A brilliant concept, deftly executed!” -- Neal Shusterman, New York Times bestselling author of the Arc of a Scythe series

“A refreshing tale with twists you’ll never see coming. Giles crafts an action-packed story, filled with both real-life and supernatural terrors. Ruin Road pulls your heartstrings tight and keeps you on your toes!” -- Erin E. Adams, author of Jackal

“From the first line, Ruin Road lets you know you’re in the hands of a master. The story moves with the knowing swagger of its main character, Cade Webster, fascinating, charismatic, and layered. With elements of Stephen King mixed with a double helping of that Giles magic that makes his work so unforgettable, Ruin Road is a mix of terror, heart, and intelligence, with a dash of social commentary. Giles is in peak form, and you don’t want to miss out!” -- Maurice Broaddus, author of Unfadeable
