Kristine Rush will have to dig deep within herself if she
is to survive this trip....
Kristine and her fiancé, Dr. Daniel Hawthorne, have a
holiday weekend planned with Daniel's mother. They stop
at a deserted rest area for Kristine to change clothes
when everything goes wrong. Now, Kristine finds herself
bloodied and alone, with the mysterious Malthus taunting
her about Daniel's potential death if she doesn't follow
his every demand. Who is Malthus and what does he want
from Kristine?
Wow! SWERVE is the sort of book that grabs you by the
throat and forces you to appreciate each and every breath
as the intensity is overwhelming! I had to repeatedly put
SWERVE down- only for a few minutes, mind you, as I had
to know what happened next- just to catch my breath. It
took every ounce of my willpower not to peek at the
ending as SWERVE had me on pins and needles, both
desperately wanting to know and yet fearing the ending.
Kristine is forced to make choices that seem untenable
and yet she continues to survive even as the stakes are
raised higher and higher. Vicki Pettersson makes the
reader feel each and every choice Kristine makes, as her
reactions become more and more understandable as we learn
about her history. I screamed, I cried, and yes I
cheered with Kristine every single step of the way as she
faces a monster born of the worst nightmares.
And oh the setting... the heat of the Mojave desert is
perfect for SWERVE! Vicki Pettersson had me sweating
buckets, right along with Kristine, as I wondered just
where Malthus would send her next. The eeriness and
isolation of the desert enhances the fear factor and
showcases just how alone Kristine is in her nightmare
scenario.
Vicki Pettersson takes readers on an intense and edgy
ride into the darkness that exists within one's one
heart. SWERVE is a heart-pounding, exhilarating thriller
that begs to be read in one sitting. SWERVE is dark,
disturbing, and even a bit grisly at times but it is also
one of the most compelling books I've ever read. If you
like high intensity thrillers like The Girl on a Train
and Gone Girl with a bit of Stephen King and Dean Koontz
thrown in, then don't miss out on SWERVE!
In the electrifying tradition of Dean Koontz and Gillian
Flynn comes the first riveting psychological thriller from
the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling
author!
It’s high summer in the Mojave Desert, and Kristine Rush
and
her fiancé, Daniel, are en route from Las Vegas to Lake
Arrowhead, California, for the July Fourth holiday
weekend.
But when Daniel is abducted from a desolate rest stop,
Kristine is forced to choose: return home unharmed, but
never to see her fiancé again, or plunge forward into the
searing desert to find him…where a killer lies in wait.
One road. One woman. One killer.
Sprinting against the clock, and uncertain if danger lies
ahead or behind, Kristine must blaze an epic path through
the gaudy flash of roadside casinos, abandoned highway
stops, and a landscape rife with horrors never before
imagined. Desperate to save her doomed husband-to-be,
Kristine must summon long forgotten resources if she’s to
go
head-to-head against this unpredictable killer. And she’d
better hurry. Because she only has twenty-four hours…to
make
one hell of a trip.
