(11)The Crash by Freida McFadden

Sunday, February 2, 2025

 


The nightmare she’s running from is nothing compared to where she’s headed.


Tegan is 
eight months pregnant, alone, and desperately wants to put her crumbling life in the rearview mirror. So she hits the road, planning to stay with her brother until she can figure out her next move. But she doesn’t realize she’s heading straight into a blizzard.

She never arrives at her destination.

Stranded in rural Maine with a 
dead car and broken ankle, Tegan worries she’s made a terrible mistake. Then a miracle occurs: she is rescued by a couple who offers her a room in their warm cabin until the snow clears.

But something isn’t right. Tegan believed she was waiting out the storm, but as time ticks by, she comes to realize 
she is in grave danger. This safe haven isn’t what she thought it was, and staying here may have been her most deadly mistake yet.

And now she must do whatever it takes to save herself—and her unborn child.

A gut-wrenching story of motherhood, survival, and twisted expectations, #1 
New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden delivers a snowbound thriller that will chill you to the bone.

I think Freida McFadden's agent needs to have a conversation with her about quality over quantity.  I was disappointed with The Crash. The story felt stale, and there wasn't a single twist that surprised me.  I felt for Tegan; she was in a bad spot with the father of her baby, but many times in this book, she acted like she was thirteen. Not in her twenties. And then her decision, in the end, was just... wrong. The author was trying to show Tegan as empathetic, but really, her actions were dangerous. 

I am not sure I would recommend this one to anybody. Her other books offered so much more in the way of "edge of your seat" plots.
