This book could have been so much more if it didn’t rely on racism for the main villain. The story was fine, unbelievable at times, but nothing too crazy for thrillers. However, I had to stop myself from throwing the book across the room more than once at its blatant racism and the fact that it seemed like Taylor Adam’s has never met a women in his life, with how Darby was written.

Darby is an art student who is driving home to see her mom in the hospital with cancer. She has to stop at a rest stop due to a blizzard. She finds a child in the back of a van and must save the child from whoever put her here. 

Darby trusts all the wrong people through out the night and has to constantly change her plans. 
Ashley is the mastermind behind this operation to bring Jay to his uncle. He thinks he is super smart but keeps getting stumped by Darby. Darby and Jay have to survive the night before the cops come to help them.
