“Meet my friends, the fellow
castaways from Flight 3694.”
One blizzard. One ride. Six
hours. Five strangers.
Mira would do whatever it took
to get home to her mom on Christmas, even if that meant hitching a ride with
strangers. This premise sounded pretty interesting and so far, it was easy to
understand. The details, however, got a little muddled when they hit that first
snag in the road. The road became kind of a drudgery at this point and it
didn’t really get much better. I honestly thought it would’ve been more
suspenseful and exciting, but this was mild at best. The read was pretty good,
but I’ve honestly read better. An okay read, but I expected more.

A woman on the run known as
The Hunted—Claudia. She knew he was looking for her and that he was going to
kill her. The only chance she had of survival, of living again, was for someone
to take her place. What luck that she found a dead ringer—a look-alike that
could be her twin.
A botched hit puts everyone on
high alert. Two girls with a hit on their heads, but which one will it be?
The premise here was fairly
interesting and the read was pretty easy, but it wasn’t as exciting as I
thought it would be. For a long time, all Claudia did was watch her look-alike.
The characters, even the hitman cousin, seemed to be endearing in some way, and
you honestly didn’t know who to root for. It was an interesting story that was
mildly amusing. A decent read.

The first part is all about a
car accident that happened in 1965. The second part is set in the present time
with a bunch of high school kids. Part 2 takes a while to drum up interest and
set the story. All these kids ever did was play jokes on each other. This one
wasn’t too great. First of all, there were too many characters and I failed to
see any connection between Part 1 and 2. I just didn’t like it.
