Road to Nowhere by Christopher Pike
5.0
Teresa Chafey decides to run away from home one rainy night. And just as she gets started on her journey, she picks up two strange hitchhikers Poppy Corn and Freedom Jack. To pass time on their journey (to where exactly...who knows?), Free (as he likes to be called) suggests that they pass the time telling stories. While Free and Poppy tell stories about close friends Candy and John, Teresa tells them her own story of heartbreak and betrayal. Teresa believes she's leaving all of troubles goodbye, but they may just be beginning.

Hanky Panky: First time sex in an eerie castle. I still remembered one of the book's lines from my childhood. "She had left her watch at the old hag's place, along with her virginity..."
Book Cover: This is one of my faves, AND it was this cover that got me to buy THIS BOOK, my first Christopher Pike book. After Road To Nowhere, I needed all of the others.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5. Fear Nerd says, "Check it out!"
Wow! This book holds up incredibly well, and I can see why I was immediately addicted to CPike as a youngster. It makes some Fear Street books feel like Goosebumps entries. Glad to hear that this book will be adapted in The Midnight Club series.
