I wanted to love this book. I should have loved this book. I tried to love this book. Everything about this book pointed to me loving this book. But, maybe my hopes were too high, because it just wasn't for me. It was interesting enough to finish, but a slog at times. (I fell asleep in the middle of chapters multiple times. That rarely happens for me.) I was expecting a big twist. The paranormal part of the book was weird. The ending made me think, "wait that's it?"

I'm bummed, but Sun Down Motel will forever remain one of my all time favorites.

Kept me very entertained, I don’t think I will continuously think about this book. Great book though!

Amazing as usual from St. James. I wanted more romance though. Also someone explain to me: can cipher be used as an adjective?? And if so what’s the definition. I think it was an editing mistake.
Overall enjoyed the book. Also women don’t kill violently. So that threw me off. I got over it. But it didn’t fit the story for me. Too much Criminal Minds in my head.

couldn’t put it down !

I don’t read paranormal / horror and I wouldn’t call this gore horror, I classify it as “cozy horror” but perfect for a weekend read, esp if you want to read a paranormal thriller but nothing extremely grotesque. Would be definitely reading more by this author.

Great supernatural thriller! Never fully expected where it was gonna go and it made for a fun read with some spooky moments.
