These are described in the book as ‘movies in her head’, but are very much a trauma response that Charlie is coming to terms with. Additionally, Charlie suffers from intense visual hallucinations. With no mobile phones, Charlie is truly stranded the moment she gets into the car, so when she starts to realise that Josh might be lying about his identity, she has nowhere to go but onwards. The time setting for this book was a perfect choice.
Survive the night book serial#
Charlie is running away from college, trying to get some space and get home to Ohio so she can recover from the guilt and grief she feels about the loss of her best friend, the most recent victim of a serial killer called the Campus Killer. Survive the Night is a compelling page-turner of a story, a YA thriller that leans into the fear of being trapped with a stranger to create a claustrophobic sort of fear that left me so, so worried for our main character, Charlie. I was hooked to the last page, and even when I finished work I kept listening while I did my chores so that I didn’t have to leave the story until I was finished. I actually listened to the audiobook of this one, which is an experience that I highly recommend. Meaning that she could very well end up as his next victim. Travelling the lengthy journey between university and their final destination, Charlie begins to notice discrepancies in Josh’s story.Īs she begins to plan her escape from the man she is becoming certain is the killer, she starts to suspect that Josh knows exactly what she’s thinking. On the road they share their stories, carefully avoiding the subject dominating the news – the Campus Killer, who’s tied up and stabbed three students in the span of a year, has just struck again.
Maybe.īehind the wheel is Josh Baxter, a stranger Charlie met by the college ride share board, who also has a good reason for leaving university in the middle of term. About the book:Ĭharlie Jordan is being driven across the country by a serial killer.
It has not affected my honest review.Ĭontent Warnings: car accident, grief (parents and close friend), murder, stabbing, suicide, kidnapping, torture. Thanks to Hodder & Stoughton for the eARC of this book.
