The Hitchhikers

A Novel

By: Chevy Stevens

Narrated by: Lindsey Dorcus, Moniqua Plante

Chevy Stevens, the beloved New York Times bestselling author of Still Missing and Those Girls, returns with her most breathtaking thriller yet.

With its relentless pace and unforgettable twists, The Hitchhikers delivers what bestselling author Karin Slaughter calls “a frightening and viscerally chilling road-trip-gone-wrong story.”

Desperation is a dark road…

It’s the summer of 1976. Alice and Tom set out on the remote Canadian highways in their new RV, hoping to heal after a devastating tragedy.

They’ve planned the trip perfectly, every detail accounted for. Then they meet two young hitchhikers and offer them a ride. But Simon and Jenny aren’t what they seem. They’ve left a trail of blood, destruction, and madness behind them.

Now Alice and Tom are prisoners in a deadly game with nowhere to turn. As the tension builds, the lines blur, and the question becomes:

In whose heart does evil truly lie? What secrets are Jenny and Simon hiding? And who will live another day?

A chilling, twist-laden ride to the final page, The Hitchhikers is that rare novel that will break your heart as it holds you in suspense.

Couldn't enjoy

Horrible Narrarating. I love Chevy novels. My favorite is Still Missing. This one I couldn't past Chapter 7 due to the narrative.

So-So

Chevy Stevens is my favorite author, however this isn't her best work. But, I urge those of you who weren't familiar before this one to not give up on her! her other books are far more captivating and intriguing. This book felt as though it was stuck on repeat, not to mention the predictability from the absolute beginning. The only reason I finished it at all was to see if I was right and... Sadly, I was. It could've been cut into a third and been the same story. There were no aha moments like I'm used to reading from her, and the story line of Simon was left unfinished. Overall I don't really recommend this book but I do recommend Chevy Stevens as an author.

superb
