About this listen
It was supposed to be an escape. A new life living off the land. It was supposed to be a peaceful community. A family. But it was a lie.
Six months after he arrived, Bowie learned the hard truth about Oasis. There are rules, and they are made to be followed. The consequence of disobedience is deadly.
Once you’re in Oasis, you’re never getting out. And its cultish founder has eyes everywhere.
One year into his survival, with a plan to escape slowly simmering to life, Bowie is faced with a problem. New members have joined the community, among them a man who catches Bowie’s eye. Foster is attractive, older, and as far as Bowie is concerned, completely unavailable. This doesn’t stop Foster from flirting or poking his nose where it doesn’t belong. His reckless behavior will get him in trouble, but Foster doesn’t seem to realize he’s playing with fire.
One wrong step and history will repeat itself.
Bowie can’t allow that to happen, and telling Foster the truth about Oasis comes with risks. A fragile alliance forms. A budding romance develops. And more secrets are unveiled.
When their plans fall apart, Bowie and Foster find themselves in a tangled race to escape Oasis and expose the commune before it’s too late.

Perfect suspense and mood
Story: Such a moody book! Nicky James did a great job setting the stage for this book and putting the reader in the right mood! I was riveted from the start and loved how the plot umfolded. The pacing was spot on!
On top of that, the MCs were great creations and lovable from the start. As usual for this author, we get to meet two complex people with all the perfect imperfections that make them genuine and perfectly fitting for the story.
Narration: Flawless performance as always!

A thrilling, cult-themed suspense story
I have so many feelings about this story that I hardly know where to begin. I loved the storyline, creepy cult vibes and scary suspense and all. I felt like I was on the edge of my seat listening to Foster, Paxton, and Bowie sneak around and try to collect evidence to expose Oasis, and some of the risks they took made my heart skip a beat. The reason for Bowie's desperate need to escape was gut-wrenching, and there was something especially sinister knowing that over three hundred people had been coerced into believing Father Wilder's words. I got hooked on the mission so quickly, and I could barely tear myself away from the story to refuel. But I also developed an intense dislike of Foster as I kept reading. I have no issues with the way Nicky James wrote him as a character, and he was absolutely portrayed in a believable way, I just got so incredibly frustrated with his impulsiveness throughout this book. It's definitely a personal issue--I've been so spoiled with Nicky's other detective books where Valor and Doyle are amazing, and I suspect I have a thing about competency in people--but it was hard to get attached to his romance with Bowie when I was so dang mad at him more often than not. If anything, I have to applaud Nicky James for really sticking to her characterization of Foster, even when it would have been much easier if he hadn't made some of the decisions he did, and it added an extra layer of tension to the whole storyline. There's something especially scary about being in a life or death situation and genuinely not knowing if the main characters will react in a good way, and man did that get to me towards the end of the book. Bowie ended up shouldering so much of the mission, and while I was thrilled to see him stepping up, I can't say the same about Foster's character development. That's a very long-winded way of saying that I loved the suspense aspect of the story but couldn't get as engaged in the romance as I wanted to, but honestly the suspense was more than enough to keep me invested in the characters as they raced to find a way out of their situation. I feel like I'm still processing the way things went down--shocking reveals, unexpected allies, devastating losses, and all. Foster and Bowie didn't have much time for closure, but I was satisfied with the little glimpse into their future I got in the epilogue.

Beyond intense
I’m not sure I even know how to start a review for this story. Again, this unique author has come out of who knows where with a story and characters so original. This author never follows the cookie cutter path to the stories she writes and each time she blows me away not only with the originality of the story but the uniqueness of the personalities and locations.
This is a cult story. Some people are easily swayed by promises of a better future, lifestyle and wellbeing for themselves and others. The environment is what the draw is for Bowie and Collin. A place called Oasis with a founder and leader that is completely memorizing. Only after a short time they find out things are not as expected. One main issue is the rules. Disobedience is not handled well. Bowie reconsiders his options and has decided his next moves when a couple join the group and Bowie is in charge of introducing them into the lifestyle and rules.
Foster and Paxton are not the normal group members. They are newly engaged and Foster has a problem with being independently opinionated. This story takes a number of twists and turns. People are not exactly who they appear to be. Things do go as planned. At one point I got almost afraid who might get killed. I’m amazed how this author can take a story and give me such a well described location, events and people that I feel like I’m actually reading a true story being reported. I enjoyed the story and the way the author puts together all the pieces at the end. Nick as usual did an excellent job. I love his narrations.
