Publisher Description
Charlie Jordan is being driven across the country by a man she's convinced is a serial killer.
There's a so-called Campus Killer currently ravaging her college; they've tied up and stabbed multiple students over the past year, and they've just struck again.
Behind the wheel is Josh Baxter, a stranger she met through the college ride-share board. But Josh doesn't seem to be worried about the idea of a murderer on the loose.
And as they travel an empty, twisty highway in the dead of night, Charlie begins to realise there's a reason why this stranger isn't anxious: he knows exactly who the Campus Killer is. Him.
And that means she could end up being his next victim.
Charlie has nowhere to run and no way to call for help. Trapped in a terrifying game of cat and mouse, the only way to win is to somehow manage to survive the night . . .

Customer Reviews
Far fetched and really rather stupid
*insert eye roll emoji*
Underwhelming
I LOVED Riley Sager’s other books Home Before Dark, Lock Every Door and Last Time I Lied and they captivated me such that I couldn’t put them down!
I was hoping this book would be as good.
Unfortunately, like his debut Final Girls for me, this book just did not live up to my expectations.
I found the plot boring instead of captivating. Instead of having that “edge of your seat” feeling wanting to know how it ends, I found the book dragged on. It was underwhelming. Even the climax at the end didn’t capture my attention and I skimmed through it to arrive at an ending I predicted 100 pages earlier.
The author dabbled with gaslighting and an unreliable narrator which could have been a recipe for intrigue but instead the efforts fell flat and were not exciting. There were plot holes and I found the plot unbelievable. Rather than being shocked and excited I just found the plot boring!! I was counting down the pages until it was over and I now wish I didn’t bother wasting my time unfortunately.
I will recommend to my friends that they do NOT read this book. If you like thrillers with supernatural themes then read Home Before Dark by the same author instead.
