Read this to take a break from a book I was having some trouble finishing and oh wow. This book swept me in within ten minutes and held my attention throughout the book with chilling plot twists and a beautiful ending.
This book was a quick read but not an overly enjoyable one. The two main “bad guys” were not believable or menacing. The farting was lame. The sexist and racist jokes added nothing to the storyline. I really hated the weird unnecessary attraction that Ashley had for Darby. It’s the middle of the night, in a snowstorm, she’s trying to get to her dying mother, she’s at a rest stop. Why does she need to look hot? Why would this apparent psychopath that said she tasted like shit when he kissed her, weirdly fall in love with her so much so that he would marry her in another life? This attraction prevented him from killing her even when he was in an adrenaline fuelled rage. He is meant to be cold and calculating (he acts like everything is okay when you insult him and then he bides his time and punishes you at the right time), yet he is also impulsive (tried to break Darby’s nose even though it could mean ruining his cover). He loved her yet he still needed to kill her and punish her? This book is just so filled with violence against women bs. I honestly don’t know why so many people love it. I love a good thriller but I need some scares, some believable characters, and at least one likeable character. I did like the couple of mini twists at the end but not enough to make this more that a 2 star read for me.
Ah this was good - sad in a lot of ways but I really liked the way it ended. It wasn’t quite as nail biting as advertised, but it was a good read overall.
this book was def a thriller and kept me guessing. i just really don’t like books that have a short timeline
WOW! What a great book. The twists and turns don't stop through the entire book. Keeps you guessing the entire time! You will be sitting on the edge of your seat reading this fast paced book!

Thrillers don’t normally make me love the characters but I genuinely cared about them and what was going to happen to them. This is the definition of a page turner for me. The concept is also so fun and unique.

No Exit is an edge of your seat THRILL ride. I purchased a copy of this book because of the high ratings and I also wanted to try out a new author- I'm really glad I did! While this book was quite different than I expected, I think the fact that it WAS different made me like it even more. I was expecting it to be a kidnapping story about a girl, a kidnapper, and the race to find out WHO the kidnapper was, but it was nothing like that. I think readers are going to really enjoy the originality of the story based on this.
One thing I think readers should know is that this book is a lot more violent than one would expect. I never imagined the kind of gory bloodshed that was within this book would actually be there, but it was. I think it added to the shock value of the book. There were moments I cringed, flinched, and even had to look away from the novel. If you don't like this sort of thing you don't have to worry too much because it's not like this throughout the entire story only in some sections. You can easily read past it without missing anything.
Other than this I think this is a good, solid novel. It's dramatic, twisted, thrilling, and intense. It's also dark, frustrating, and chilling. I can see why do many readers rated it highly. I will certainly be looking for more of the authors work in the near future.

Exhilarating ride. This one is a fast paced one... and an action packed read.
