This book was a trip! I finished it in just under two days; even at 299 pages, it was a relatively quick read. This was likely because the entire story takes place within a single car ride. Glimpses into Mira's stalkerish letters, certain missing car items, and overall weird behavior of the passengers just upped the thrill factor that much more! I did guess a few of the reveals and the ultimate culprit pretty early on but enjoyed the trip nonetheless. I can't even imagine getting into a car with a single stranger, let alone five - during a snow storm, no less! This was one wild and entertaining ride! I enjoyed it with my iced coffee, as I couldn't very well cozy up in the non-existent AZ snow!

Thank you to the Sourcebooks Early Reads program for my free copy. I have voluntarily and honestly read and reviewed this title, rating it 3.5 stars.

Five Total Strangers by Natalie D. Richards was a fast-paced and engaging page-turner that had me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen next.

With all the flights to Pittsburgh canceled, Mira accepts a ride home with four other total strangers. On the drive though, it seems that everything that could go wrong though does. And it seems to be due to more than just the blizzard, one of the passengers is intentionally sabotaging the trip. Will Mira make it back home for Christmas safely or will nefarious plans get in the way?

Overall, I think Richards did a great job at making you wonder which of the suspects was the actual villain. There were a lot of twists and turns that made every character the number one suspect at some point in the story.

Thank you to the publisher the gifted copy through the Sourcebooks Early Reads program.

Awesome storyline again from Natalie D. Richards! The way she spins in and out of suspects vs. victims... making everyone seem guilty. way to take us on a roller coaster of fun!

Psychologically damaging, to say the least. The storyline was nicely compiled and the diverse characters made it an enjoyable experience. That being said, you'll probably guess who the bad guy is almost immediately.
