Publisher's summary

Mira needs to get home for the holidays - badly. But when an incoming blizzard results in a canceled layover, it looks like she might get stuck at the Philadelphia airport indefinitely.

And then Harper, Mira's glamorous seatmate from her initial flight, comes to the rescue. Harper and her three friends are renting a car, and they can drop Mira off on the way home. But as their trip begins, Mira discovers her fellow travelers aren't friends like she thought - they're total strangers. And every one of them seems to be hiding something dangerous.

Soon, Mira is in a panic. The roads have gone from slippery to terrifying. People's belongings are mysteriously disappearing. Someone in the car is clearly lying...and Mira begins to suspect that one of them is sabotaging the trip. If she wants to make it home alive, she'll need to uncover the truth about these strangers before this nightmare drive turns fatal.

Great Story weak ending though

Would have given 5 stars if not for the ending which felt like it went way too fast. The story and build up were phenomenal and the character interaction was fun. The ending and finale itself was even good but it needed to last longer, it felt like once I was reading it that it was done within 20 minutes. But yeah overall really good book!

Not worth the credit

It started like a promising and compelling story, but ended with nothing. I still don't understand what happened. At least it was short.

Rushed Ending

This book had potential but it was super rushed at the end and felt like the author had to put something random to meet a deadline.

The ending!!!!

The narrator did a great job. The book kept my attention as I wanted to find out what happened next and how it would end. It dragged on a bit and it left us with a few unexplained bits, like the guy in the yellow hat.

The ending was disappointing and that was the let down about the book.

Would have stopped if it wasn't being read to me

The synopsis on the back really drew me in, and I had high hopes this would be a thrilling mystery. However, its largely a story of young adults making a series of bad decisions, trying to backtrack and fix those bad decisions but then giving up and moving on in another bad decision. It also has an anticlimactic ending.
The performance was good and there were some parts of the story near the end where I didn't want to stop listening, but if this wasn't being read to me I would have given up on it a few chapters in. So worth a credit if you have an extra.

Meh

Was just ok. Felt like a lot of build up for it to just come to an abrupt and quick ending.

What a crazy ride!

What a crazy ride. I binged the book. It’s hard to believe most of the book spans one crazy car ride. I've got to hand it to the author for pulling that off well.

I thought the book was better than the narrator was. I think with a different narration I would've given it 3.5-4 stars. I didn't love the ending, but I'm not sure what I would've liked better, so...

I did guess who the antagonist was but only just before the reveal. and I missed a few clues and had a few queens so at the end. All in all I'm happy I purchased/listened to it.

A very dysfunctional road trip

I love “who done-it’s” and this one was twisty. It felt like the story dragged on or that they were driving forever but it was a good story. It took awhile to get used to the narrator.
