La premisa era buena. Hotel embrujado? Fantasmas? Dos POVs? I'm in! Tristemente creí que tendría más giros, más escenas de fantasmas y la historia sería rápida. No fue así. A ratos sentía la historia repetitiva y lenta. Te revelan al/la sospechos@ como a la mitad y la última mitad es solo ver cómo fue pero ya no hay sorpresa alguna.
En cuanto a la escritura, se me hizo algo pesada, a veces confusa y muuuuy descriptiva. (No soy fan). Creo que será mi única lectura de la autora :(

Okay so I took a bit to get into this book because I don’t do scary. Especially non YA scary. But a friend said it was good so I picked it up. I was slow to start cause, being honest, I was nervous I would scare myself. I don’t do scary!!! Yes, it was more thriller than scary — and oh am I glad she convinced me to read it. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering and trying to piece together the clues. I’m still A LOT people with who the heck Heather is but… yeah, good read!

This was one creepy, freaky book!

This is the story of a twenty year old girl named Carly, who decides she wants to find out what happened to her aunt, who disappeared thirty-five years ago. The aunt, named Viv, originally wanted to go to New York City in 1982 and become an actress, but while hitching a ride with a strange man, she finds herself stranded in a small town called Fell at The Sun Down Motel.

When a night clerk job at the motel lands in her lap, little does she know that she is being set smack dab in the middle of several mysterious murders that have happened in recent years. The motel holds several ghosts, all of whom have a story to tell, and Viv begins to unwind each one.

The novel switches back and forth between 1982 and 2017. There are several twists and turns that will keep readers turning pages. I really enjoyed it. 5 stars.

I loved that this story was told in two perspectives and timeliness. It was just creepy enough that I couldn't listen in the dark! I wish there would've been a little more going on with the ghosts but overall I liked it!
