Publisher's summary

Audie Award Nominee, Science Fiction, 2013

Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s. Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends. Or the end of everything....

Critic reviews

"A riveting apocalyptic mystery in the style of LOST." (Craig DiLouie, author of The Infection and The Killing Floor)
"A wholly original story that weaves together mystery and the apocalypse like a finely tuned band." (Evan Roy, Bricks of the Dead)

Editorial Review

If you love a good mystery and are even remotely interested in sci-fi or horror, 14 is the perfect escapist treat, and listener-favorite narrator Ray Porter is at the top of his game in this performance. Plus if you loved LOST like I did, this book will help with those withdrawals you're likely still experiencing (just me?)Sam P., Audible Editor

Quirky, laugh out loud and edge of seat thrilling - all wrapped together!

This book took a few chapters to get me hooked but soon, without my even noticing the transition, I found myself completely immersed in it! 14 has it all; great writing, interesting plot, witty humor, gripping suspense and - the “piece de resistance” - an excellent narrator!

Well worth the money and the two solid days I spent with ear buds glued to my head!

This was a good listen

This was a good listen. I’m not a huge sci-fi listener but every and then it’s good for a change. The story was good the reader did a very good job. The end was a bit predictable. All in all I liked it.

Fine

This book has such great promise. I was quite invested with great character development. However, once all the potentially spooky stuff was illuminated and the "action" heated up at the end, I was disappointed and couldn't wait for it to be over. I like sci-fi, but this was half-baked.
Narrator was great, though.

Ear candy

Listen to many books on audible and rarely leave a review - but this book was just fantastic. Well written, engaging from page (minute) 1, and totally satisfying!

Frightfully Fun!

Very enjoyable listen, fast-paced story with good humor, good action, and a villain that makes your skin crawl.

What happened to the pet food

The book: It is a very good read. It does not explode until chapter 40+ but you do not get bored. It's really great. I love using audible because I can read while I am driving, swimming, exercising, or at work; and still accomplish other tasks.
The story: I was guessing the whole time. I never figured it out. It's clever and unique. It offers a lot of explanation but also lets you guess some things too. There is one point where Oscar goes to get pet food and returns but it's never mentioned upon his return. It seems to be a small overlook. Anyways. I loved it.
The reader: amazing. I love a female reader but Ray Porter hits the nail on the head. He kept my interest. I find it easier to not get distracted by a woman's voice. I have no clue why. Ray Porter uses accents and pitch and really sells each character. He is great. Looking to listen to more books by Ray.
