I have read all of Freida McFadden's books and was very excited to receive this ARC. I enjoyed this book very much and it was a lovely distraction from the holidays. I recommend readers pay attention to the trigger warnings for this book, as it does touch on a very sensitive topic. Overall, the book is another solid Freida novel that keeps readers in suspense until the very last page.

I was able to read an ARC copy of The Crash, that is set to come out January 2025. The story is of a young pregnant mother, Tegan, who finds herself in a difficult situation as she crashes her car during a snow storm. Luckily Tegan is saved by a couple who take her to their home until the storm let’s up. However, that decision could have been more reckless than the wreak. This book is by far the best Freida McFadden book that I’ve read thus far (out of the ones I have read). In true Freida fashion, Just when I thought that they twists were done, BAM, twist again. Perfect read for the psychological thriller lover. Definitely add this to your TBR!

I will read anything by Freida. Felt so lucky I was able to get the ARC! Freida always sucks you in right at the beginning. Overall great read. Freida always leaves you guessing until the end.

This book was so well written! I was so invested in Tegan and Tuna's story and what their outcome would be that I had a hard time putting this book down. Normally, while reading Freida, I'm waiting for the "big twist" this book read so well that I was so sucked into the story I wasn't anticipating the TWISTS that came at the end and it made the whole reading experience that much better!

I received this as an ARC and I’m forever grateful to have received it!

This book I could not put down!!! Just about off of Freida’s books are ones you need to keep reading. But this one was a definite page turner leaving me wanting more!

Thank you Freida once again for another amazing book

Another easy read from Freida. Typical exciting thriller with a twisty ending I didn’t see coming. Read in two days!

Freida has done it again with another fabulous book! Every single chapter kept me engaged just like all of her other ones. Character development was strong from the first chapter. My relationship and feelings with the characters throughout the book changed so many times! I never would have expected this book to take the turn it did after she got in her car to go visit her brother.

Wow!
Well, I was up into the early morning hours finishing this one because I literally could not put it down. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This one felt like a wild Lifetime movie paired with Misery and I couldn't get enough.
I was on the edge of my seat for every part, not even trying to put together the puzzle because I just HAD to know Tegan was going to be okay.
I was wide eyed, cringing, anxious and fully engaged the whole way though.

The Crash has blasted it's way into my Top 5 Freida reads and I think it'll be up there with The Housemaid and Never Lie for fan favorites.

Note:
If you have triggers, I beg of you.. Please check them before you read this book.
I don't want to list them as some view these as spoilers, but I would say there are a handful of sensitive topics in this one.

Thank you, Poisoned Pen Press and Freida McFadden for another nail biting read and lack of sleep.. 😅🤩🫶

I just got done reading my ARC of Freida McFadden's "The Crash" and wow!!! It was so good, I couldn't put it down and read it in less than 24 hours. I loved it from beginning to end. My new favorite book of hers for sure. Go pre order yours now! You won't regret it.

Freida has done it again! She is such a great story teller, just when I think I know what is going to happen, she twist the story upside down with one of her amazing twist.
The crash is no different. The story is about a down on her luck girl who comes upon some good Samaritans after a car crash. She soon realizes, good Samaritans are not always good.
This book was fast paced and kept me flipping pages until I was at the end.
Definitely recommend!

I love this book! I was on the edge of my seat from page one. The whole book I was wondering what would happen next i couldn’t put it down. If you have read books by Freida McFadden before, you know how her books have the famous “big twist” that is near impossible to predict. This book was different that I wasn’t trying to figure out the twist. It was just true suspense the whole time and you were wondering how it would all play out. I already read the book but i know when it’s released in January and everyone else can read it i’m going to have major FOMO!

From the first page, I was hooked! The author brings you into the excitement and mystery from the very beginning. I need a book that draws me in right away, and this book hit the mark!

This is not a short book, but I read it in one day. The author really knows how to write a thriller that you NEED to find out what happens.

The characters weren’t overly complex and I liked that Tegan was relatable.

Overall, this is an exceptional read for anyone who loves thrillers.

Freida NEVER disappoints!!! This book I devoured, the way she builds the setting and the characters is everything! When you think you know what’s going on, think again. This book keeps you on your toes!! 10/10 for me.

Great book lots of twists and turns, beautiful ending. Thanks for advanced copy. Excited for my friends to read so we can discuss.

Always love a cozy cabin with a killer secret kind of book. This book has a great representation of miscommunication and two person interaction. And of course the ending wrapped up the book so great. I hardly could tell the villain and sympathize with everyone. Makes me more cautions around going to strangers houses!

4.5 stars

Tegan is 8 months pregnant & struggling to make ends meet. The father of the baby offers her a large sum of money for her to keep quiet after she finds out he’s married, but she refuses for reasons that she only remembers when she comes face to face with him again. In order to get away from everything for a little while, she decides to go visit her brother. Little does she know, she’s driving into a blizzard & ends up crashing her car. A man comes to her rescue & ends up taking her to his house where his wife, a nurse, takes care of her. But is everything really as it seems?

Freida McFadden has become one of my favorite authors & at this point I will read anything she writes without even reading the synopsis, so I went into this book completely blind & I’m so glad I did. It’s an addicting, locked door style thriller that will keep you guessing. In true Freida fashion, this book had many twists & turns that I did not see coming. However, this didn’t feel like a typical Freida book, but I mean that in the best way possible. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get into the thriller genre. It has easily become one of my top favorite Freida books.

Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press & NetGalley for the ARC.

4.5 stars!!!! This is now one of my favorite Frieda books (second only to the Housemaid!). It had multiple twists weaved throughout and was just really well done! Perfect amount of suspense and truly never knew what was going to happen.

Want to give a huge shout out to Mandy, Poisoned Pess, Netgalley, and, of course, Author Freida McFadden!

This! Before reading, if you have triggers, please check before reading.

I was lucky enough to receive an arc reading, and this DID NOT disappoint! A quick read with the edge of your seat and locked room suspense had me hooked. The twists.. ...OMG

Of course, "I had it figured out.... " and I'm sure you will too..... but will be wrong like I was. I didn't see it coming.

Don't miss out this coming January! This was one of my top Freida McFadden books I have read!

Freida has done it again!

Tegan is 8 months pregnant and in a sticky situation,and there are only a small number of people she can depend on. Just when things are starting to fall into place, tragedy strikes... Thankfully a good Samaritan comes along, and help is always a good thing, right?
As Tegan's "circle" expands and constricts, you'll be right along with her wondering who to trust.

In true Freida fashion, she leaves you guessing right up to the very end. You're never quite sure where you are going to end up by the epilogue of a FM book, and The Crash does not disappoint. I didn't even bother trying to figure out; I was just along for the ride--and what a ride it was!
