About this eBook
“Hold on tight. This is a terrifying and terrific book.” –Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Life has never been easy for the three Campbell sisters. Jess, Courtney, and Dani live on a remote ranch in Western Canada where they work hard and try to stay out of the way of their father's temper. One night, a fight gets out of hand and the sisters are forced to go on the run, only to get caught in an even worse nightmare when their truck breaks down in a small town. As events spiral out of control they find themselves in a horrifying situation and are left with no choice but to change their names and create new lives.
Eighteen years later, they are still trying to forget what happened that summer. But when one of the sisters goes missing, followed closely by her niece, they are pulled back into the past. And this time there's nowhere left to run.
With Those Girls Chevy Stevens presents her most visceral thriller yet: an unforgettable portrait of desperation, loyalty, and evil. A story of survival...and revenge.

Overall.. I found the book to be hard to put down but in a sick way. The main characters were well thought out and I loved them but the plot was very sick to me but at the same time I couldn't put it down. I love this auther, I love all her books. This one however, I didn't like as much. I had a sick feeling as I read it but had to know how it ended for the characters sake.. I would, 10 out of 10, would recommend Never Knowing but her. But not this one.

I don't even know where to begin. I have been a fan of Chevy Stevens since Still Missing. I have never missed a book, and I have loved them all, but this novel is on a totally new level. There are other reviews with brief summaries so I won't go there, but this novel contains the entire spectrum of what a family can experience, from the deepest love and loyalty to the most crushing abandonment and abuse. It is about both pain and survival. It is drama, mystery, love, hate, sacrifice, coming of age, and learning to live a life that you never dreamed you could. It is a novel for everyone, not just women. You will never regret ordering this book today, but you will lose sleep because you won't be able to put it down. It will stay with you long after the last page. I'm still in awe. Bravo!

This book was very disturbing. But I couldn't not finish it. I did love the characters, and the plot, until about halfway through. It went from believable to very unrealistic in my opinion. But it did have me in tears at the end.
