That Night by Chevy Stevens



I have read many of Chevy Stevens books. Some I liked, some I did not. This one I ADORED.

I am not going to do a plot summary on this one. Well..not much of one anyway. This book is about Toni, who was convicted, along with her boyfriend, of murdering her sister on THAT NIGHT. Now Toni is out of jail. She is bitter, jaded, grieving her sister, still caring about her ex boyfriend and wanting justice for her sister. Whoever the killer is , it isn't her.

I really connected to this story. One of my pet peeves with some of Chevy Stevens books, is that I do not always connect with the characters. They were all drawn so well here. And it is hard not to get caught up in this story.

Toni, despite all her pain and damage, bitterness and cynicism, is a character I really enjoyed getting to know and I was rooting for her from the beginning. Her kind soul is evident from the start and it was painful to see the judgments formed against her. She is a character I still think about.

Of all Chevy Stephens books this is my favorite one by far. The atmosphere of the town was also strong and I could not put the book down.

I will say there is bullying in this book which could be a trigger for some so proceed with caution.

SPOILERS:

I did like some parts of the ending. A ray of light, a bit of sunshine in an oasis of darkness. It was a fitting end to an absolutely fantastic book. Five stars and highly recommended.
