The Hitchhikers by Chevy Stevens #Mystery @chevystevens #Review @StMartinsPress

 The open road beckons.

A chance for them to reconnect.

Then they make a fatal mistake.

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

They’ve planned the trip perfectly, taken care of every detail. Then they meet two young hitchhikers down on their luck 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 trapped, 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 well as hold you in suspense. The author of the classic thrillers STILL MISSING and THOSE GIRLS has delivered her next breathtaking novel.

I read this book pretty fast — partly because I couldn’t put it down, and partly because I wanted to get through the terrifying parts before my imagination got the best of me. At several points, I actually had to pause and catch my breath, but that’s what made it so captivating. The author does an incredible job building suspense while making the characters feel real, especially Simon. His development was so well-written that I found myself completely invested in what happened to him.

What really impressed me was how quickly the story took off — the “all hell breaks loose” moment hits early, and by about 20% in, you already know you’re in for a wild, chaotic ride that doesn’t slow down. The pacing was perfect, keeping me hooked from the first page all the way to the end.

From page one, it grabbed me and never let go. If you’re looking for something intense, fast-paced, and filled with unforgettable moments, this is a must-read.
