By Chevy Stevens

Book Overview

"Chevy Stevens is a brilliant and unique talent and Dark Roads is an instant classic. My hat's off to her." -- C. J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Long Range

My favorite Chevy Stevens book since Still Missing...The suspense builds with every page, and the ending is a complete shocker.--Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Wife Between Us

Aptly named, Dark Roads is deep, dark, and unsettling. From the opening page, it's clear you're in the hands of a master storyteller...With brilliant characterizations, tight plotting, and a setting bound to give you chills, this is Stevens's finest book to date. A tour de force mystery you do not want to miss.--J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of Her Dark Lies

Chevy Stevens is back and better than ever...Dark Roads is a chilling, pulse-pounding thriller that also tugs at the heartstrings. It's everything you've come to love from a master of the psych thriller genre!-- Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Mrs.

The Cold Creek Highway stretches close to five hundred miles through British Columbia's rugged wilderness to the west coast. Isolated and vast, it has become a prime hunting ground for predators. For decades, young women traveling the road have gone missing. Motorists and hitchhikers, those passing through or living in one of the small towns scattered along the region, have fallen prey time and again. And no killer or abductor who has stalked the highway has ever been brought to justice.

Hailey McBride calls Cold Creek home. Her father taught her to respect nature, how to live and survive off the land, and to never travel the highway alone. Now he's gone, leaving her a teenage orphan in the care of her aunt whose police officer husband uses his badge as a means to bully and control Hailey. Overwhelmed by grief and forbidden to work, socialize, or date, Hailey vanishes into the mountainous terrain, hoping everyone will believe she's left town. Rumors spread that she was taken by the highway killer--who's claimed another victim over the summer.

One year later, Beth Chevalier arrives in Cold Creek, where her sister Amber lived--and where she was murdered. Estranged from her parents and seeking closure, Beth takes a waitressing job at the local diner, just as Amber did, desperate to understand what happened to her and why. But Beth's search for answers puts a target on her back--and threatens to reveal the truth behind Hailey's disappearance...

Customer Reviews

Never disappointed

Chevy has such a way with writing. The way she can twist a story. This book is no different. Everytime I think I know what's going to happen, I'm wrong. If you love Lisa Jewell, and John Hart. You'll love Steven's too

Great Book

Loved this book, I love Chevy Stevens books, she writes in a way I can’t explain, she has you hooked just from the start and find yourself still reading the book. Dark Roads was a masterpiece in disguise, beautifully written with a few twists. If you liked this book I highly recommend reading her other books That Night, Those Girls and Still Missing.

Couldn't put it down!

This is such a great story with all kinds of twists and turns and surprises. From the 1st page to the last, I was entertained. The characters are so interesting and you get drawn into their stories. I like books like that where I feel like I know the people and I feel like I'm there. Have fun reading this one, but it does go fast.

Really Good

I really enjoyed this read.

Best Writer I have Ever Read

Best writer I have ever read. I wish she would write more. You can not put them down, They keep you guessing until the end. The end never ends for you think it will. I recommend Chevy Stevens to everyone.

Thriller

This is a Dark Psychological Thriller. This book had a lot of suspense through this book, and the characters came to life has you where reading. You will want to save some of the characters, but you also will also want to kill some of the characters. That is part of the reason I loved this book is the characters and the suspense. This book also kept me guessing what was really happening, and I did not guess who was really behind the killings. I was also shocked when the reveal of who did the killings. The only problem I had with this book was when part one ended and part two started I felt a little lost and it took me a minute to get back into the story again. Other then that I loved this book, I loved the beginning and the ending so much. The ending had suspense, big reveal, and action everything I want in a thrillers ending. Great Read.
