This was one of those listens that I hung on every word spoken, not wanting to miss a clue, and in anticipation for the next shoe to drop. I loved the different characters and the horrific circumstances just seemed to get more and more dire as the hours at the rest stop ticked by. And she knows she's in a dire situation but then oops she left her phone in the bathroom or oops she wasn't looking where the hell she was going. There are 2 main characters around whom the story revolves and how they evolve as the story goes on is a joy to read, especially Darby Thorne.

She also meets Ashley, a young and charming if not arrogant man and Lars, a creep ball and mouth breather. This novel belongs to the latter genre and has a plethora of luck factors favoring the villain, which makes this novel look appalling. This is a thriller/horror novel about a child abduction that takes place in the middle of a blizzard in Colorado. They say that the apparition of all experiences and sensed presences are most common during this time. Our main character Darby gets stuck at a rest stop in Colorado on the way to visit her family, and she meets four strangers at a rest stop, and in the parking lot she sees a child locked in a cage with duct tape over her mouth in the back of a van.The premise of a small group of strangers confined in a small space is not new before but NO EXIT takes the concept to another level. She goes outside in a failed attempt to get a signal and happens to glance in the back of a parked van. MC Darby was sliding and rolling down a hill in mountainous Colorado, yet she never runs into rocks, scrub brush or deadfall? Update: I read and wrote this review in June 2017- I can't remember how I received the galley ☹️For unknown reasons, it looks like this little gem is just now widely published. If anything, I'm sad to hear the progress on the film deal for this one seems to have stalled, because a story like this is absolutely ideal for the screen!

The prose here aren’t anything too special and there was nothing that really blew me out of the water. With her phone battery waning and the conditions becoming continuously more treacherous, Darby gets off the exit at a nearby rest stop. Some of the twists, though, made me roll my eyes a little, but that's when the book felt a bit like a summer blockbuster, where you don't question how long the battle will continue until resolution is achieved, because nothing ever goes smoothly. It's quite a motley crew to pass the time with, especially when there's no real entertainment save endless card games. Seeing other vehicles in the lot, Darby realizes she isn't the only traveler waylaid by the dangerous weather.Her mobile phone had zero reception, its battery reached almost zero percent, and she forgot to take the mobile charger. Trying to get a signal on her phone, Darby walks by a vehicle in the parking lot and sees a little girl locked inside a dog crate. A thrilling fast-past, climatic, heart-pounding game of cat and mouse between two strong and very different characters who try to outwit each other. There's not much to the rest stop—some coffee and hot cocoa, a few vending machines, and four strangers.
