Jumia Books DON’T STOP: A Horror Hitchhiker Traumance Author: Lauren Biel

DON’T STOP by Lauren Biel is a chilling, genre-bending novella that fuses horror, thriller, and dark romance into a pulse-pounding ride through fear and forbidden attraction. Set against a backdrop of shadowy roads and neon-lit violence, the story follows a mysterious hitchhiker encounter that spirals into a psychological descent filled with masked figures, cryptic motives, and emotional chaos.

The masked characters—one wielding a bat, the other baring vulnerability—embody the duality of danger and desire. As the protagonist is pulled deeper into a web of trauma, obsession, and survival, the narrative explores themes of identity, control, and the seductive power of fear.

Lauren Biel’s signature style—raw, cinematic, and emotionally jagged—delivers a novella that’s as unsettling as it is addictive. DON’T STOP is ideal for readers who crave morally grey characters, high-stakes intimacy, and stories that push the boundaries of genre and comfort.
