Jumia Books THE CRASH Danger lies at the end of the road... by FREIDA McFADDEN

"The Crash" by Freida McFadden is a psychological thriller centered on Tegan Werner, a 23-year-old woman who is eight months pregnant and struggling with a difficult life situation. After a one-night stand with a wealthy real estate mogul, Simon Lamar, she is left trying to manage her pregnancy alone. Simon offers her a large sum of money through a non-disclosure agreement to keep quiet about their encounter, which is complicated by the fact that he drugged and raped her.

Tegan decides to visit her brother but drives into a blizzard, crashes her car, and is trapped with a broken ankle in rural Maine. She is rescued by a couple, Hank and Polly Thompson, who offer her shelter in their isolated cabin. However, Tegan soon realizes that her refuge is not safe. The couple and their neighbors hold dark secrets, and Tegan becomes trapped and vulnerable, even as her condition worsens with infection and injury. The story is told from multiple perspectives, including both Tegan and Polly, who have opposing and unreliable views on the events unfolding.

The narrative explores themes of survival, motherhood, danger, and deception as Tegan fights to protect herself and her unborn child while uncovering the truth behind the crash and the intentions of those around her.
