And all throughout, I was rooting for Darby to make it through.Īpparently the movie adaptation of this book just wrapped filming very recently, and is coming to streaming services in 2022. I didn’t expect some of the twists either. Not one moment felt out of place or draggy, and one plot twist on top of the other kept the story alive and kicking. When the first plot twist hit, the story never once let up. Adding all this to the fact that she’s in a hurry to get to Utah to be with her mom in her final hours-the stakes were through the roof, and it showed in her desperation. It was so palpable and though-the-page that I felt uncomfortable for her, even when nothing particularly dire has happened yet.
Bad weather, depleting phone battery, strangers you're unsure if you could trust-it had all the makings of an overall uncomfortable situation. As much as it was uncomfortable to read, I guess it’s something you’d have to expect in intense thrillers like this one.Īs soon as Darby entered that rest stop, you could already cut the tension with a knife. Its strongest asset in my opinion is how it held the same, tense atmosphere throughout-right from the first page, the cramped overtone of the book was what kept me hooked.
No Exit was such an exciting addition to the Locked Room trope. But which one of them did it, and who among them can she trust?
From then on was a race to save the girl from her captors before the storm lets up, and doing so under the nose of the possibly murderous kidnapper stranded with her in the rest stop. While she tries to find cell signal outside, she makes a horrifying discovery-a little girl trapped in a crate in the van parked next to her car. Darby Thorne gets stranded under a snow storm inside a highway rest top with four strangers.
