Review
Maggie and her best friend, Lisa, decide to head to South Padre Island for a normal Spring Break. Just because they battle demons and save the world on a regular basis doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be able to have some normal teenager time, right? Wrong!
On the way, on a dark and lonely highway, they run over a dead cow that is laying in the middle of the road. The fuel tank on Maggie’s Jeep is ripped open which leaves her and Lisa stranded in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, a nice cowboy drives by and gives them a lift to the nearest town to get some sleep and find a mechanic to tow her Jeep in the next day.
Once settled in Dulcina, TX, Maggie realizes that the cow she ran over isn’t the only animal that has been killed lately. Dogs, goats, calves, and now cows are being torn apart by unknown predators. Some people say its because of the drought and the coyotes getting more bold, but others say it is the el chupacabra - a creature with blood red eyes, scales on its back, and razor-sharp teeth.
As long as they are stuck there anyway, Maggie and Lisa decide they may as well see if they can figure out what is going on in the sleepy town. As they research the history of the town and meet some of its founding members, it becomes clear that the big “E” is at work again and this time Maggie needs the help of the “big gun” if they are going to make it out alive.
HIGHWAY TO HELL is just as good as the others in the series, but like HELL WEEK, it doesn’t have the same amount of humor as PROM DATES FROM HELL. Rosemary Clement-Moore did a great job of creating the side characters in Dulcina. She makes it so easy to picture the locals in your mind.
