White Line Fever

I had such high hopes for this book. I enjoyed the author’s previous book Black Tide, and thought that White Line Fever would be a slam dunk for me. It has such an intriguing premise – friends headed to a weekend getaway decide to take a shortcut. A shortcut that will take them on County Road 951 which is infamously known as The Devil’s Driveway. From the name alone, I knew something sinister was going to happen! I was all in for that! But sadly, this one just did not work for me.

I was hoping to be horrified, scared, creeped out, and left fearing dark, dark roads. This book just failed to deliver for me. Were my hopes too high? Was I hoping for more as the friends took this dark ride down memory lane where the traumas of their past awaited them? Perhaps.

Even learning more as the book traveled through the present and gave glimpses back in time, just wasn’t enough to garner a higher rating from me. The writing was descriptive and the characters were well drawn, but the story just wasn’t for me. Others are enjoying this book more than I did so please read their reviews as well.

Thank you to Tor Publishing Group | Tor Nightfire NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
