Below by Laurel Hightower

 

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO HELP A STRANGER?

While driving through the mountains of West Virginia during a late-night snowstorm, a recently divorced woman experiences bizarre electrical problems, leaving her with little choice but to place her trust with a charismatic truck driver. But when an unexplainable creature with haunting red eyes gets between them, she is forced to make one of the toughest decisions of her life. Will she abandon the stranger who kept her safe—or will she climb down below, where reality has shapeshifted into a living nightmare?
 






Addy is taking a 500 mile road trip on her own when she ends up on a highway to hell that will test her sanity and her will to live.

"It came out of nowhere."

She is stranded on a dark stretch of road that is known for it's weird happenings and there's no help in sight. Addy has a history of not trusting her own judgement, letting her ex-husband talk over her, talk down to her, and decide for her. Now she only has herself to rely on.

This is my first time reading this author, and I was only about 10 pages in when I jumped online to order her previous book because her writing is exquisite. The scares are many, the pace is breathtaking, and at 106 pages I could have easily finished it in one sitting except for the fact that I wanted to savor it, and that just maybe there were times I was afraid to turn the page.
Below is terrifying, freaky, and yet somehow uplifting. Highly recommended to all horror fans.

5 out of 5 Stars
