Might just be one of the worst books I've ever read

Some novels are thought provoking. This will just make you wonder how it even got published it the first place, and leave you both uncomfortable, and disappointed.

I had extremely low expectations to begin with from reading the first half of the novel, and seeing other's reviews too. And yet somehow the "twists" were ever worse than I was expecting. Every time I thought surely this couldn't be it, because it would be such bad writing, that's what ended up happening. It's like the author picked from a list of plot twists, and put them all together in one book, regardless of whether it makes sense or not, which, of course, it doesn't.

I had to force myself to finish this one and I would've DFNed it if not for two things, knowing that this was a book club book and I'd get to complain about it later, and also the fact that numerous people keep recommending me this author's books. At least now I can have a thought out answer to that, and explain why I will never willingly read a Freida McFadden book ever again.

a plot-twisty thriller, sure, but at what cost?

Ethan and Tricia end up trapped in a snow-storm and have to spend the night in the house that they originally went to meaning to visit it with their real estate agent. The real estate agent is nowhere to be seen, the phones get no reception, it is the typical trapped in a house thriller set up.

Now, the set up I didn't mind, but I did not care for the characters, the plot twists, whenever they came up, were each more disappointing than the previous ones, overall not a good book. I could not wait to be done with it.

what did I just read. absolutely ridiculous. although i love a trashy thriller this was not good enough to get that title.

if you love really bad books then you are the sole audience 😂
