It got me excited and you can’t trust any of them because one has unreliable thoughts and one is a liar. Isn’t it dumb of Charlie to go on a ride with him despite of the campus warning to NEVER go with a stranger due to these killings?Ĭharlie and Josh played mind games.

She agrees to ride with the guy she met on the campus. It triggered her visual and auditory hallucinations due to her traumatic experiences. I was hoping for a different direction.Ĭharlie Jordan’s roommate, Maddie, was murdered by the so called “Campus Killer” and she feels guilty for not being a good friend to her. It has a lot of plot twist that I didn’t see coming but am I surprised? No. I have no issue on the writing style because it was great and the unreliable characters keep me on my toes even if her actions are dumb that you want to palmed your face hard. I was thrilled on the first part but its ending BADLY MESSED UP. Survive the Night left me with mixed feelings. I buddy read this book with my good friend Pam’s Shenangians –> Please subscribe to her Booktube Channel I received an ARC from Penguin Random House International in exchange for an honest review. In order to win, Charlie must do one thing–survive the night. What follows is a game of cat-and-mouse played out on night-shrouded roads and in neon-lit parking lots, during an age when the only call for help can be made on a pay phone and in a place where there’s nowhere to run. Is Josh truly dangerous? Or is Charlie’s suspicion merely a figment of her movie-fueled imagination? As they travel an empty highway in the dead of night, an increasingly worried Charlie begins to think she’s sharing a car with the Campus Killer. There’s something suspicious about Josh, from the holes in his story about his father to how he doesn’t seem to want Charlie to see inside the car’s trunk. Like the Hitchcock heroine she’s named after, Charlie has her doubts. For Josh, it’s to help care for his sick father. For Charlie, it’s guilt and grief over the murder of her best friend, who became the third victim of the man known as the Campus Killer. Both have good reasons for wanting to get away. They met at the campus ride board, each looking to share the long drive home to Ohio. Josh Baxter, the man behind the wheel, is a virtual stranger to Charlie. Bush is in the White House, Nirvana’s in the tape deck, and movie-obsessed college student Charlie Jordan is in a car with a man who might be a serial killer.
