After more than a decade, Maya returns to the hotel where she grew up … and promptly gets snowed in. Isolated and alone, she begins cracking up. Our does she?
I went into this, thinking it was psychological suspense. Shortly after I started it, I read other reviews describing it as horror – and I almost put it down. But it’s not *that* kind of horror. It’s sort of modern gothic horror: creepy and eerie but with minimal gore.
It reminded me a bit of Dead of Winter by Darcy Coates. But also not.
If you like a spine-tingler, read this book.
PS: The cat lives.
