This is a tense fight and hope for survival story that kept me glued to the book! So well written and terrifying because it makes you realize this could happen to anyone. You don't know how to survive when you're in the situation because it's not a cut and dry, here's what you do if... I really enjoyed it!

⚠️ CW: stalking, abduction, drug abuse, human trafficking, murder and mentions of sexual assault and rape ⚠️ If you're looking for a read that will really get your heart racing with fear then you need to read this book! A rural country road. No cell signal for miles. A terrifying game of cat-and-mouse. By the time Laura and Olivia notice the headlights tailing them through the hills, it’s too late. What seems, at first, like a case of road rage quickly unfolds into a heart pounding chase, and a battle for survival. Who are the men in the truck? What do they want? And can Laura and Olivia outrun, and outsmart, them long enough to call for help, even if it means taking their chances in the hills on foot? As their situation grows more perilous, the girls realize that the real terror has only just begun. But flight won’t save them from their pursuers. If they’re going to make it home alive, they'll have to fight. This book was such a fast paced, terror inducing read and it really gives you that uneasy and eerie feeling that you get when you first think you're being followed, before it unfolds into a wildly thrilling and twisty book that I just couldn't put down. I loved how the intensity and that feeling of having no way out ramped up with each chapter. It is truly so well written from the emotions it conjures to the short chapters that really build the suspenseful 'life or death' feeling. Overall, I highly recommend this read and I can't wait to read more by this author.

Can I just say the cover of this fit the thriller vibe of the book so well.  This was such an entertaining book, I read it in one day.  It was tense pretty early on where a drive to a college party bonfire turns into a bit of a run for their life moment on a rural road.

There was a lot more backstory to this once the ending was revealed why the people were after them.  The seemingly random case of road rage turns out to be so much more.

Check trigger warnings before starting this book!!! This book is everything that a woman would deem as her worst nightmare. Because the entire story happens in one night and they can’t introduce new characters, the person following the girls is pretty easy to figure out. This book was absolutely terrifying and the plot twists of why the girls were being followed left me very uneasy.

This was a quick and entertaining read. I wouldn't call this book spectacular, and I wouldn't read it again.
