Chevy Stevens
As a teenager, Toni Murphy had a life full of typical adolescent complications: a boyfriend she adored, a younger sister she couldn't relate to, a strained relationship with her parents, and classmates who seemed hell-bent on making her life miserable. Things weren't easy, but Toni could never have predicted how horrific they would become until her younger sister was brutally murdered one summer night. Toni and her boyfriend, Ryan, were convicted of the murder and sent to prison.Now thirty-four, Toni, is out on parole and back in her hometown, struggling to adjust to a new life on the outside. Prison changed her, hardened her, and she's doing everything in her power to avoid violating her parole and going back. This means having absolutely no contact with Ryan, avoiding fellow parolees looking to pick fights, and steering clear of trouble in all its forms. But nothing is making that easy—not Ryan, who is convinced he can figure out the truth; not her mother, who doubts Toni's innocence; and certainly not the group of women who made Toni's life hell in high school and may have darker secrets than anyone realizes. No matter how hard she tries, ignoring her old life to start a new one is impossible. Before Toni can truly move on, she must risk everything to find out what really happened that night.But in That Night by Chevy Stevens, the truth might be the most terrifying thing of all.

"While I did enjoy this book, it took a bit to really get into it. Once I did tho, I couldn't put it down! I love it when I find a good Canadian author, I look forward to the future books Chevy will write."

"I really wanted to love this book, because I've loved Chevy Stevens's other books.. And I finished it in one day, so it's not that it was terrible. It was a good story, the sheriff was an unexpected twist. <br/>But it was almost like reading a book as a procedural. I know that sounds weird but I felt no emotional connection to any ofthe characters.<br/>I found Toni completely unsympathetic, I never really felt sorry for her or invested in her clearing her name. Part of it was the setup to the murder. You leave your sister in a truck in the woods alone at night so you can have sex with your boyfriend, then you let yourself fall asleep after he's fallen asleep? Made absolutely no sense. Why would you take your sister along if all you were planning was a quickie? Gross. <br/>So I kind of got where the mother was coming from at the end, feeling as if it still was partially Toni's fault. Although we never bonded with the mom either to understand her relationship with her daughters.<br/>Long story short, it was good, but not great."
