July 4th, 2025 continued... So, once Nick found out that Rosalie was spying on bis every move, or at least what she could see from her room with the binoculars from Greta, the woman in Room 202, he told her that he had enough of her and vice versa. She typed on her phone: easiest way to commit suicide
July 4th, 2025 Page 218 out of 274. Welp. Nick, the owner of Baxter Motel, was convicted of murdering Christina Marsh, who occupied Room 201 in his motel for several days. Rosalie, his wife, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, could not move and feel her feet so she sat in a wheelchair next to the window. If she tried to stand up, she would fall. From her room, she could see the rooms in the motel. Rosalie felt she could not stay with Nick.
July 4, 2025 Happy July 4th ya'll. I have started this book and likely will be finishing this book in no time. Freida McFadden is an obsession read for me. I have no regrets when I pick up a book of hers. Ik what I am in for. Anyway, so far, Quinn has escaped from Baxter Motel and killed her husband. ow she is trying to escape the police and avoid getting arrested for the crime she committed. Quinn cannot undo what she did. Claudia is worried.
July 3, 2025 My second book that I ordered did not arrive yet, however, here is my TBR stack. Is this girl out of her mind?! No. I am not apologizing for getting four books from Target today. They were 20% off each. That is a steal. The book by Meghan Quinn was the one I ordered and the others are thrillers. Who is surprised?? Not I haha SUPER DUPER EXCITED TO DIVE INTO THESE 😉😍

pickAnother day, another Freida.
I did guess both twists in this, but it was still an entertaining read.
pickThere weren't many characters and that left the amount of suspects very low. Characters could have been more fleshed out - then it would have been more surprising to get to know about things someone had done or was doing. Like this you weren't attached to them and revelations didn't feel that shocking.
I loved the atmosphere! I always love thrillers with isolated setting and this wasn't an exception. And the hotel was super creepy xD
so-soEeek. A whole mess.
It started off fun &fell apart.
pickA few months ago, I overheard a coworker say to someone that she was exhausted because she stayed up late the previous night reading a book she couldn‘t put down. Naturally, I casually inserted myself into the conversation by asking what book she had been reading. She replied that it was by Freida McFadden. It was time for me to see what all the hype was about.

pickI really enjoyed this one! You‘ll like it if you‘ve read her before. I didn‘t see the twist at the end coming. It was kind of funny with the homages to the Bates Motel & all the Psycho references. It made for a great listen and I liked how the book was told in parts by different narrators. This would make for a fun movie/mini series.
pickI listened to the audiobook. The narrator was good. The storyline was interesting. I enjoyed meeting the characters and getting to know them. I was surprised at some of the twists and had me guessing what the outcome would be. I thought I knew pretty much how it would end but I was wrong.
Sooo….this scholar was reading as I was passing by and I immediately stopped to see what she was reading. Y‘all!! Of course I was happy that 1. She was reading 2. I‘m reading a book by this same author and 3. She and I immediately started sharing our thoughts about the author and her writing style. I love when I get to connect with scholars about books or anything surrounding books.
panI don‘t think I have the words to express how much I disliked this book. I absolutely would have bailed but it was an audiobook and the narrator was decent. Boring characters, way too many separate plot lines. Felt like I was getting smacked with red herrings. Too maybe unreliable narrators and I thought it would never end. Definitely not for me, inwards and upwards. Cheers to the author and her many many fans but we are not meant to be.
pickOh my God! What a fantastic book! It was so good I finished it in one day. This is definitely a book that keeps you on your toes. You think you know what‘s going on, what everyone is like and who the killer is. Nope! There are twists and turns that you won‘t see coming. I highly recommend this book!
“Quinn Alexander has committed an unthinkable crime. To avoid spending her life in prison, she makes a run for it. She leaves behind her home, her job, & her family. When an unexpected snowstorm forces her off the road, Quinn must take refuge at the broken-down, isolated Baxter Motel. The handsome and kindly owner, Nick Baxter, is happy to offer her a cheap room for the night. Unfortunately, the motel isn‘t the quiet, safe haven it seemed to be.”
I read Ward D recently and loved it so, of course, I ordered five more of McFadden's books, as one does. 💁♀️ Here's hoping I like them all just as much! 😅

pickThis wasn‘t my favorite by Freida, but I still liked it. I loved all the ways it came back to Psycho but wasn‘t the same. I felt like she was really playing with the reader to throw you off of what the twist would be and make you think you knew the story. The ending was just okay for me, though and that definitely made me not love it as much as some of her others. Still a quick read and fun!
pickAnother great page turner from Freida!!! Loved the cast of characters and how they came together for a happy ending after all the twists and turns.
pickFreida McFadden is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. She grabs you on page 1 and keeps you interested throughout the story where she throws in that twist at the end. #13 of 2023

pick7/10 This one was a quick read, held my attention, and surprised me in the end; however, I wouldn't say it was remarkable.
pickThis is only the second book by Freida McFadden that I‘ve read and I definitely need to read all of her others! There was twist after twist near the end and I loved it! I definitely wish I would‘ve jumped on the bandwagon sooner but it‘s never too late! I look forward to her other books and the stories she can tell!
Totally fangirling right now! I asked Freida McFadden if I could ask her a couple of questions for bookclub and she answered all of them!
This is a cool article about her and her work as a md! I‘ll post our conversation later!
