A young couple find themselves haunted by a string of gruesome murders committed along an old deserted road in this terrifying new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Cold Cases.
July 1995. April and Eddie have taken a wrong turn. They’re looking for the small resort town where they plan to spend their honeymoon. When they spot what appears to a lone hitchhiker along the deserted road, they stop to help. But not long after the hitchiker gets into their car, they see the blood seeping from her jacket and a truck barreling down Atticus Line after them.
When the hitchhiker dies at the local hospital, April and Eddie find themselves in the crosshairs of the Coldlake Falls police. Unexplained murders have been happening along Atticus Line for years and the cops finally have two witnesses who easily become their only suspects. As April and Eddie start to dig into the history of the town and that horrible stretch of road to clear their names, they soon learn that there is something supernatural at work, something that could not only tear the town and its dark secrets apart, but take April and Eddie down with it all.

This is my second Simone St James book and I have to admit, she does keep me reading. I feel like this book was fast paced from the very beginning and it's probably why I ended up mostly enjoying it.
There were a lot of small repetitions in here such as how hot it is and the sound that her flip flops make but it's easy to over look.
The paranormal scenes are always chilling and give you a thrill.
There's a review that said it well and it mentioned that this book doesn't quite scratch the itch and that's what it felt like for me.
Overall entertaining.
I don't think this book is for me. I didn't expect so much crime, as in following a police investigation and amateur detectives trying to solve a case. There were some creepy and unsettling parts but I wish it committed to either Supernatural or Crime. Probably my least favorite of her books.
I was a little disappointed in the pace of this because the title implies a very fast-paced thriller, but it is more of a cozy small town mystery. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this one.
I will say: Simone St. James is a very predictable writer, but so long as you don't read all of her books in a short time period you will enjoy her work.
