Freida did it once again!! She never fails to impress me. Her twists in each book are one of a kind. Great book by an amazing author. I’m so honored and thankful to have received one of her arcs for this book!

In true McFadden fashion, this book left me on the edge of my seat. I thought I knew where it was going but the book had the twist that she is known for. I enjoyed this book immensely.

4.5/5 stars for this one! I really enjoyed the genuine human feeling for all of the characters and really shining light on many maternal feelings while also making a killer thriller. Of course I couldn’t fully guess the twists, but I loved the needing and how everyone got exactly what they deserved.

"The Crash" is another exciting, twisty thriller from Frieda McFadden. I was very surprised by one of the twists in this book. I loved the setting and characters. It felt high stakes throughout the whole story. I will of course being reading more of her books. This one is one of my favorites though, right up there with "The Housmaid."

Thank you, NetGalley, for an e-ARC of The Crash by Freida McFadden.
The Crash represents a trope that has been used too many times: pregnant woman, trapped in a snowstorm, held hostage in stranger's house... McFadden provides her signature twist at the end, but the story itself seemed rushed and predictable. The characters are flat and the writing feels like that of a teenager. I just don't understand why she is so popular right now. I am glad to have read this book; as a librarian it is my job to have a finger on the pulse of what is hot, but I can't say it was enjoyable!

If you are a fan of Freida McFadden, The Crash will not disappoint. It is a slightly different layout from some of her other books but it still keeps you coming back for more. Instead of two storylines, I his book tells the same story from two points of view Her development of characters is outstanding and relatable. I highly recommend The Crash!

Ms. Freida, may I suggest you take a few months off and reset? You’re starting to write books at almost a James Patterson pace (do you use ghost writers?), and I am starting to feel like you are focusing on quantity instead of quality.

So where do I begin? First, I think you could have played up Teagan’s situation a little more. We as readers are supposed to feel sorry for her circumstances. But when she reveals the manner in which she became pregnant, I honestly thought she was losing it!

And can we please retire the infertile female character that is jealous of every other female that’s pregnant? That trope is played out! Why do we creative this narrative that a person struggling with infertility will want to harm anyone who is pregnant? I don’t like that...

Finally, I think the ending was weird and didn’t tie everything together. If anything, it proved that all of the characters had a couple of loose screws. Read at your own risk.

Tegan is eight months pregnant, alone, and desperate to leave her crumbling life behind. With nowhere else to go, she sets off for her brother’s house, unaware that her journey is leading her straight into a blizzard.
She never makes it.
Stranded in rural Maine with a broken ankle and a dead car, Tegan begins to fear she’s made a terrible mistake. But when a couple finds her and offers her shelter in their remote cabin, she thinks she’s found safety.
But all is not as it seems. As the storm rages on, Tegan’s growing sense of unease deepens. The couple’s kindness begins to feel suffocating, and she starts to realize she’s trapped in a nightmare. This once-safe haven may be more dangerous than she ever imagined.
Now, with no one to trust, Tegan must fight to survive—both for herself and her unborn child.

As always this Freida book is full of twists and turns and just when you think you’ve sussed it the actual twist hits you in the face. I really enjoyed this read it was super fast paced as usual and kept me wanting more. It wasn’t my favourite book by this author but still a great engaging read.

THE CRASH
Freida McFadden
Mystery/Thriller

When, at 8 months pregnant, Teagan finds herself alone and stranded, she has to make some tough decisions. Go with the seemingly perfectly nice couple who found her or find a way to go on alone? But is that couple as nice as they initially seemed?

This is one of my favorite books by this author that I have read so far. I loved every twist and turn in it. I would give it a solid 5 out of 5 stars. #TheCrash

The Crash by Freida McFadden is a bit different compared to her other books. It is a slower burn book that allows the reader to utilize their senses. To truly feel like the reader is experiencing what the characters are going through. Highly recommend this book just like all of her others! 5 stars!

Many thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of The Crash! Freida McFadden does it again and hooks you into the storyline from beginning to end. Lots of twists and turns and just when you think you’ve figured it out what’s going to happen, trust me you don’t! If you’re looking for a fast-paced thriller that you can’t put down, this is it!

This book was great! Freida always does such a great job. Although I work in a school. I work with middle schoolers and at this age MOST middle schoolers perfer not to read. I also work in a low income school but our Liberian is great about getting new books and I feel like this one is an appropriate read for this age, so Im going to suggest it to her!

Absolutely loved this one.
Yet another classic McFadden story!
Kept me on the edge of my seat guessing all the new twists and turns.
Honestly the ending shocked me.

I normally love this author's books and was excited to read this one. I found that this one just didn't seem up to par with previous novels by Ms. McFadden. I found myself wanting to just skim the story, and I really disliked all of the characters. I did finish it, hoping my opinion would change, but it didn't. Honestly, it reminded me too much of Misery.

Thank you Freida McFadden and Mandy Chahal for the ARC read. Even though my review is late, I would still like to send one.

If you enjoy Freida’s other books you will enjoy this one as well! It follows a young pregnant Tegan on the way to see her brother, however, things take a turn when she crashes in a blizzard leaving her injured and stranded. A large hulking man stops to check on her and takes Tegan to get help for her injuries, at least that’s what she thinks is happening until they pull into a drive of a house in the middle of nowhere instead of a hospital. Tegan then finds herself stuck in the basement of the home and isn’t sure when or how she will escape, or who to trust.

The more I think about this book the more I think the repetitiveness of Tegan’s thoughts while she is trapped are necessary for her character. She’s young, frantic, and possibly delirious due to her injuries not being treated. It created the feeling of anxiety you can feel while reading.

The Crash is another gripping book by Freida McFadden. The main character is in a dilemma of who to trust as she tries to get help for herself and her unborn baby after a snowy car crash. Does she trust the right person? Will she get help in time? The author incorporates the theme of good and bad in the twists. It’s definitely a unique spin on the typical Freida twists. I would highly recommend this book.

Freida always killin it with the twists at the end! Never would've seen this one coming. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to read it!

Thank You to Poisoned Pen Press, Freida McFadden, and NetGalley for the free e-arc.

Freida McFadden is my favorite author. She writes books that are very entertaining, on the edge of your seat, and you can't put down. This book is no exception. The characters are well developed and interesting. I love when the story is told from multiple voices, two in this book, so more of the character, their thoughts, and actions enhance the story. My only problems with the book is that it is a little slow and repetitive in the middle. The ending was a twist and I'm not sure I believe it.

2.5 stars, rounded up.

Let me start off by saying that I'm a big fan of Freida McFadden, but this book was just not it for me.

The Crash is about Tegan is 8 months pregnant and all alone with a boatload of problems. In order to escape for a bit she decides to drive out to see her brother, but she never makes it due to the huge storm that hits. She ends up in a accident that badly injures her ankle and is rescued by large man that takes her back to his home and wife.

It doesn't take long before Tegan suspects there is more going on in this house than meets the eye and decides she needs to get out of there in order to save her baby. I want to point out that the summary claims that Tegan realizes she needs to do "whatever it takes to save her unborn child", but as far as I'm concerned she definitely did not. The decisions she makes make her seem dumb and willing to easily give up.

The Crash was okay in the beginning, but in the middle it became extremely repetitive and just dragged on. The end did have an okay twist, but it wasn't McFadden's usual jaw dropping reveal. All in all, I just wanted more. I love her books and this one just didn't do her writing justice.

The Crash is full of unexpected twists and had me hooked within the first chapter and had me guessing throughout the entire thing. The ending was not what I predicted but I have yet to guess the ending to a Freida book. I finished it in a day! Definitely one of my favorites!
