Buckle Up Buttercup!

Oh-Em-Gee!

This is one that will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat, from beginning to end.


Strap yourself in, this one is going to be a bumpy ride!

While driving to Utah to see her dying mother in hospital, Darby gets caught in the mother of all snowstorms, she is currently in the mountains of Colorado so there is nowhere for her to go, but she sees a rest stop nearby.

With no phone signal and the roads all closed, Darby decides to wait out the storm there.

In the rest stop there are a couple of vending machines, and coffee Hallelujah!!

There are a 4 people there that have obviously had the same idea and are already caffeinated, so Darby joins them and introduces herself, after all, it;s going to be a long evening.

Desperate to get some information about her mother, Darby tries in vein to get a phone signal, maybe if she was a little higher, or if she was further out, so she goes for a little walk to see if she can get anything, her phone is almost out of juice, and she is starting to panic as her mother has an operation scheduled.

While wandering around the car-park waving her phone in the air, desperate to get a signal, she sees ...something.

She's not sure if she's seeing things so she checks again, and yes! She was right!

The van parked next to her car has a little girl...in a cage....in the back of the van!

But who's van is it? There are only 4 people in the rest stop, all of them strangers, one of them is a kidnapper, and she has barely any phone battery and no signal, what can she do?

This is a great thriller that will have your heart racing from the get-go.

Narrated by Sarah Naughton who did an excellent job, her character voices were great and made me have a serious loathing for at least one of the characters.

Grab this one if you can, you won't be disappointed

Isolated, extreme weather, remote location thriller

This book didn’t change my life, but it was exactly the kind of thing I was in the mood for listening to.

It’s an extreme weather, remote location thriller with a limited number of characters and enough twists to keep things interesting without it veering into the realm of the unbelievable.

Were some of the character’s actions illogical? Yes.

Did it spoil the story? No.

If this premise sounds like your kind of thing, then I’d recommend this book.

good story narration not suitable

l thought this was a good thriller story but the narration in my opinion wasn't suitable enough for the more dramatic scenes. would make a good movie I think.

Predictable

I was hoping there would be more mystery and prolonged suspense about who the kidnappers really were. I didn't feel any connection to the main character at all, just like she was nobody. I got to about 70% and just got bored of it.

Heavily recommended

As an audio book, it was thrilling and very hard to stop listening. It was captivating from beginning to end. However, there are extraordinarily gruesome depictions of scenes and possibly uncomfortable discussions. Come prepared!

No Exit Review December 2021

The story starts slow and may leave you pondering on some details and direction , nevertheless if your looking for an unexpected turn of events and a warming glow of admiration and true grit towards characters this may be the ticket and destination for a brief adventure, once it gets out the traps, worth a read. Read well with good expression and emotion. Thank you.

Enjoyable Thriller

I really enjoyed this book. It was great and had loads of anxious moments.
I would definitely recommend it.
It was not a 5/5 for me as I felt like there were certain things that just did not connecting/ missing. I still have questions🤣

But nevertheless, a fast paced thriller with a bit of gore (the latter I was not expecting). What more could you want.
