This is my first ARC and it did not disappoint. In true Freida fashion, there were twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. Just when I thought that maybe I had it figured out….surprise! Another twist. I thought the character development was incredible and the descriptions of the setting along with the storyline allowed me to visualize what was happening. This is definitely in my top 3 Freida McFadden Books! Thank you Freida for another nail-biter of a book!

This book was addicting! I just couldn't put it down, I just kept wanting to know what happens! The ending was a shock and like all of her books you never know the twist even though you know it's coming!! Highly recommend this book - it's a great read!! Thank you Freida, for another great book!

As a huge Freida McFadden fan, I was very much looking forward to The Crash! It is a quick read - I finished it on a snowy afternoon (a perfect backdrop for this book!)
While I was pleased with the pacing and plot progression, there were a few plot points that required quite a stretch of imagination. This book wouldn't be the first I’d recommend of Frieda’s books, but I was satisfied with the ending overall.

4.5 ⭐️ I was able to be chosen for an ARC of this book a few days before it released. I wasn’t able to finish it before it was released. Big fan of Freida! This book was so good and it kept me wanting to read more! Did not see the twists coming and when I say I audibly gasped at several different parts of the book, I was like a deer in headlights! Way to go Freida, you did it again!

I recently received a ARC copy, I'm so lucky to be one of the firsts to read it. I absolutely loved it. It was a definite page tuner from start to finish.. Anyone who loves mystery/thrillers should definitely read this book.

Freida McFadden is known for her gripping psychological thrillers, and she deliver yet another page-turner with The Crash. This novel is packed with suspense, twists, and an eerie sense of dread that keeps readers hooked from start to finish. The story follows a particular women, and her experiences through a series of personal events. After a frightening car crash, she embarks on an unexpected journey, and is skeptical on who she can truly trust. I wholeheartedly enjoyed the short chapters, and cliffhangers which make The Crash hard to put down. Every chapter ends with a revelation that compels you to read more. While it began a bit slow, the further and further I got into the book, the better it got. Then end had me wanting more, so maybe a sequel?

This book i couldn’t put down, i finished it in 2 hours! Just when i thought i knew who tried to kill her, jokes on me not who i thought it was.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found one small spelling error later in the book with Hank’s name (spelled Hanks instead of Hank). This is only the second book by Freida McFadden that I have read and I can see why people enjoy her books. As a writer myself, I know what I like to read that inspires my own writing. I will not put any spoilers into this review..

Freida does it again! 4/5 ⭐️. My heart was racing from the first chapter. My one wish was that the twist was discussed a little more. I feel some of the middle stuff could have been cut down and the twists to have been more in depth. But overall once I started I couldn’t put it down.

There is no way for me to sugarcoat this....this book was awful. The main character was obnoxious and idiotic. The secondary character were just as bad and apparently every single police officer, DCFS worker, hospital security guard, etc. were useless. Clearly inept. I could not recommend this book to anyone. You would have to be a juvenile to believe that anyone or anything in this book makes sense.

This is the first book by Freida McFadden for me so I'm late to the party so it's time to go back to the earlier books. As expected there were twists and misdirections. starting with the prologue. There are some unlikeable characters, misguided and unbelievable situations then the unexpected outcome. It's fun to be surprised by a story and this is an enjoyable quick read, even if you figure it out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Crash was not the best, but not my favorite Freida book. It had me hooked in the beginning for sure! But the plot twist, I felt was not as strong as the rest of hers! Tegan was in for the ride of her life for sure! I was definitely cheering for her survival! There were a few things I anticipated, but the main twist, was not as thrilling as I was hoping.
It definitely could’ve been a quick day read, but life was just busy for me and it didn’t have me hooked the entire time.
Not my first pick for her books, but not one that I would just skip. If you’re looking to get your book goals, this one’s for you. If you want a huge plot twist, this one won’t be that.

As an avid Freidah-Readah, I was so excited to pick up this book. Her books are usually great palate cleansers for me since they're so fast paced, easy to read, and always pack a good punch and several twisty turns. This one, however, fell a little short for me.
After completing the book, I understand the title. The cover makes perfect sense. The story was incredibly different than what I was expecting and there were moments where you couldn't put it down. I was waiting for the twist and waiting for the twist (because if you know Freida, you know it's coming), but when I finally made it to the twist, I was like "... what?" It just didn't make sense to me. After it was explained, I still was like "I mean.... okay? I guess?"
Now, the epilogue was done in Freida-fashion and I really enjoyed it, but not as much as some of her other ones. Overall, not a bad read, but probably not a re-read for me.
Thank you so much to Net Galley, Poisoned Pen Press, and Freida McFadden and her team for the ARC. I appreciate you letting me read this early in exchange for my open and honest review.

This book kept me up for hours. BECAUSE I COULDN’T PUT IT DOWN. The writing was phenomenal, as always, and Freida kept me guessing til the very end.

I was so thankful I got to read this book before it came out. And in true Freida fashion, she did it again. Now there were times that Teagan got on my nerves, but this book was so good. I devoured it and finished it in two days. I totally recommend this book. So if you’ve never read a free book, go ahead and pick this one up it was so good.

Ahh i absolutely loved this book! This is probably my favorite Freida book! I was so scared for tegan the whole book! And the twists in it wow!!

4.5 Stars
Freida does it again! This one was more story driven versus twist and turns. It made me continue turning the pages to see what thing Polly would do next. Girl was absolutely crazy! Hank was such a sweetheart and put up with so much for love. That final twist at the end though? I did not think that was who it was gonna be!! Freida will always be an auto-read/buy author for me!

I started reading Mrs.Frieda Mcfaddens books about a year ago, and every book I have never seen the ending coming! I was in a head on collision Dec. 27th, 2023. I came home from the hospital New Year’s Eve. About two weeks later I went to say I seen Frieda post about “the crash” and her next book would be published. I was excited not only was it a Frieda McFadden book. But a book I would be able to relate to in a way. I will say all friends book are amazing, this book was no different! The only thing I wished more was the ending to be more of a twist of the plot. The plot was interesting and did keep me on my toes, but it gave the ending of the story away almost. But nonetheless the crash is an amazing book!! Thank you so so much Frieda to you & your team for sending me an arc of the crash!!

This book keeps you on the edge of your seat! It was so hard to put down! Freida, once again shocked me with the ending!

I love the premise of this story. The remote location, the blizzard, the isolated cabin… I was hooked from the very start.
For the first 30%, this book reminded me of two of my all-time favorite Freida books, The Housemaid and Never Lie! There was constant tension and suspense, and paired with the short chapters, it was impossible to put down.
I think the pace slowed down a bit about halfway through. Some parts became a bit repetitive. I still really enjoyed it, though.
I loved the protagonist, Tegan. I thought the other characters were also interesting (can’t say much more about them in fear of spoiling the plot). While the twist wasn’t anything too crazy or unexpected if you’ve read a lot of thrillers, I still liked the ending. It felt very satisfying.
