Don't Turn Around
Midnight. Cait Monaghan and Rebecca McRae are on a desolate road that slices through the New Mexican desert. They've never met before tonight. Both have secrets to protect. Both of their lives are in danger.
When a truck pulls up fast behind them, they assume it's punk teenagers or run-of-the-mill road rage, but it soon becomes clear that whoever is driving the truck is hunting them for sport—and they are out to draw blood.
As the miles unspool and the dangers mount, the pasts they've worked so hard to keep buried have come back to haunt them. Someone wants one of them dead. But which one? And given the lives the two women have been leading, that someone could be almost anyone.
If Cait and Rebecca are going to survive, they'll have to learn to trust one another—and themselves. But trust is a costly business, and they’ve both paid the price before.
I really couldn't put this book down. The tension of the journey really came through. It brought back memories of Duel!
Cait and aspiring writer is running from a story she published on a little known website, but the story was about someone quite well known, and it backfires on her. The website is hacked and her identity is out there.
Rebecca, is the wife of a future congressman, whose political life is much more important than his wife's health and well being.
They are heading from Lubbock, Texas to Albuquerque, New Mexico a journey of around 6 hours. Actually reading the book you felt it was a lot longer than that.
There were a few twists and turns and a sub plot that I didn't find as believable as the rest of the story.
I found the handling of a difficult subject was done sensitively. Unless you have been there you don't know how you would react.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for my ARC in return for an honest review.
