This one didn’t work for me. I’ll lower my expectation and press on with Hightower’s Crossroads.

Did not care for the primary character's insecurities and constant need to speak to people in her head. Wish this book left out the need to have that weak character with the obvious intention of building their strength. Felt repetitive, predictable to read, just didn't care for the message. Just wish the character had been better from the getgo - meaning less of the unnecessary melodrama.

IF YOU LIKED THE DESCENT, BELOW IS A MUST-READ!
Addy is on her first solitary road trip since her divorce, traveling through West Virginia under less-than-ideal circumstances to meet friends at a horror convention. She’s a reluctant long distance driver, her vision isn’t great in the dark, it’s starting to snow, and there’s a grinning lunatic in the middle of the road whose presence shakes her to her core.
Enter Mads.
A chance meeting at a truck stop unites Addy with a kind divorcee who happens to have a spare CB radio and is willing to be her guide through the tricky territory known by truckers to cause all manners of havoc, including electrical vehicle difficulties. Addy reluctantly accepts the helping hand, but when Mads’s truck jackknifes over a guard rail, it’s up to her to be the savior.
What unfolds next is a series of bad-to-worse events that push Addy to her absolute physical and emotional limits. This action-packed ride over the edge succeeds on so many levels. Brilliantly introspective, Below is a horror fight song for every woman who has ever felt under a partner’s control. Highly recommended.
