Review: The Crash - Freida McFadden - January 2025 Freida McFadden is well known for her fast-paced, twist-filled psychological thrillers, often packed with shocking revelations and morally gray characters. While this book delivers some of those elements, I found it to be a more subdued thriller compared to her usual work. The setup is gripping, but the execution left me wanting more. The story follows Tegan, a heavily pregnant woman fleeing from a past she’d rather leave behind. With nowhere else to go, she sets out to find refuge with her brother, hoping for a fresh start. But fate intervenes when she is caught in a blizzard and stranded in the middle of nowhere. When a seemingly kind couple rescues her, offering her warmth and shelter, she believes she’s been granted a stroke of luck. However, that illusion quickly shatters as she realizes something is very wrong. Her "safe haven" becomes a chilling trap, and her battle for survival—both for herself and her unborn child—be...

Review: Woman on the Edge - Samantha M. Bailey - November 2019 With the sun shining today, it felt like a lovely day to read outside on my porch swing. It felt invigorating as I opened my Libby App and read Samantha M. Bailey's 2019 release "Woman on the Edge". I didn't have a huge expectation, which I think helped me as I enjoyed this book. In the beginning, we meet two women Nikki and Morgan at the train station. Nikki gives Morgan her daughter Quinn and then jumps in front of a train.

The mother Donna told Nikki she had killed her baby and sent notes. As Quinn is born, the notes increase and strange thi...
