Wow, I was really surprised, given the good reviews this book seemed to have, just how horrid it turned out to be. I am careful as I can be about the books I am going to purchase and normally after reading the actual book description, it's based in large part on the popularity and good reviews it gets. The majority of the time I am more or less in agreement when I'm finished reading that book. Not this time.While trying to not give anything away, I will say this book starts out okay, but be warned, it gets nasty fairly quick. Two of the main characters are pretty disgusting, cringe-worthy individuals to start with. Then there's the heroine of the story who goes to hell and back and back and back again (and you get the gist) to the degree of utter ridiculousness to save the poor child victim in this whole, overly dramatic, gross saga. It just got so unbelievable that I started skipping pages. And the cringe part never let up to the point that I just couldn't wait for it to be over. The ending was just a relief, really. So maybe I didn't vet the book enough or somehow missed the warning somewhere, but this was definitely not the book for me.

No Exit A Novel Taylor Adams Books Reviews
Our protagonist Darby is a college student who is racing home through Colorado to be with her dying mother. An unfortunate combination of blizzard conditions, a jackknifed semi, and zero cell phone reception soon leaves her trapped at a highway rest area with four strangers. They all play Go Fish for a while until the snow plow comes and they go on their way. Just kidding. Darby discovers a young girl duct taped in a van and all hell breaks loose and you can't breathe or sleep until you finish the darn book. And even then you'll probably think about it for a while longer.
Darby is a resourceful heroine. At one point she jimmies a lock with a shoelace, crafts a makeshift weapon from a sock and a rock (helpfully called a "rock-in-a-sock"), and creates a time-delayed explosive device on the fly. Since when does CU Boulder have Sophomores with the skills of a Navy SEAL? At any rate, she's an even match for our villain, who I will not spoil here, and their tit-for-tat takes us through much of the action. The action does get pretty gruesome at times. One of our characters endures a terrible injury that is described in excruciating detail, so this book may not be for those with a weak stomach.
Above all, this book is just plain well-written. The simple setting means that every object has importance. There is no wasted dialogue; everything the characters say has meaning which may be apparent immediately or later in the book. As a reader you will endure a lot, but the resolution will bring everything together.
It did not take long to get thoroughly engrossed with this book. I read it flying across the country and actually wished the flight wasn’t over because I didn’t want to stop reading! Well thought out characters, and plot. Multiple times when you think you know what will happen next you are surprised from beginning to end. This went much faster than most books for me because I really didn’t want to put it down, needing to read every detail and see how it played out.
SO GOOD!!! One of the best books I have read this year!
I was hooked from the beginning and couldn't put it down. I read it in one sitting and devoured the pages completely unaware of anything else going on around me. (I didn't even hear my husband calling me I was so engrossed!) This book had me gasping out loud, biting my nails, going "OMG", smiling, yelling in ager, crying and so many more emotions throughout the book. My husband said "wow that book must be good" because I don't think any other book I have read had me so hooked and actually gasping out loud. I read this after reading B.A. Paris The Breakdown and was expecting this to be an average predictable easy thriller, but oh boy was I wrong. I will definitely be reading more from this author. If you are looking for a good page turner with nail biting suspense this is absolutely the book!
Agatha Christie could not have set it up better. Our heroine is a young college student returning to a home she swore was behind her. Her mother is headed into a life threatening surgery necessitating her eating her words. A high speed return over the Rocky Mountains slows to a crawl as a blizzard shuts down traffic and the road closes behind her just before she hits a major mountain pass. Cell coverage disappears,car problems worsen and deepening snow forces her to take refuge in a seemingly opportune rest stop. Three cars parked outside, four people inside, oh,and a little girl locked in a dog cage in the back of one of those vehicles. It was just chance that allowed her a glimpse of the tiny prisoner and chance seems to rule the night. Which one of the people inside is the monster behind the kidnaping and how to rescue that little girl? Among her smaller worries are things like surviving the night, getting ahold of her mother-you know, the usual. The plot contains little new for a seasoned mystery reader, but it is the execution that sets NO EXIT apart from the rest of the pack. A well sketched,sympathetic main protagonist and believable supporting characters drawn with depth make this an intriguing read. Add in a fast pace and a surprisingly rousing ending and you have escape entertainment done well.
This is one of the worst books I have read in a very long time. The writing was such that I was distracted by it to the point where I couldn’t enjoy the storyline. It was like a horrible Scooby Doo episode. No one talks like this. Especially cops. No cop says they’re going to go search for clues! No cop repeatedly calls a suspect a perp! OMG stop watching tv and talk to some real life cops! This was my first and last book by this author. I am baffled by the awesome reviews.
