No Exit
No Exit: A Novel | Taylor Adams
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. A kidnapped little girl locked in a strangers van. No help for miles. What would you do? On her way to Utah to see her dying mother, college student Darby Thorne gets caught in a fierce blizzard in the mountains of Colorado. With the roads impassable, shes forced to wait out the storm at a remote highway rest stop. Inside are some vending machines, a coffee maker, and four complete strangers. Desperate to find a signal to call home, Darby goes back out into the storm . . . and makes a horrifying discovery. In the back of the van parked next to her car, a little girl is locked in an animal crate. Who is the child? Why has she been taken? And how can Darby save her? There is no cell phone reception, no telephone, and no way out. One of her fellow travelers is a kidnapper. But which one? Trapped in an increasingly dangerous situation, with a childs life and her own on the line, Darby must find a way to break the girl out of the van and escape. But who can she trust? With exquisitely controlled pacing, Taylor Adams diabolically ratchets up the tension with every page. Full of terrifying twists and hairpin turns, No Exit will have you on the edge of your seat and leave you breathless.

Good as reviews said. I think when I stop at rest areas from now on, I'll definitely be wondering about fellow travelers and what they have hid in their autos😂

Quite disappointing. While I can get behind the main character, a woman with stellar survival instincts, the writing style had me rolling my eyes a bit too often. It felt like it was trying to be cinematic (lots of dramatic pauses, cuts to black, etc.), but didn‘t quite get there.

Have you noticed the price increase from 149.99 in October 2021 to today!! $179.75!! That‘s a big difference! Well , since they already took my money I‘ll stay in for now, but when I use up my credits I‘m done!! You can buy #BOTM books everyday online!

TrishB I noticed books are creeping up very fast! 5mo
CollapsingLibrary It makes me wonder if the price for their month to month plan has gone up too. I keep pushing back when my payments would come out because I wasn‘t sue if I wanted to continue or not. Thinking I‘d rather spend money on a different book box each month… 5mo
Bookwormjillk Wow! That‘s a big jump! 5mo

ChaoticMissAdventures I am seeing so many BOTM books at my local indie bookshop. Just tons of them they are selling for $10-13 5mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @ChaoticMissAdventures and there are several groups on Facebook that sell them just days after they come out! 5mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I really need to understand this FB sale stuff better! I keep hearing of great things people get from there but have never used it, but how very cool! 5mo
tonymp I peer into my crystal ball and see the future of this subscription service will die! Actually, just life experience and observation. Most of the yarn related ones died and a couple of companies that specialized in this kind of thing went under. It isn't sustainable for customers or business people. Oh yeah, I think Columbia House went under years ago for the same reason. 5mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @tonymp I agree. I wish they would ask you if you want to continue your subscription! Ughhh 😩 5mo
dabbe @tonymp Is Columbia House where you'd get the cds? I used to have that service until cds were no longer fashionable. Have never tried #BOTM, and now I definitely won't! 5mo
tonymp @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks That's awful! They didn't even warn you when your subscription was running out? Amazon is popularly considered evil, but the big evil even has the courtesy to do that! Kindle Unlimited, for example, warns you. That's just for 10 bucks. This here is a price increase on something over 100 bucks! Insane. 5mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @dabbe I still listen to cds!! Lol 😂 5mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @tonymp yes!! It‘s awful!! I didn‘t need to have to spend $180 😫 I‘m just going to use my credits asap and then call and cancel!! 5mo
dabbe @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I still have all mine, too! 🤣 5mo
tonymp @dabbe Yes, it was the CD service. Col. H. must be the one that went bankrupt in the 1990s and continued in business. It must have been the other company that went under if you used them until CDs went out of style. One of those CD companies went out of business when CDs were still a thing. I was subscribed to the one that went under. So long ago I can't remember which one, I guess! 5mo
MartinaLove Oh wow. What an increase. 5mo
dabbe @tonymp I can't remember which one either. I used to kind of “cheat“, though. I'd get the 11 “free“ cds, buy my 1, and give the others as holiday gifts! Then I'd cancel, wait for another new offer, then do it all over again. 🤣 5mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @dabbe haha!! Lots of people do that with #BOTM!! 5mo
TheBookHippie Oh my!!!! That is a bit pricey!! 5mo
TheBookHippie SO it says 199.99 for me. That is a NO. Doing my bday month free book and then canceling. 5mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheBookHippie wow!! Will they refund you? 5mo
TheBookHippie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I called and told them no renewal so two more months and I‘m done. 5mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheBookHippie I‘m going to use mine up quickly and then cancel. There are too many people selling botm a week after they are released for 10 bucks on Facebook. 5mo
TheBookHippie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks RIGHT? they‘re at our bookshop for 10 or less as well. It‘s just not worth it. 5mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheBookHippie I saw that you liked Aardvark. Are their choices good? 5mo
TheBookHippie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I very much like them -they‘re not the “popular” type and so far everything I‘ve gotten I‘ve read and it‘s good. They‘re very new so they are working out the kinks yet. But I‘ve had a good experience so far. I‘m on month 5. I think it‘s 19 a month. I also think the book quality itself is better. If you check current BOTM against years back -old ones -you can see they‘ve gotten CHEAP. The quality is different. ⬇️ 5mo
TheBookHippie I get to the bookshop end of the week I‘ll mail you the one my daughter didn‘t steal yet so you can see . 5mo

A cinematic, fun ride all the way through. It was more gruesome than I expected (not complaining) so it felt almost like a slasher at some points. I'll probably check out the movie adaptation at some point.

Driving through the Colorado Rockies, Darby gets caught in a blizzard and has to hunker down in a roadside visitors center with 4 other stranded travelers. While outside she discovers a little girl caged in the back of a van. Who kidnapped her, and how is she going to save her?

OMFG you guys, this is the best thriller I've ever read!! I had anxiety from start to finish. This is going to be one of my best reads for 2023 for sure.

This was a good thriller, at least I enjoyed it but it is so violent. It has triggers some of them more graphic, kidnapping, violent death, intention to commit minor sexual abuse. It was good, one of those that put you at the edge of your seat😳Unexpected/confused ending at least for me. But then I read some reviews and understood it.

Andrew65 This was a good read, but agree about the ending. Hard to keep up with it all, but it might be because I did the audiobook version. Well done 🎄🎄🎄 9mo

I started out iffy on this one, some of the MCs decisions were… interesting. But she grew on me. Lots of action, gore and twists.

Darby is traveling home on Christmas break, last minute to see her ailing mother, the snowy conditions force her to stop at a rest area where she discovers that there‘s a kidnapped young girl in the back of a van. With no cell signal, or way to get help. Who can she trust? And how can they survive until help arrives?
