Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Kimberly Schraf’s performance is a standout in 'Running Out of Time.' Her voice conveys Jessie’s youthful fear and determination perfectly, making the journey feel deeply personal. The pacing is impeccable, balancing suspenseful moments with quieter, reflective ones that offer insight into Jessie's evolving understanding of her world. However, some may find the narrative occasionally overreliant on cliché phrases. Despite this minor critique, the overall experience remains compelling, thanks to Schraf’s nuanced portrayal and the gripping plot.
