and it was kind of boring。 He lost me about a third of the way in but I finished it。 If this is your first Mark Edwards book， please read his previous books。 I'll look forward to his next release！ To start， I am a HUGE Mark Edwards fan。。。Loved "Follow You Home"， "The Magpies"。。。never disappointed until now。 This book was missing the signature creepiness， the characters weren't likeable， and it was kind of boring。 He lost me about a third of the way in but I finished it。 If this is your first Mark Edwards book， please read his previous books。 I'll look forward to his next release！ 。。。more

HOLY MOLY WHAT AN AMAZING READ。 This has everything I want in a thriller book -multiple POVs， connecting characters， mind boggling plot， and a twist that you never see coming。 This is easily in my top 5 reads of the year so far。 If you’re looking for a good thriller to sink your teeth into then look no further than this book。 TW: human trafficking， abduction， abuse， cults， brothels。

This shit was CRAZY。 It went places I never expected。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Always excited to read a Mark Edwards book！This one reminded me a bit 2 of his prior books， Follow You home and What You Wish For， just with the “adventure” format。 That is， the main character is almost on a hunt to figure out the mystery。 Would have liked more twists （personally， I thought it would have been so good if the cult leader - Shannon - was actually Scarlett， Aiden’s sister！！）， but still a very engaging read。

Debbie ，

Hoping for a sequel This book has it all…family bonds， love， murder， mystery， and extremely likable characters。 I found myself rooting for Aiden and crying with Lana。 You won’t be able to put this down。 Please write a sequel Mark。 We’ll all be anxiously awaiting it。

Clare Richards ，

One talented dudeAnother fantastic story from Mark Edwards。 Full of twists and turns。 Every time I thought I had it figured out， something would happen to change the direction of the story。 The characters are so well written， they have personality and depth。 I love that while the book is such a gripping thriller， dealing with shocking subjects， Edward's is able to weave humour in through his characters。 I loved every page and I can't wait to see what Mark has in store for us next。 One talented dudeAnother fantastic story from Mark Edwards。 Full of twists and turns。 Every time I thought I had it figured out， something would happen to change the direction of the story。 The characters are so well written， they have personality and depth。 I love that while the book is such a gripping thriller， dealing with shocking subjects， Edward's is able to weave humour in through his characters。 I loved every page and I can't wait to see what Mark has in store for us next。 。。。more

GOODREADS GIVEAWAY WINNER - Thank you， Kindle。 This story would make a suspenseful film。 It would contain violence which would be hard for me to watch。 The author brings to light the possibility of modern-day cults and the danger they could pose。 Edwards did not whitewash the evil that could result from such a situation。 Lana and Aidan made a good team。 It was a quick and engaging read。

Eco terrorism， doomsday， cults， good people， bad people， love of a brother who believes that his sister is still alive even after being reported missing for last two years。

Let's start by saying that I have read every book Mark has written and have consistently rated them five stars， but this book just left me flat。 Shannon is not a sympathetic character， and her twisted behaviors aren't justified。 The topic of protecting the ecology is commendable， but the radical approaches didn't evoke the feelings needed。 The ending was not satisfying; given that young adults can be brainwashed， the ending scene with Scarlett is uncomfortable。 Where's the hint to what she needs Let's start by saying that I have read every book Mark has written and have consistently rated them five stars， but this book just left me flat。 Shannon is not a sympathetic character， and her twisted behaviors aren't justified。 The topic of protecting the ecology is commendable， but the radical approaches didn't evoke the feelings needed。 The ending was not satisfying; given that young adults can be brainwashed， the ending scene with Scarlett is uncomfortable。 Where's the hint to what she needs to become whole again？ If there is a follow-up book with these characters， I would have to think twice before I read it， which pains me to say， since prior to his last two books， I really was a superfan！ 。。。more

I always eagerly await a Mark Edwards novel， but unfortunately， for me this fell way below the level of what I've come to expect from Mark。I found Aidan annoying and Shannon quite an unbelievable character。 It was very run of the mill and not gripping and I had to keep reminding myself it was a Mark Edwards novel and not an author I hadn't heard of。 Missed the psychological creepy thriller。 I always eagerly await a Mark Edwards novel， but unfortunately， for me this fell way below the level of what I've come to expect from Mark。I found Aidan annoying and Shannon quite an unbelievable character。 It was very run of the mill and not gripping and I had to keep reminding myself it was a Mark Edwards novel and not an author I hadn't heard of。 Missed the psychological creepy thriller。 。。。more

This is such a shame for me as I love Mark Edwards as an author and have enjoyed many of his books that I’ve read but No Place To Run fell flat for me。It started off promisingly with the origins of the story gripping me but the plot just grew to be entirely unbelievable and I struggled to stay engaged。 I did finish the book， although I was tempted to DNF a few times， and there were the occasional moments that reeled me back in with the story picking up speed toward the end but overall I just did This is such a shame for me as I love Mark Edwards as an author and have enjoyed many of his books that I’ve read but No Place To Run fell flat for me。It started off promisingly with the origins of the story gripping me but the plot just grew to be entirely unbelievable and I struggled to stay engaged。 I did finish the book， although I was tempted to DNF a few times， and there were the occasional moments that reeled me back in with the story picking up speed toward the end but overall I just didn’t feel invested。I think this author excels at the twisty， psychological， creepy and tense stories and this one is a different direction entirely which I’m sure will hold appeal for many readers but unfortunately it just wasn’t for me。Thanks to Netgalley and Amazon Publishing UK for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
