The Crash by Freida McFadden

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

3.25

Read The Crash on release day, in pretty much one-sitting (with a nap and food breaks lol), as Freida McFadden’s writing style is incredibly fast-paced.

The story overall keeps you hooked, but I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed by the main big twist, but I did like the very end. Overall, it felt a little predictable, and like what we have read in her books before (reminded me a bit of her previous book The Boyfriend). 

I get there are only so many plot-lines to be done for thriller stories though, but I will always come back to Freida’s work because the stories are always so engaging throughout. 

Tegan, fears that her life may be in danger after her car veers off the road during a blizzard. It’s not only her life she has to worry about, because she is heavily pregnant with a baby girl. Her ankle is broken and a man named Hank rescues her, but because of the blizzard he drives her to his cabin home instead. His wife Polly is a nurse, and has a hospital bed set up in her basement after caring for her (now deceased) Mother. 

Polly and Hank have been unable to conceive a child of their own, and Polly is desperate to be a mother, no matter the cost. Could Tegan and her unborn daughter be at risk the longer she is trapped there?
