Freida...girl, get some sleep! 😂 How in the world are you releasing banger after banger?

This book follows Tegan, who is 8 months pregnant. She is on a road trip during a blizzard and as the title predicts, there is a crash. As the story goes along you also get the pov of a woman named Polly.

All I can say about this book without giving something away is Tegan is in for an adventure.

I gave this book four stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The only reason this wasn't a five star read for me is because the middle was a little slow and repetitive. Plus, the use of the nickname Tuna in every other paragraph was more than enough for me. 🐟

Thanks to Freida and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC.

McFadden is back with another twisty psychological thriller. The Crash centers around Tegan who is eight months pregnant and looking for an escape from her life. When her brother suggests a visit, she immediately starts driving to his house. As the weather gets worse and the snow comes down harder, Tegan ends up stranded on the side of the road with a broken ankle and a crashed car. She will never get to her brother’s house…

Some of the characters in the story had unexpected redeeming qualities and all were fully developed. A fun, fast-paced read with surprises to the very end. I couldn’t put down The Crash.

Lucky enough to get an AR of this and I was so tickled!!
As an avid reader I am always surprised when an author can hold my attention with each book(as some tend to blend together).
Freida's latest is a prime example of something that kept me guessing till the end! I kept telling myself "one more page, then bed" well I finished the book around 2:20am and have no regrets!
Twisty and exhilarating, just like a curvy mountain road you pray not to crash on.

I'm starting to figure out McFadden! I accurately predicted ALL of the twists this time, which I haven't really been able to do before. It was disturbing reading from Polly's point of view and learning her motivations. I enjoyed the ending, but it wasn't my favorite McFadden book.

This was a quick read, same as I usually find Freidas books. However, it was a different read than her usual I found, maybe it was the subject of the book or majority of the book being based in one location, I'm not really sure, but I did find the style was a little different. This book kept me guessing throughout but it also felt dragged out at times. We really needed to leave that one location at times for a break of the repetition. Overall, it was a great quick read and what I would call a palette cleanser.

Another incredible book by Freida! She really is the master of unsuspecting twists! The dual perspectives of this book make the reader root for all the characters at some point.

As always, the twists and turns of this book took me by surprise. I was totally not expecting that major plot twist. The basement interactions were nerve wrecking. Polly was a very frustrating character that needed a lot of professional help and Hank needed more of a back bone in my perspective. Overall a great Thriller that kept me on edge.

The Crash by Freida McFadden was so good! I loved the story line and it kept me hooked from the very first page! Thank you for the advanced reader copy! Freida McFadden never disappoints me!

First and foremost, thank you Freida for all the opportunities you give your readers for a chance to win ARC copies. I was honored to be one of the many McFans who received an advanced copy of “The Crash!”💥 Thank you and special shout to Mandy and Poisoned Pen Press as well for the opportunity. We love you all! 💕

This novel is highly anticipated and Frieda never misses the mark. Frieda has done it again, mind blown!

Meet Tegan, a young woman in her twenties who is pregnant. As most young mothers, she’s struggling. Money is tight, and her luck is wearing thin, but Tegan presses on and there are better days on the horizon. However, don’t let the smokescreen fool you, everything is not always as it appears. While down on her luck, Tegan sets out on the road, and a winter storm is rapidly approaching. Tegan is longing to visit her brother. However, before Tegan reaches her destination, she crashes! 💥Is there any hope for Tegan!? This novel is a story of hope, fear, and a mother’s heart.

In a novel that is full of smokescreens where nothing appears as it seems, and the people you think you know, you don’t. Another five-star read from Freida! Mind-blown! 🤯

5/5 Stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Freida McFadden did it again. I FINALLY received an early copy of one of Freida's books! Totally started my morning off right! Freida McFadden has a knack for creating twists and turns you don't ever expect. I found "The Crash" to be riveting, un-put-downable. I was so interested in the story, that I forgot to think about or try to figure out the twist(s). This book is about a pregnant woman who crashes her car and is stranded when a couple comes to her rescue in the middle of a snowstorm. Is she safe? Are they going to hurt her? Does anyone even know she is missing? I am a fan of Freida McFadden and would recommend almost all of her books but this one is worth the wait...only I didn't have to wait :0)

I wasn’t sure about this one at first. It seemed different than some of her other books but man was I wrong. The ending got me.

True Frieda tale, but a bit more predictable than the others. I think she may have planned it that way though… Nothing special about this one, but per usual, a quick read that held my attention. Love you Frieda, but I think I need to pause on you for a bit. Binged too many at once.

This was a classic Freida book with all the same twists and turns. This is one of the first books where I semi figured out some twists that were coming. It was still enjoyable

A must-Read!! Very different than any Freida McFadden book that I’ve read. Always expect the unexpected with Freida’s book!

This book hooked me right from the start. Freida did a great job of creating twists that no one expects.

Tegan is pregnant and alone. On a drive to her brother's house in Maine she is overcome by a blizzard and crashes her car. A stranger arrives to help, or not. Tegan finds herself trapped in a basement with a broken ankle and a very pregnant belly, both hindering her escape. Her only friend is the baby inside and Tegan will do anything to protect her.

This mystery is full of interesting characters and plot twists. Just when you think you've got it figure out (and I thought that pretty early on!) the story turns and a new motive is revealed. This was the perfect book to binge on a snowy, post-holiday day-off.

*** Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC. All opinions are my own. ***

This book was excellent! Probably my new favorite by Freida. It really kept me hooked and was able to finish it in a couple days. It wasn't just a thriller, it also made me think about the situation and how I would have reacted in the same situation. Would recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Not my favorite Freida McFadden, but, still very surprising. Just when I think I've figured it out. NOPE!

This book was absolutely enthralling and I am thrilled and honoured to have gotten an ARC copy. Thank you so much to Freida for another remarkable book. The perspective shifts were amazing, the moral of the story was beautifully integrated. This has probably taken number 1 of the Freida books I’ve read! I did not want to put it down pretty much as soon as I picked it up. I felt for all of the characters in such a deep way and some of the story really resonated with me on a personal level. Thank you for another addictive read!!!

This book had me hooked from the beginning! In typical Freida style, just when you think you know the plot twist and where the book is headed next – you don’t. This was a 4.5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.5 for me. If you are looking for a psychological thriller with dual POV, as well as a wintery snowstorm (perfect for the winter weather in its release month of January) and crash in a desolate area – grab this book! I couldn’t have been more thrilled and appreciative to receive an ARC copy of this book from NetGalley and to have received an invitation from the author’s team.
