What if you're stuck at a rest stop in a blizzard with strangers and discover a kidnapped child? You don't know who to trust and have no way to contact anyone. What would you do? What could you do?
That's the dilemma college student Darby Thorne is faced with in this fast-paced thriller. She's on her way home to see her dying mother when she has to stop at a remote rest stop in the mountains of Colorado. She can't get any cell phone reception, and there is no phone there. Just Darby and three strangers, and the kidnapped child she finds in an animal cage back in the van. But, who's the kidnapper? Anyone of the strangers could be the kidnapper, who to trust?
Taylor Adams knows how to write a suspenseful thriller that takes the reader for a ride. I was hooked from the start, and I loved how the book started off with action pretty much right from the beginning and then kept going. The bad weather, the isolation and the odd characters at the rest stop makes NO EXIT a thrilling book to read. Darby is such a fabulous character, an ordinary woman that has the impossible to save the life of a little girl.
A brilliant, edgy thriller about four strangers, a blizzard,
a kidnapped child, and a determined young woman desperate to
unmask and outwit a vicious psychopath.
