I really loved this scary story, perfect for tween readers. Reminiscent of other ghost stories I read when I was that age!

To be honest this book confused me a lot. I liked the general plot of it and the mystery was exciting and different however the ending fell flat and was confusing/ rushed.

I thought it was going to be a cheesy children's book, but I very quickly became intrigued. The ending really surprised me.

I really enjoyed this novel. It was well written and suspenseful, full of twists and turns and just enough to send chills down your spine.

Quick read. More like 3.5 stars.
Middle grade horror spooky fiction about a girl, Quinn, who is traveling with her best friend’s family to their new home. Spoiler: Quinn is still dealing with the ongoing cold case that Her younger sister was abducted after school one day, and feels it is her fault.
A weird light Flashes and now the family make it to a weird inn and stay the night. Family members disappear and the girls are left behind trying to find out what is going on and how to reunite. I saw most of the ending coming, but not the specific open ended ness of the last couple pages or will she/won’t she?
Kinda dark topics for middle grade (while also being hot too dark) for a short book that doesn’t dive the deepest into really delving into: missing person, grief, learning disabilities, after life, etc.

This book was just okay for me. A sort of haunted hotel tale for the middle grade set, the book comes across as less scary/creepy and feels a little more sinister as the tale progresses. The result is something a little darker than it needs to be, but still with limited appeal outside of kids who like a good creepy tale.
