NO EXIT a gripping thriller full of heart-stopping twists

Product Information

I won’t go into spoiler territory, but there are actions of the characters and plot points that made no sense and defy rational explanation. Now Darby has to figure out how to free the girl, keep her safe and get them both through the night. All the while, trying to figure out who the predator is. There is no cell phone reception, no telephone, and no way out. One of her fellow travelers is a kidnapper. But which one? Overall, NO EXIT is an outstanding thriller with an engrossing storyline which will keep you on the edge right till the end. Highly Recommended.

No Exit doesn't just promise to be an entertaining thriller—it delivers. This is one of my favorite thrillers of 2019.I can't get into any level of detail as to the culprit of the kidnapping - it's definitely spoiler territory. BUT I can say that Adams was able to fool me twice. His antagonist is chilling, off-kilter, and honestly terrifying.

Taylor Adams has brought us a true gem in this pulse-pounding, gritty, and realistic thriller with a one-of-a-kind unique setting. 5 strangers. 1 snowstorm. 1 isolated highway rest stop. 1 kidnapped child. What would you do? The culprit is revealed very early on the novel and it mostly becomes a story about Darby trying to stay alive through the night. I disliked a number of things about this, but I especially didn't like how the villain was so over-the-top, mustache-twirling, muahaha EVIL. Their penchant for showmanship just felt silly and I still don't understand why he would abduct a girl with Addison's disease. It just seemed like extra drama for the plot. Surely he could have found a more convenient target? 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. The chapters are short and the chapter numbers are replaced by the time of the events (another nice touch), reading like a countdown to the climax. There are a few minor plot holes but they can be overlooked. The slightly humorous tone at the start may feel out of place but some of it does play into building of an important character. Darby trudges along multiple times in knee-deep snow during a blizzard wearing Converse sneakers, but only footprints are left behind. Is she somehow miraculously walking on top of the snow? There's no mention of the freezing wet cold or frostbite that would surely result.Trapped in an increasingly dangerous situation, with a child’s life and her own on the line, Darby must find a way to break the girl out of the van and escape. I enjoyed so much and highly recommend to all thriller lovers who enjoy to read something different and unexpected!!! I had heard a lot of buzz about No Exit so I was really eager to read it, and Adams definitely didn't disappoint. The book probably should come with a trial-sized supply of tranquilizers, though, to calm you down once you've finished! Violence — in all its forms, and especially in its most shameful — beatings, killings . . . . Immortality is as much at home here as noble feelings . . . . There is also love — preferably vile — violent passion, implacable hatred." Great pacing by Adams. I am really excited to see what he comes up with next. I hope he consistently stays in this Thriller/Horror zone. I definitely think he's found his sweet spot!
