What Happened on Hicks Road

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A pulse-pounding new thriller from fan favourite author Hannah Jayne. When Sadie hits something in the road one night, she's determined to find what or who jumped in front of her car, even if it kills her.

Those eyes. Wide. Ice blue. A swath of blond hair illuminated in headlights. Then, blackness. Thump! "We hit something."

Lennox Oliver is loving her new life in California. For the first time, she feels normal. She has friends, a maybe boyfriend, and best of all, no one knows the truth about her past and what happened to her mum.

But everything changes the night after a party when a drive on the supposedly haunted Hicks Road turns deadly and Lennox hits something... or someone.

Her friends say it was nothing, at worst, a deer in the road. But Lennox can't shake the vision of the girl in the headlights—bloody hair, wide, terrified eyes, lips parted in a scream. When she goes out to investigate, there's a slight dent in the car, but that's it—no body, no blood.

Lennox wants to go to the police—but how can she? She shouldn't have been driving, and as her friends remind her, there's no evidence that she actually hit anything. All Lennox wants to do is go back to her boring, normal life. But when a note saying FIND ME is slipped through her window, she fears that there was a girl she hit on Hicks Road that night... or she's slipping deeper into the illness that took her mother.

About the Author

HANNAH JAYNE decided to be an author in the second grade. She couldn't spell and had terrible ideas, but she kept at it. Many (many) years-and nearly twenty books-later, she gets to live her dream and mainly does it in her pajamas. She lives with her rock-star husband, baby daughter, and their three overweight cats in the San Francisco Bay area. She is always on the lookout for a juicy mystery, an exciting story, or a great adventure. Visit hannahjschwartz.com.
