I actually read Simone St. James� incredibly spooky ghost story—set in a creepy motel—in a rather drab hotel room and boy did it scare me! The tag line: The secrets lurking in a rundown motel ensnare a young woman, just as they did her aunt thirty-five years before...
This was such a great book. It features a hard to put down mystery with excellent characters and some downright terrifying scenes! The book is packed with twists and turns, and it's absolutely captivating.
The parallelism between Viv’s story—set in the 1980s—and her niece, Carly’s, in present-day, is excellent. I was so attached to these tough women and their stories. The 1980s piece really grabbed me; St. James really captures the era so well.
Highly recommend this mystery, which is out today, 2/18/2020!

This is coming up soon on a Kindle library download and now I'm truly anticipating.
What a setting to read this on! Loved this story.
Great review, Kristy! Such a great book. HA! You did read it in the perfect spot. Hope it didn't creep you out too much while you were staying there.

Yay! So glad you enjoyed this too! Fantastic review, Kristy! I was scared enough reading this in my house, so props to you for reading this in a hotel room!
