Darby is on her way to visit her dying mother in Utah, when she gets caught up in a blizzard. With the roads impassable, she has to wait out the storm at a remote rest stop. Four strangers are also stranded there. When Darby is trying to make a call outside, she discovers a parked van that has a little girl locked in a cage inside.
Location and atmosphere are very important in this book and you can feel both constantly. They both add to the constant tension you feel, while trying to figure out what’s going on.
The beginning of the book is much stronger than the end. The further the story progresses, the more action. “No Exit” is not a thriller with so much trying to find out who is the culprit or with surprising twists and reveals, it is an action-packed, intense thriller. I liked the build-up and you’re constantly on the edge of your seat. This remains throughout the entire book. Even though author Taylor Adams reveals an important part fairly quickly, is does not lessen the tension.
This story is all gas, no breaks. Which I didn’t mind. And although the book had one great reveal/ twist, the overall story was quite predictable. Which is okay in this case, because there is only so much you can do in a remote location with only six characters. Managing to still make it exciting for the entire duration, is well-done.
“No Exit” is a wild ride, a book I would recommend to people who are looking for an exciting, fast-paced and action-packed thriller. It’s all fairly straightforward, but I had a great time reading it.
