Why read it?

2 authors picked No Exit as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book has all the elements I love in a secluded thriller, masterfully done with heart-pounding suspense and a solid backstory.

For me, nothing’s better than a thriller with a single setting and a heroine trapped by the weather who must cleverly unravel a mystery to escape. The author does an excellent job of combining a claustrophobic setting—a snowed-in rest stop in the mountains of Colorado—with a couple of super creepy characters for the heroine to contend with.

In fact, I was most impressed with the depth of this novel because the heroine, Darby, must do more than escape. She…

When college student Darby Thorne gets caught in a blizzard in the Colorado mountains, she’s forced to wait out the storm at a remote highway rest stop along with four complete strangers.

She thinks she’s safe—until she discovers a little girl locked inside an animal crate in the van parked next to hers. Which of the people sheltering with her put her there? How can Darby save her? Who can she trust? This intense and brutal no-holds-barred thriller features a heroine unlike any I’ve ever seen and a story I won’t quickly forget.
