Hailey McBride has lived her whole life in the shadows of Cold Creek Highway. The highway has been the source of so much death and pain over the years. Her father taught Hailey to love the land that surrounds them, including Cold Creek Highway. When her father died, it forced Hailey to go live with her aunt and uncle. Hailey doesn't get along with her Uncle Vaughn. He is controlling and creepy and also a police officer. When the next victim to Cold Creek Highway turns out to be somebody, Hailey is dating, she can't take anymore and retreats to the safety of the woods, monitoring Vaughn from afar. But then the sister of her deceased friend shows up in town and Hailey knows that she has to take drastic steps to keep her safe and find an end to the pain. Will she be able to prove that Vaughn is behind all of the trouble on Cold Creek Road before it is too late?


We live fairly close to a rural road known as "Cole Creek Road" and I kept thinking about that road as I read this book. Hailey McBride is a sympathetic main character. Her heart has been repeatedly broken and now she doesn't feel safe with the people who are tasked with taking care of her. I don't blame her for running into the woods until her eighteenth birthday. Vaughn gave me the creeps, too. I also really liked how the author made a key character LGBTQ. I won't tell you who, but that kind of diversity is welcomed. The end wasn't anything shocking or spectacular, but it wrapped the story up nicely. CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS.


Bottom Line - Dark Roads is Chevy Stevens's first step attempt in several years. As a devoted fan, I was glad to see that she hasn't lost her mojo. Dark Roads is a fast-paced thriller that you won't be able to put down.
