I’m not going to lie this starts out slow, but then you want to know what’s going on. The thing I liked best about this was probably the commentary on women, and women being murdered. I also liked the ghostly vibes. I really liked both Viv and carly oh also heather.

It's a horror book but that is not something quite evident from the blurb, at least that was the case for me. It is gripping. Initially, I find all the ghosts and paranormal activities creepy and I was scared but soon that was not the case.

This took forever to read, but that was because I have been working hard which has been putting me to sleep. This was an interesting read and didn't take me long to find out who the killer was, but some of the other twists it took a moment. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the history of what the author was creating. This for me was a slow build thrill, but I enjoyed the two perspectives and how both were figuring out the mystery of The Sun Down Motel. Liked this and would recommend.
