Kyle Lybeck's Literary Lair
Addy is on her way through the mountains of West Virginia to meet up with friends, when her car suddenly has electrical issues. It forces her to stop off at a parking lot to check her car, as an approaching snowstorm is bearing down on the area. Worried that she'll be stuck, Addy wants nothing more than to be on her way. A trucker stops by to make sure she's okay, then offers to go ahead of her and guide the road for them both. Hesitantly, Addy agrees, and they are on their way. The next thing they know, the trucker is off the road and down a cliff, Addy is seeing things in the road that may or may not even be there, and now she has to decide whether to escape on her own, or risk her own life to get down to the stranger who only tried to help her, where everything is treacherous, and nothing is as it seems.

This novella by Laurel Hightower starts out strong, gets you really engaged, then takes some odd twists and turns between what could be real or not real, possible creatures in the snow, and subsequent findings that could all be made up, and Addy only hopes that they are. In the end, it brought you back in strong, with some policeman that made you want to reach through the page and strangle for their grating character. Overall, I wish it would have stayed a little stronger throughout, and not dipped as many times as it did into talk and plotlines that weren't crucial to the suspense that started out strong and really grabbed me. I'm giving this one a B- in my book.
