Welcome to Litsy!

“No Exit” by Taylor Adams was excellent—tense, twisty, and impossible to stop listening. The unique aspect of listening to audiobooks is that I don‘t always know how much time I have left in the book. Many times, I thought the story was nearing its end based on the unfolding events, but I was always pleasantly surprised by the unexpected twists and turns.

Just finished reading this book club pick. It starts at full speed and does not slow down. College student Darby receives a message that her Moms in the hospital and is in serious condition. She takes off and drives during a snow storm and gets stuck at a rest stop. From then on, so many things happen. Can‘t wait to watch the movie! #thriller # firstbookof2025 #kindlebookpick #bookclub

My second book by this author and both had me gripped! I love that this story doesn't start with a who-dun-it story. It gives the reader details in one horrific night!

PROMPT: EXIT IN TITLE

A phone call that her mother had cancer, a snow storm, a rest stop with strangers, and worst of all a child locked in a cage in a van.

Talking about an intense read, we need to capitalize INTENSE.

Good, easy read! It‘s jumps right in, is action packed, with a couple twists and turns I didn‘t see coming! The only downfall is how every single thing that could have gone wrong for Darby, did. Well. Minus one thing. (1)
⭐️: 3.75/5

This was a really tense read and I loved it. #12DaysofChristmas @Andrew65

#TeamReindeerGamers #BuddyRead #WinterGames As a thriller this book was great. I was shocked, concerned for the main character and tensed while I read this. 📚 I give this book a high rating. Also qualified for #RushAthon @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

#BuddyRead #TeamReindeerGamers #WinterGames. Well Shit! This book is making me angry. Now Darby is mistaken for the attackers and is killed for it? As Darby is fighting for her life, Jay keeps her awake and tells her to keep fighting. Darby wrote Asleys and his uncles so they could be caught. We know the cops arrived on his doorstep. This book kept me tense, and I thought for sure Darby had died. I am so glad she survived. Loved this thriller.

#BuddyRead #TeamReindeerGamers OMG 😲 This girl is so brave and smart. I can't believe what she did to get free! She kills Lars, Ashley figures out what she did. She has that spare bullet, but after she smells the gas everywhere, she realizes she can't fire that gun. So, again, the window. The place blows up, but I think she knows Asley is still alive. She tells Jay to run to the plow. Jay is safe, and Darby goes after Asley. 👇

#BuddyRead #TeamReindeerGamers Darby tries to figure out how long it will take the police to get there. And Asley shows her a text that says She Died. Her mom died? While she is tied up, he tells her to put her hand in the hinge of the door and slams it. Meanwhile, the cop is at the wrong truck stop. Ashley sure has a mean streak. 🙄 @Karons1 @TorieStorieS @MatchlessMarie @Bluebird

An excellent dark thriller/horror featuring a college student who finds herself stranded at a restaurant stop during a blizzard. She discovers a potential crime and works to solve who among the fellow stranded is guilty. This full of twists and turns and a fantastic winter read. 5⭐️

#BuddyRead #TeamReindeerGamers Sandi Sprays Darby with peper spray and unlocks the door for the brothers. Ed is shot in the face with the nail gun. Darby and Jay escapes but ends up in the snow and finds all the tires shot with nails. She gets a 911 text telling her to go someplace safe and that they are on their way. Suddenly, Asley is there. She tells him he can't kill her because she is the only one who knows where his keys to the van are. 👇

‘Thirteen hours, four strangers, one missing child. No exit. She knows her odds—she‘ll fight anyway.‘

I finished this a little early. I had to keep reading. I had to know what happened. This is one of those books that keeps you guessing till the end.

As Darby walks in the truck stop, she sees Jay. What a relief. Ed seems to be friendly with the girl. Jay whispers to her not to trust the couple. Nothing is as it seems. She learns Jay has a medical condition. Supposedly, the brothers were to meet up with Uncle Kenny. I knew Darby should never have trusted anyone
Dear Lord, this can not get any worse. @JessClark78 @Karons1 @TorieStorieS @MatchlessMarie @Bluebird

#WinterGames #BuddyReads #TeamReindeerGamers Wow! Ashley is a psychopath. He literally made her nose bleed by hitting her head on the table. I still don't trust Ed & Sandi. Also, we learned about the brothers' upbringing. It wasn't pretty. She decides to try to go out the bathroom window. And the plastic bag is thrown on her head. I am tense reading this book 🫣 @annahenke @JessClark78 @Karons1 @TorieStorieS @MatchlessMarie @Bluebird

#TeamReindeerGamers #BuddyRead Chapt Midnight-12:04 I knew it! Ashley and Lars are brothers. Now I am suspicious about the other two. Darby manages to escape and gets inside by the window. Darby gets a threatening note, but I still think the couple is involved. @annahenke @JessClark78 @Karons1 @TorieStorieS @MatchlessMarie @Bluebird

#BuddyRead #TeamReindeerGamers #WinterGames. Sorry, team, about being a day late. I'll catch up today. Chap 10.18-11:07 Darby found a bullet in the van, and she studies the caliber. She mentions that she has a swiss army knife. She trusts Asley and decides to get him involved by slipping a note to him as she tells Asley what she found, I believe he is involved. There is something about the way he is acting. We learn more about Ed and his fear.👇

#BuddyRead #TeamReindeerGamers #WinterGames Chapter Night-8:39 pm After realizing that there is a girl in the van, Darby breaks in. She gets info from her like her name and address. After hearing someone coming, she hid in the van. Lars comes to warm up the van and does these obnoxious things while waiting. He leaves, and so does Darby. What is her plan here? @annahenke @JessClark78 @Karons1 @TorieStorieS @MatchlessMarie @Bluebird

#BuddyRead #TeamReindeerGamers We meet Darby as she is on her way home before her mother goes to surgery. There is a snowstorm, and I feel for this girl having a small car 🚗 for the drive is not fun. There is a desperation in this chapter. She is forced to stop at a restop. She meets 2 men and an older couple. There is no cell reception, and I feel for the desperation of wanting to reach her sister. She quickly assessed the cars in the parking👇

Today‘s reading plans. Starting No Exit for the first team #BuddyRead, then starting Amityville Horror Christmas.

Good as reviews said. I think when I stop at rest areas from now on, I'll definitely be wondering about fellow travelers and what they have hid in their autos😂

#summerendreadathon 15th book @TheSpineView
#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Quite disappointing. While I can get behind the main character, a woman with stellar survival instincts, the writing style had me rolling my eyes a bit too often. It felt like it was trying to be cinematic (lots of dramatic pauses, cuts to black, etc.), but didn‘t quite get there.

Sell off #6

A cinematic, fun ride all the way through. It was more gruesome than I expected (not complaining) so it felt almost like a slasher at some points. I'll probably check out the movie adaptation at some point.

#20in4 readathon second book

Driving through the Colorado Rockies, Darby gets caught in a blizzard and has to hunker down in a roadside visitors center with 4 other stranded travelers. While outside she discovers a little girl caged in the back of a van. Who kidnapped her, and how is she going to save her?

OMFG you guys, this is the best thriller I've ever read!! I had anxiety from start to finish. This is going to be one of my best reads for 2023 for sure.
