Dark Roads (Author Highlight)
I will never forget the first novel I read by Chevy Stevens. I came across Still Missing at my local library in 2010 and devoured every page, reading by the light of my cell phone on a long bus ride home from some sporting event. The fucked up storyline is one that has stayed withContinue reading “Dark Roads (Author Highlight)”

It has been seven years and I still think about this book. Seriously. It was that memorable for me. When I discovered Powell’s had aContinue reading “The Vanishing”
