![]() The scene is set in the 90s which makes for some nostalgic throwbacks. It kept me on the edge of my seat with tension, intense emotion, and danger around every turn. Its a thrilling story told from a possibly unreliable POV. To Riley Sager’s credit, I couldn’t put it down. The premise of a girl getting into a car with a stranger and things going wrong is nothing new and Sager presents it with a road trip story that is filled with twisted, unbelievable characters. This book takes place in the 1990’s, when pay phones were the only way to check in with someone or call for help. Riley Sagers terrific heroine Charlie Jordan starts this thriller on the ride of her life and the action accelerates on every page, through twists and turns into the darkness. Could he be the campus killer or is her mistrust a figment of her movie-fueled imagination? As their ride ensues, Charlie begins to doubt the sincerity of the man. Charlie can’t get over Maddy’s death and decides to leave campus before Thanksgiving accepting a ride from a male stranger who she meets at the ride-share board. Maddy has been killed by the “Campus Killer.” A serial killer who has killed three times before. But, one horrific night changes everything. ![]() At college, Charlie becomes best friends with Maddy. When Charlie’s parents are killed in a car accident, she turns to movies as a way of escaping real life. Riley Sager weaves a masterful tale of psychological suspense. ![]()
