Product Information

No Exit kicks off with pint-sized, reformed party girl Darby Thorne driving through a treacherous blizzard in the remote mountain roads of Colorado on her way home from art school to see her dying mother. They seem amiable enough, then seemingly out of nowhere, a fourth individual arrives who instantly puts her on edge. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. The fun, edge-of-your-seat, kind of way; not the crawl under a blanket and not leave my house for a week, kind of way.

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. If you can silence your inner critic and suspend disbelief you will find this to be a quick and entertaining campy thriller perfect for an airport or beach read so I'm rounding up from 2.

If you haven’t read the book, No Exit kicks off with pint-sized, reformed party girl Darby Thorne driving through a treacherous blizzard in the remote mountain roads of Colorado on her way home from art school to see her dying mother. Although at times the confines of the one setting and limited characters meant that the story was a little slow at times, it was elevated by the fact that, for once, it was a very well edited and polished novel which is rare on here as most of the books I've read have at least one mistake. It’s on a short, snowy jaunt to secure even a single bar of reception that Darby unknowingly becomes a key player in a little girl’s nightmare. With road closures, no cellphone reception, and dwindling battery life there is literally no exit until dawn.

This isn't an action packed type novel, its nice and slow with a build up through which in turn creates twists and turns.The connections between the characters have also been tweaked — for instance, when Jay wakes up, she identifies Sandi as her maid, not her bus driver, and it’s implied that Sandi aided in the kidnapping because Jay treated her so poorly (i. Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. There's something to be said about an edgy, dark and action-packed thriller reminiscent of fear-inducing cinema. Now Darby has to figure out how to free the girl, keep her safe and get them both through the night.

This is one of those that I literally had to put down and take a break from because there was so much suspense and anticipation that I couldn’t handle it! And thus, Adams begins a tense, truly terrifying journey into the mind of eminently evil, fucked-up villain and the Final Girl who vows to stop him. I honestly couldn’t even imagine what I would do if I was Darby and trying to process what was happening at the rest stop and what was happening in her personal life all at the same time. The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. I’m drifting in and out of consciousness, but when I hear my wife talking to the police, accusing me of the murder of an innocent woman, a cold fear grips me.She also meets Ashley, a young and charming if not arrogant man and Lars, a creep ball and mouth breather. Her Honda Civic is struggling to get through the snow, her phone battery's nearly dead, and she's left with no choice - she has to stop at the next rest stop and wait out the storm. Overall: This book had one of the most brilliant fictional premises that I have read to date and I thoroughly enjoyed escaping into this extremely scary tale!

The pros of this setting are obvious - we can all picture a version of Darby's setting, and therefore can mentally attempt to devise our own exit strategy in tandem with Darby's. And thus, Adams begins a tense, truly terrifying journey into the mind of an eminently evil, fucked-up villain and the Final Girl who vows to stop him. Miles above sea leavel, snowed in inside a '94 Honda Civic with busted windshield wipers, a dying phone, and a cryptic text message simmering in her mind.Ex: Ash simply shoots Ed with a gun instead of first nailing his mouth shut into his skull, and letting him lay slowly, painfully dying for a while, before then shooting him with a gun. no spoiler here) There were just too many unbelievable, foolish actions and situations, silly comments by protagonist when in dire straits, stupid villains, and to top it off, the unnecessary recollection of animal cruelty/death to cats.
