I read this is 1 sitting!

I'm still kind of shell shocked by it! 

Vague Summary:
A man has a dark connection to a motel room.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm dipping my toes into extreme horror, so I was a little nervous about what to expect from this book. It absolutely did NOT disappoint!

It left me disturbed and unsettled, but not disgusted and I was able to easily finish it. It definitely had the effect of a good horror movie! (I'm more knowledgeable about horror movies and more extreme horror movies than I am books)

If you want to be unsettled, disturbed, left feeling a little weird, and unsure what to do with yourself after reading, then this book is for you!

I've already saved book 2 on Kindle unlimited!

I have all of the words and none of the words, and I certainly cannot rate this book. Not because it was bad. It was actually quite good, but I just don’t know how I feel. And it has almost every trigger warning imaginable.
