Despite the haunting front cover and the subject matter within, "The Motel Room" is not a horror story. Alyssa Cooper delivers a wonderfully crafted short story about life, and how even the absence of life can be seen as beautiful.
A tragic accident has occurred, leaving a man's soul stuck inside the Motel Room where he and his wife used to spend their anniversary. Nobody can see him, so his days go by in a blur. Every day seeming just like the one before it. Through a series of events, he begins to discover his true power and realizes how freeing "living" without a body can truly be. He discovers happiness by abandoning his sadness and rediscovering the beauty that the world holds. Truly a heartbreaking tale about the journey of a soul!

I bought this book with zero expectations, and was surprised by how great the writing was.
Cooper did a fantastic job of giving me an ethereal experience. There's a bit of heartbreak, a bit of sadness, and a drive to read that I loved. It's a fast read, and is definitely one that makes me want to read more of hers in the future.
