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. Review: Almost 2 Stars! - Wow! I almost gave this book a BAD review! In all honesty, the first half of the book turned me off. I just can't deal with dysfunction. I know that when we are young, we can also be quite dumb, and make horrible decisions. I've known a lot of dysfunctional women in my life, and that is why I found myself turned off by the lead protagonist. In fact, I had to set the book down and didn't open it back up for about a month. The only reason that I returned to it, was because I was a little over halfway through it already, and I had challenged myself this January to read 100 books by the end of the year. I was so close to adding this one to my list of finished books. Anyway, I am now glad that I returned to it! That I didn't fully give up on it! What I loved most and astounds me so much about this author, is how she able to create so many hooks early on in the story that are going to very neatly engage loops that will unfold in time. It is amazing to me how she makes everything fall into place so neatly and beautifully, piece by piece, as time moves on. I loved the momentum that the book carried towards the end. I was reading the last part at work and couldn't stop. I kept turning pages and I even isolated myself so that I wouldn't be bothered. I couldn't believe that I had almost given up on this book! I ended up liking it very much! I can't say anything about the story, itself, for fear of giving too much away. I will only say that in many ways, it reminded me of Stephen King's, Misery. I loved the tension, the tightness in my stomach when I feared what might happen next, and how what I imagined would happen, didn't. In fact, the currents suddenly turned in the very OPPOSITE direction than what I'd imagined! The ending was actually, brilliant! This is my third McFadden book! I am certainly going to continue with more! Enjoy, my friends. Review: Disturbing, slow burn, that makes you reconsider why people do what they do - Freida McFadden’s latest novel, The Crash, centers around protagonist Tegan Werner, a young pregnant woman who, you guessed it, crashes her car during a blizzard while driving to see her brother. Pinned inside with a broken ankle, Tegan is rescued by a man named Hank who takes her to his rural home. There, she meets his wife, Polly, a former nurse eager to look after Tegan while they wait out the storm. But, like all of McFadden’s books, something isn’t right. Tegan needs to go to the hospital, and Polly promises she’ll take her after the storm, as soon as the roads clear. In the meantime, Tegan is trapped in a stranger’s basement, unable to walk and without a phone. It’s not long before she wonders if this couple has her best intentions in mind. While some readers have compared this book to an older, well-known story of an injured author trapped by a crazy fan, this not the case. This is its own story and is worth taking the time to read. It grabs your attention right from the beginning and draws you in further with each chapter. But that’s not to say it doesn’t have its challenges. For example, the pace is quick and easy, but the story itself unfolds slowly. This can be maddening for those of us who like to get to the action, especially when there’s so much inaction taking place. (i.e., If you’re one who likes to have that resolution right away, this may not be for you.) It also can be a bit repetitive, reminding us several times of characters’ attributes and situations. However, considering the lack of action taking place, these reminders keep our perspectives in line with those of the characters as well as with the plot. The book is presented with alternating points of view which gives us the opportunity to see a more holistic picture, but in this case, knowing more also adds to the tension. We primarily hear from Tegan and from Polly, who each make poor decisions mostly due to their own desperation to change their current situations. Through them, and through other characters, McFadden explores when actions truly are justified and when we’re simply making excuses to not do the right thing. We see this a lot in her books, and you may not be a fan of this one if you’re not comfortable in the gray area, as the lines of good and bad are often blurred. McFadden also examines our sense of judgement, especially when considering how Tegan and Polly often misjudge each other and others. This is a recurring theme we see throughout the book. Polly judges Tegan. Tegan judges Polly. They both assume things about Hank as well as other peripheral characters in the book. Only the reader knows, for most characters, who is correct or incorrect about whom. But even then, it’s hard not to have some sense of empathy, for the, um, “misguided” characters. This can be frustrating, especially with Polly’s conflict between what she wants and what she does, Hank’s inability or refusal to step up, and Tegan’s own collision between naivety and reality. Then there are the other characters, the ones we see before and after that crash. Unlike Polly and Tegan, we are given very little or just enough information about them. Nevertheless, it’s all critical so pay attention. While the book focuses on Tegan and Polly, the other characters, including her brother, the baby’s father and his associate are all very important. In classic McFadden style, there’s a twist at the end, actually there’s more than one twist, and I have mixed feelings about them. While you may predict one or two of them, I’m pretty sure one will catch you by surprise. It felt out of place because there were very few clues leading up to it, but at the same time it definitely gave me a shock, and who doesn’t love that? Overall, I enjoyed this book. While I couldn’t stand the tension or the inaccuracies of what each character thought about the other, I know that’s also what kept me emotionally invested and motivated to see the book through. I finished it feeling good but also as if I’ve compromised my own morals. There’s a guilt from that satisfaction, but it was worth it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,829 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #56 in Psychological Thrillers (Books) #70 in Kidnapping Thrillers #128 in Suspense Thrillers | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 173,014 Reviews | ## Images ![The Crash - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IM6vEPvLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost 2 Stars! *by O***E on April 22, 2026* Wow!

It’s long and drawn out and then it has a good twist at the end which brought the rating up slightly. This book made me more anxious and annoyed then captivated & interested. I did skim many chapters bc it was painful to read. Not that the writing is bad. It was the characters and their utter naivety and stupidity. I personally don’t handle stupid very well. The story starts good. There is a 8 month pregnant young woman Teagan (love her name) who is 23 years old. She finds herself pregnant and alone living in a dingy studio apartment working at a grocery store trying to make ends meet. I won’t spoil how she finds herself in the situation she’s in. She finds out something terrible happened and decides she’s going to drive 2 hours away to stay with her only living relative - her brother -for a few days. He reminds her a snow storm is coming, that she must leave early to avoid it. But the little ding Dong decides to work an extra shift then leaves for her brothers place. Well, it’s quite obvious that she gets herself into a terrible predicament by taking a back roads where she crashes her vehicle and finds herself stuck with no cell service. 23 is such a naive age really. Anyway, she gets help from a large man….and she thinks her and her baby are going to be saved. But are they???? If you are a reader who enjoys books about captivity, desperation and being rescued, this book is for you. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Crash - Ward D: A gripping psychological thriller - The Housemaid's Wedding: A Short Story --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/641381674-the-crash](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/641381674-the-crash) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
