Good premise, awful execution. 

College girl goes home to see her dying mother, gets caught in a snowstorm at a rest stop, finds a young girl in a cage in the back of the fan and has to determine how far she is willing to go to save someone else.

Juvenile, lazy writing. If you had told me a teenage boy wrote this, I would have believed you. Repetitive. Cringey, try-hard dialogue.

Unnecessary misogyny, racial slurs and ableism. 

This is not good writing. Maybe it makes a better movie.

Much scarier and gruesome than your average thriller. Definitely not a relaxing read.

Wow. It takes a lot for me to be so committed to a book on a school night. I started it to help me fall asleep, but suddenly its 2 am and I'm sitting here, book closed, in pure shock. I wasn't amazed by the book in the beginning. It seemed standard and I was able to catch one of the twists right away but after that I was completely lost. My brain was tossed in every direction following this plot and my stomach turned with every moment of suspense. Every single character is a dumbass but goddamn if being a stubborn dumbass doesn't help you succeed.
