Read if you like: hotel settings, shady pasts, Alfred Hitchcock movies, dark academia
Alfred invites his estranged college best friends to his new Hitchcock-themed hotel. He has a plan for revenge in mind.
I really wanted to love this. I love Hitchcock and the references were fun but I felt like I slogged through this book.
The characters were all very unlikeable and the central mysteries (and corresponding twists) just weren’t very interesting.
I would have loved to learn more about Alfred and his relationship with his mother but it didn’t end up going anywhere.
I feel like there were good ideas here, they just weren’t full executed.

An average read in my opinion, Kept me reading but I don't know why. Decent solution to the mystery and a good title with great cover art. But the concept, 6 college kids reunite for a weekend of intrigue and murder seems overdone. Again, good title and great cover art backed with an ok read. Just my opinion as always.
Dnf at 127pages. Thought it was building up but it was just dragging. Highly anticipated read based on the premise but it was sitting at a 3* read and I was finding it dull with characters who are unlikeable and I don't really care who lives or who dies.
