This is a very good book. The pacing was great, the characters realistic and the storyline was interesting. I absolutely love Mark Edwards' writing style, it's so easy to read whilst also being atmospheric and really drawing you into the plot.

My main issue is that this the third book by the author I have read where the plot is a man trying to find a missing woman who is in some sort of a cult. There are variances of course but the general gist is the same and it leaves me wondering how many times the same plot can be recycled.

Having said that I still really enjoyed this one as it held its own surprises and was very well written.

I really enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end. It was a very different type of story than any other Mark Edwards book that I have read. It had action, drama and suspense all rolled into one. It was a hit Netflix movie just waiting to be made. What started out as a missing person plot line twists and turns into so much more and it was crazy! The ending blew my mind!

another brilliant book by Mark Edwards. I was hooked from the first page. Aiden is a brilliant character that is really relatable. The story line was full of lots of twists and turns and over all well thought out. I really like the setting I felt like it added the right amount of eerieness to the story. some scenes added the extra thrill without drawing away from the story. the ending was pretty open fingers crossed for a second book

Yes, yes, yes! I was doing my happy dance at work when I saw that No Place to Run was available to read for free! Mark Edwards is one of my favorite go-to authors of creepy, scary, give me the heebie jeebies, sleep with my lights on, psychological thrillers! His talent for horror is insane!!

While this book was engaging and had me tense at times, I did not experience the usual creepiness that comes with reading Edwards' novels. I would classify this book as more of a "wild goose chase" mystery than a thriller. This was mildly disappointing, as I crave the psychological, mind blown, WTF? moments and "hiding under my blankets" fear that Edwards' writing so excellently instills in his readers. I want to be really scared!!! Unfortunately, I didn't feel that here.

I still really enjoyed this story and finished in a day. It was just different than his usual books.
He is a brilliant writer and I am a HUGE fan!! I've read all of his books and will continue to do so....waiting very impatiently for the next one to come out. On an end note, I feel like Mark Edwards is an underdog in this genre and deserves more recognition. I highly recommend you start reading his books if you haven't already done so. For fans of true horror where the monsters are REAL, you do not want to take a pass on Mark Edwards! Trust me!

Special thanks to NetGalley, Amazon Publishing UK and Mark Edwards for allowing me free access to this digital ARC!

This book had so much potential but it fell flat. In the beginning it was thrilling and had me on the edge of my seat. However, a few chapters and a couple of plot twists later, I did not like the direction it took.

Francesca, an elderly woman on a train sees a woman running into a clearing in the woods. A man is running behind her. Francesca and the woman lock eyes. Francesca doesn’t forget a face and believes that she has seen that girls face somewhere before. She scours the internet and finds the girl on a missing persons website. Francesca decides to write an e-mail saying she believes she has spotted the missing girl.

Aiden Faith has been on a guilt driven quest to find his sister Scarlet who has been missing for two years. When he receives Francesca’s tip, he decides he needs to check it out. So begins a crazy series of events culminating into a lackluster ending. Will he find his sister?

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc in exchange for my honest review.
