Freida McFadden
A brand new psychological thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden! The nightmare she's running from is nothing compared to where she's headed. Tegan is eight months pregnant, alone, and desperately wants to put her crumbling life in the rearview mirror. So she hits the road, planning to stay with her brother until she can figure out her next move. But she doesn't realize she's heading straight into a blizzard. She never arrives at her destination. Stranded in rural Maine with a dead car and broken ankle, Tegan worries she's made a terrible mistake. Then a miracle occurs: she is rescued by a couple who offers her a room in their warm cabin until the snow clears. But something isn't right. Tegan believed she was waiting out the storm, but as time ticks by, she comes to realize she is in grave danger. This safe haven isn't what she thought it was, and staying here may have been her most deadly mistake yet. And now she must do whatever it takes to save herself--and her unborn child. A gut-wrenching story of motherhood, survival, and twisted expectations, #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden delivers a snowbound thriller that will chill you to the bone.

"Very quick read good as well "

"In a brief sentence explaining this book: A pregnant woman with a stressful life meets an unhinged nurse after a car accident and their worlds collide in a way that is not in favor of the pregnant woman. <br/> <br/>Tegan is eight months pregnant, alone, and her only wish is to make a good life for herself and her unborn daughter. After an upsetting meeting with the sperm donor father of her child (who is an absolute loser), she heads out to stay with her brother for a few weeks and hopes to deliver her daughter and figure out what to do with her life now that she will support this baby alone without financial stability. In a desperate decision due to lack of money, she decides to get one more workday done before she leaves to see her brother turns out to be the worst mistake of her life as she drives straight into a nasty New England blizzard. <br/> <br/>Losing control of her car in a whiteout, she crashes her car into a tree and is hurt. In a panic, she knows she cannot walk, but her car also is out of commission. She fears she will die in the cold before she is discovered in the storm, but a very large scary man sees her car off the road and offers to help her. This is when her nightmare begins, and she never arrives at her destination. Now she must do whatever it takes to save herself—and her unborn child.<br/> <br/>This was an Instagram book club pick and also when you should take other people's opinions with a grain of salt because I saw a bunch of negative reviews of this book, and I disagree with them. I really enjoyed it. I saw a few references saying it was just like Misery by Stephen King. The only similarity to his book is the blizzard and accident. The rest of this story is nothing like that book, and I was also happy with how it ended. I don't want to get into more detail since I hate it when I read a review and see spoilers, so I will not do that.<br/>Am I glad to have read this book? Yes"
