I downloaded the Kindle
version of this story a few weeks ago when a friend posted the cover pic on
Pinterest. Of course, being an Okie, the
words 'I-35' and 'Oklahoma' sparked my curiosity and the blurb made it sound
exciting. The blurb was not wrong.
The story opens
with David, a twenty-something loser, waking up in the back seat of his car in
Minneapolis, far from his home in New York City. He has no idea how he got there and cannot
remember the past three days. The only clue
is a frantic and disturbing voice mail from his brother. David hasn't heard from Jim in years, but
he's family and David sets out down I-35, following sparse clues.
At a truck stop
in Oklahoma, he meets a strange young woman, Shawna, who seems to know all
about him and his past. She joins him in
his search for his brother.
The ending is a
total shocker. I won't post any spoilers
here because I'm not even sure I understood it.
I'll say that it reads like Nomar Knight's Darkness Roams. What starts out to be a psychological
thriller takes a strange turn into the supernatural.
This isn't for
everyone, especially the faint of heart, but it is a wild ride.
