No Exit

What a let down. Anyone that praises this book as riveting and terrifying has never read a really great thriller. This book was so cliched and basic. I’ve read or watched every scene and character before. Try John Hart, Tim Johnston, Meg Gardner, Don Winslow or Claire North. This is a BookTok flavor of the month publisher con job. Send me free books and give us good reviews. What a scam.

"No Exit" by Taylor Adams is a psychological thriller where Darby Thorne gets trapped with strangers during a snowstorm at a rest stop. As she tries to find a way out, she discovers a kidnapped girl in a van. The story unfolds with suspense, twists, and the characters' secrets, making it a gripping and intense thriller. 1. **Plot and Storytelling:** 3/5 The story was a nail biter almost the entire way through. By the 25% mark it had me drawn in. I did not see the twist coming. However, were moments where I was bored and frustrated with the characters leading me to knock the score down to a 3. 2. **Characterization:** 5/5 These characters were well done. Darby was very real. The villains were frustrating, realistic, and scary. 3. **Writing Style:** 5/5 Taylor Adam’s did a fantastic job writing. He evoked emotion, kept the plot moving, and wove a thrilling story. 4. **Originality:** 4/5 I haven’t read another book quite like this. It was a unique take on an all too possibly real situation. 5. **Emotional Impact and Resolution:** 3/5 This book had me on the edge of my seat. I did find myself frustrated at times and the ending wasn’t ideal to me. Overall rating: 4/5 If you enjoyed "No Exit," you might find Riley Sager's and Ruth Ware's works appealing. Riley Sager is known for psychological thrillers like "Final Girls" and "The Last Time I Lied," while Ruth Ware has written gripping novels such as "The Woman in Cabin 10" and "In a Dark, Dark Wood." Both authors excel in creating suspenseful narratives with intriguing plots and well-crafted characters, making them worth considering for your next read.

I was SO excited to read this. It sounded like such an interesting premise that would be very creepy but the "mystery" was solved within the first maybe 30 pages and the rest was the main girl running away and trying to escape. I kept reading because i was expecting some sort of twist but it never came

It will keep you guessing! One of my favorite thrillers!

The twists & turns… I mean I have been slapping my knee every time something changes that I didn’t see coming. A MUST read. I hope the movie holds up to the book.

This book had everything! Was definitely scary and would make your heart race!!!
