Synopsis

“Chevy Stevens is a brilliant and unique talent and Dark Roads is an instant classic. My hat’s off to her.” — C. J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Long Range

"Dark Roads is an entertaining thriller whether you read it or listen to it!" - Toronto.com

The Cold Creek Highway stretches close to five hundred miles through British Columbia’s rugged wilderness to the west coast. Isolated and vast, it has become a prime hunting ground for predators. For decades, young women traveling the road have gone missing. Motorists and hitchhikers, those passing through or living in one of the small towns scattered along the region, have fallen prey time and again. And no killer or abductor who has stalked the highway has ever been brought to justice.

Hailey McBride calls Cold Creek home. Her father taught her to respect nature, how to live and survive off the land, and to never travel the highway alone. Now he’s gone, leaving her a teenage orphan in the care of her aunt whose police officer husband uses his badge as a means to bully and control Hailey. Overwhelmed by grief and forbidden to work, socialize, or date, Hailey vanishes into the mountainous terrain, hoping everyone will believe she’s left town. Rumors spread that she was taken by the highway killer—who’s claimed another victim over the summer.

One year later, Beth Chevalier arrives in Cold Creek, where her sister Amber lived—and where she was murdered. Estranged from her parents and seeking closure, Beth takes a waitressing job at the local diner, just as Amber did, desperate to understand what happened to her and why. But Beth’s search for answers puts a target on her back—and threatens to reveal the truth behind Hailey’s disappearance…

"Dark Roads is a chilling, pulse-pounding thriller that also tugs at the heartstrings. It's everything you've come to love from a master of the psych thriller genre!" -- Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Mrs.

"My favorite Chevy Stevens book since Still Missing. Stevens reliably creates complex, resilient female characters, and Hailey and Beth - whose lives collide in Dark Roads - are utterly compelling. The suspense builds with every page, and the ending is a complete shocker." -- Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Wife Between Us

Goodreads review by Chevy on April 18, 2021

This was the hardest book I've ever written and the one I am most proud of because it took me the longest to find. Plus, I love Wolf, and if there is ever a movie made, I can't wait to meet him in real life. Paws crossed.......more

Goodreads review by Meredith (Trying to catch up!) on July 12, 2021

Unpopular Opinion Below I thought Dark Roads was going to be a dark, psychological thriller about a serial killer. While there are some thriller-like moments, this book missed the mark. It has a YA feel, with some intense and suspenseful moments mixed in. Divided into three parts, part one focuses o......more

Goodreads review by Nilufer on November 04, 2024

Whoa! Ms. Stevens did it again! I’m an emotional mess! This is a foreboding, dark, depressing, claustrophobic, and disturbing story narrated by two unforgettable, traumatized, and struggling young girls. Some stories leave a mark on your soul, and this is definitely one of them. The prologue and epilo......more

Goodreads review by Susan's Reviews on June 02, 2023

Right from that intriguing prologue (Yikes! Ghosts!) to the epilogue (Yikes Again! More ghosts!) - I was hooked! This story should more than persuade everyone not to hitchhike, especially out on remote country roads! This is a very well-written thriller: great world and character building. Hailey, Amb......more
