Publisher's summary

When a family camping trip takes a dark turn, how far will one mother go to keep her family safe?

Struggling with working-mother guilt, Marlene Greene hopes a camping trip in the forest will provide quality time with her three young children - until they see fires in the distance, columns of smoke distorting the sweeping view. Overnight, all communication with the outside world is lost.

Knowing something terrible has happened, Marlene suspects that the isolation of the remote campsite is all that's protecting her family. But the arrival of a lost boy reveals they are not alone in the woods, and as the unfolding disaster ravages the land, more youngsters seek refuge under her wing. The lives of her own children aren't the only ones at stake.

When their sanctuary is threatened, Marlene faces the mother of all dilemmas: Should she save her own kids or try to save them all?

Anti climactic

I agree with one previous review. If I had known it was a series, I wouldn't havre wasted my time. This book was anti-climactic and left you hanging off of a small retaining wall. (Easy to jump down without a thought, other than "what a waste of my time". I was shocked when it rather abruptly ended and went back on Amazon to see where I missed that this was a series, still couldn't obviously find where they revealed this information. I will not be running to grab the second book, if it ever comes out because I will easily forget the first.

Love this book for strange reasons!

The main character angers me but I am still fascinated by her! Her choices bother me to no end as it could have been better! However in panic mode as she is I have to forgive her as she isn’t thinking clearly. I keep searching for the happy endings to her choices. This book is not predictable by any means. Give it a shot and see for yourself!

Intense story.

I was taken by surprise by the story line which held my interest to the end. However, I have mixed emotions about the conclusion and feel like I have been left up in air without a sure place to land.

An incredible story

This book was read flawlessly with such raw emotion that I was able to experience the feelings of each character. I wasn't sure about reading a book set in England, but it didn't matter, only the story and the characters mattered. This is brilliantly written and a must for listening too on audible.

Strange story left me wanting

Strange story left me wanting closure. Characters were overall unlikable and untreatable. Not a book is recommend.

Suspicious, Funny, and Touching

I truly enjoyed this book. It had my interest from the beginning. It had me laughing at times. I was anxious to move to the next chapters just to see what was going to happen. At times, my heart was racing due to curiosity of what was about to happen. I recommend this book to anyone that likes having mood swings of laughing to being suspicious.

Wow! What a listen!!

Loved it! when reading the description it was different to what I normally listen to, but as I have been struggling recently to find anything that keeps me interested I downloaded it anyway! I was not disappointed! kept me gripped the whole way through! every chapter was relevant to the story and there was no drawn out unnecessary stories or chapters. No chance of getting bored whilst listening to this, brilliant!

Boring with too many loose ends

I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone.
Too many long rambling chapters with the only drama created around new additions to the story that did not make sense. There was a perceived constant threat, that I’m sure was designed to keep the reader interested only proved to be frustrating as there was no climax and none of the characters were believable or had such minor parts you never actually got to know them. Very disappointed. Don’t waste your time.
