No Exit

In Taylor Adams's thriller debut, No Exit, this ground-breaking thriller will chill you in the same vein  and timetable like Sandra Brown's Chill Factor, a decade ago or so. For Darby Thorne, all she wanted is to return to Provo Utah to visit her sick mother who was diagnosed with cancer over the holiday weekend during her college break. But it wasn't so easy for her when she ended up trapped at a rest area in a midst of a horrible snowstorm. Stranded with four other people, they had to wait twenty-four hours until the roads are cleared and help could arrive. While they've gotten to know each other better, things got dicey and the odds didn't look too good for them. As Darcy went out to check things out, she discovered that someone had kidnapped a little girl for money. And she figured it out later on to ask for someone to help it out, she was dead wrong literally with no allies to support her. With a dangling threat to keep her alive and to stay survive, she had to outwit them and find a way to escape and call for help in a lethal do-or-die situation with a grisly climax in the end.  

This was a fantastic thriller from start to finish. I loved how it took place in over 24 hours or less and in the midst of a snowstorm during holiday break for Darby in Colorado. I was saddened to hear what happened to her and her mother and what happened to her in the end--I won't give it away.  But she was a hero and believed in doing what she'd thought was good; to rescue a little girl and to keep her from harm. It was hard to like the other characters, other than Jay, the little girl, who was caught up in the midst of a messy kidnapping plot. It brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps to my skin. The themes of the story are there's all different acts of bravery and don't let selfish greed motivate you to do evil.

If you love heart-stopping, jaw-breaking non-stop suspense, plenty of drama, lots of deadly action, and sparks of mystery, you'll be chilled and thrilled in No Exit today.
