Thing that go bump in the night!

First things first - this was one of the most frightening books I’ve read in a very long time. I know, I can hear everyone’s snickers out there! But I just can’t handle horror. Paranormal scares the bejeebeezes out of me! And this book provided that in spades. Yet, I couldn’t put it down!

Told in two timelines.
1982: Viv left home at a young age to become the next shining star in New York. The problem was she never made it as far as the Big Apple. Instead, she found herself in Fell, New York. Just a minuscule dot on the map. With nearly no money, Viv takes the first and only job she finds. Tending the desk at the Sun Down Motel. Not exactly her Broadway dream.
Soon enough she discovers it’s not just her and the odd customers that frequent the place. There are occupants that awaken in the dark hours of the night! Is Viv safe tending the front desk of this spooky joint?

Present day: Carly has just walked away from College, as well as her only brother. She’s now in search of her long-lost Aunt Viv, who disappeared from the Sun Down Motel thirty five years ago. Oddly enough, Carly finds herself manning the same front desk her Aunt Viv did all those many years ago. And hello…it looks like those same haunting spirits have not gone anywhere!

Simone St. James writes a terrifying paranormal thriller that’ll have you reading with every possible light on in your house! At one point I had to stop for the night and wait to continue the next morning! (But that’s just this ‘ole faint-hearted reader).

A super spooky buddy read with Susanne!
