Synopsis

'Incredibly scary and suspenseful' - Stephen King

How far would you go to protect the ones you love?

Life has never been easy for the three Campbell sisters. Jess, Courtney, and Dani live on a remote ranch where they work hard and try to stay out of the way of their father's temper. One night, a fight gets out of hand and the sisters are forced to go on the run, only to get caught in an even worse nightmare when their truck breaks down in a small town. As events spiral out of control they find themselves in a horrifying situation and are left with no choice but to change their names and create new lives.

Eighteen years later, they are still trying to forget what happened to them. But when one of the sisters goes missing, followed closely by her niece, they are pulled back into the past. And this time there's nowhere left to run...

Praise for That Night:

“Fast-paced and thought-provoking, That Night is a taut psychological thriller which skillfully explores bullying in its most terrifying forms. From the high school parking lot to the prison yard to a family’s own living room, That Night shows just how fast those closest to us can become our most brutal enemies.” –Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia

"Intense and disturbing - a terrific psychological thriller." –Lee Child

“Chevy Stevens has done it again, crafting a story fraught with suspense that weaves back and forth through time and keeps you guessing. A gripping tale of secrets, betrayal, heartbreak, and ultimately, redemption, That Night is an emotional rollercoaster you’ll be sorry to get off of when you finish the last page.” –Jennifer McMahon, New York Times Bestselling author of The One I Left Behind

“The writing is crisp and the dialogue realistic... Stevens has woven a warped psychological drama, a melancholy tale that comes to an existential and yet hopeful conclusion.” –Kirkus

“A compelling, exceptional read.” –Library Journal (starred review)

“Riveting...an exciting page-turner with an incisive twist.” –Publishers Weekly

“Stevens continues to captivate.” –RT Book Reviews (four stars)

Praise for Always Watching:

"In Always Watching, Chevy Stevens begins with a shivery premise ― a family ensnared by a religious cult led by a madman. Stevens lights that fuse and lets it burn all the way to an explosive ending. A chilling, compelling read." –William Landay, author of Defending Jacob

"Always Watching is a riveting examination of the power of childhood secrets over our past and our present selves. I couldn't put it down." –Alafair Burke, author of If You Were Here

"Chevy Stevens is in top form. Always Watching is a tense and twisty exploration of dark memories, hidden pasts, and a place that seems like heaven but might be hell. This is a deep and exciting novel, as unsettling as it is gripping." –Lisa Unger, author of Heartbroken

“Haunting and harrowing, Always Watching is a stunner, offering not only consuming suspense but also a moving tale of mothers and daughters, the lingering echoes of the past that never stop reverberating.” –Megan Abbott, author of Dare Me

“A fantastic, heart-pounding thriller that pulls you in from the first page. I loved it!” –Lisa Jackson, author of You Don’t Want to Know

"Always Watching grabbed me from page one. Its story of power, murder, and family secrets is seductive and sinister. Dr. Nadine Lavoie is a tenacious, compassionate heroine." –Meg Gardiner, author of Ransom River

“Taut and riveting, Always Watching follows the fault line between a person’s past and present ― and the terror and turmoil that can pull a life apart when they collide with the force of an earthquake. Chevy Stevens’ suspenseful, twisted story kept me up late into the night, frantically turning pages with white-knuckled fingers.” –Hilary Davidson, author of The Next One to Fall

“Chevy Stevens intelligently and relentlessly pulls the reader deeper into a nightmarish world while compelling you to read just one more page...” –Rosamund Lupton, author of Sister

“A harrowing tale of manipulation that got under my skin by the end of the first chapter...” --Linwood Barclay, author of Trust Your Eyes

Praise for Never Knowing:

"Block off the weekend, grab a comfy seat and prepare for the rocket ride of your life! Never Knowing will consume you with the desire to read every page, gasp at every twist and know every last secret between one woman and her serial killer father." ―Lisa Gardener, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love You More

"Never Knowing is a chilling thriller with enough twists and turns so every time I thought I knew where it was going I was taken somewhere else. I have a feeling that Chevy Stevens is an author who is going to keep getting better and better with each book! I hope I'm still around for the next six -- at which point she'll probably give me a heart attack. But what a great way to go out!" –Lois Duncan, author of I Know What You Did Last Summer.

“A terrifying, chilling scenario that unfolds into a nightmare and had me keeping the light on at night.” –Rosamund Lupton, bestselling author of Sister

"Stevens takes us on a wild ride in this action-packed book." –The Globe and Mail

"Stevens's unnerving stand-alone thriller about a woman's search for her birth parents matches the intensity of her impressive debut.... the skillful storytelling never flags." –Publishers Weekly

"As finely calculated in its escalating suspense as Stevens’ grueling debut." –Kirkus Reviews

"Stevens’ second novel is a knockout, starting strong and finishing even stronger." –RT Book Reviews

"The action is non-stop and the story flows without a bump." –Seattle Post Intelligencer
