Really fast-paced, tense thriller! There hasn’t been many thrillers that have made me feel tense while reading but I definitely was anxious reading this one!

Crazy from start to finish. Super fast paced, finished in one sitting. Gets a little dark so pay attention to trigger warnings.

Can I just say the cover of this fit the thriller vibe of the book so well.  This was such an entertaining book, I read it in one day.  It was tense pretty early on where a drive to a college party bonfire turns into a bit of a run for their life moment on a rural road.

There was a lot more backstory to this once the ending was revealed why the people were after them.  The seemingly random case of road rage turns out to be so much more.

Honestly, I gave this a 4 because I enjoyed it as a guilty pleasure read. It’s not particularly well written, but the plot is super engaging and felt like a slasher movie. It is relatively predictable, but I’d say a fun read nonetheless.

I'm usually not a thriller fan, but someone recommended it to me, so I decided to give it a go.
It's super short, like read in one sitting short, but it's still an okay book. I don't really know what to say because the only thriller I love is the movie Gone Girl (2014), so I'm not one to speak on it. The ending was fine, the characters were fine. The setting was kind of funny to me just because I used to live near some of the places they brought up, so it was just kinda weird to keep reading about it. 
If you can't do incorrect spelling/grammar I probably would say skip this one. 


Crying score: nah
