The Drive
A typical American family on the verge of emotional collapse, take a vacation together to visit a secluded mountain Lodge resort in hopes of regaining the ties of a family bond that has been severed. Their holiday away to find each other soon becomes a struggle for their very survival when they are suddenly thrust into a wild and unpredictable land filled with unnatural and deadly threats at every turn. The question is no longer will they regain what they have lost from each other, but rather how will they survive, 'the drive'.

This started off quite stodgily. I thought I might have to give up but luckily I persevered because it opened up into the most amazing multi-layered story. The title might refer to the original drive out to the campsite or the drive to survive or even the drive to escape wherever they had found themselves with their lives. Brian's slow descent into almost madness at all that is thrown at him is tangible and my heart went out to his suffering.
After the initial slowness, the book took off and I found myself devouring page after page. So much so that I read it in two sittings. The Drive is a very cleverly written horror/suspense that gives far more than is initially obvious. It will appeal to anyone.

This wasn't at all what I expected (now that I've read it, not sure what I was expecting), but I was pleasantly surprised. I thought at the beginning that this was turning into a ripoff of Stephen King's novella The Mist, but then the story started taking its own original twists and turns. I found myself having lots of questions by the end and went back to read portions of it and having one of those "ohhh..." moments. Incredibly heartbreaking and suspenseful. Lots of imaginative details.

Couldn't put it down until the end, after reading the first paragraph. Very creepy yet odd!

I was expecting this book to be SOO much more different than it was… but I am not complaining in the slightest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"This is one of the best suspense novels I've read in a long time. Each page kept me wanting to read the next one and by the end I was so engrossed with the story and so involved with the characters that I was crying by the last page. Between 'the drive' and S.J. Johnson's other book 'Pages', this author is definitely on my watch list. I can't wait to see what she comes out with next!!"
