Dark Roads by Chevy Stevens Book Review

I was fortunate enough to have won this ARE via Goodreads. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Stevens.

This tale is told in two voices, one of Hailey and one of Beth. It starts out with Hailey’s story and having to move in with her aunt and uncle along with her small cousin through no fault of her own. Her aunt being Lana and her uncle being Vaughn, as the townspeople call him. Vaughn also happens to be a police officer. Hailey has her own story to tell. Jonny has been Hailey’s friend since grade school. With Hailey, Jonny is able to be himself and not the tough guy everyone makes him out to be. (If you’ve been watching Ms. Stevens’s posts, you’ll see she posted pictures of what she thinks Jonny looks like – he’s pretty cute!) Jonny is also Hailey’s self-appointed protector. Enter Amber. Exit Amber. Enter Beth who is Amber’s sister and comes to Cold Creek to find out what happened to Amber. Beth has her own story to tell. Through no fault of their own, Hailey and Beth cross paths leading to the truth of what happened to Amber. What really ties this story together is Wolf … he is one smart dog!

There is a certain depth to this story. I found this to be an entertaining read with the way Ms. Stevens was able to bring all of the underlying stories together. You have a bad cop and a good cop and some murders. A bit of romance. You won’t believe who the “bad guy” is. I am quite certain I’ll be reading more from Ms. Stevens in the future.
