A review by streberkatze
The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James

adventurous challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

There were a few lose ends that needed tying up, and
sending Viv Delaney to prison in the end felt like a morazing choice
. But these were minor issues compared to all the amazing elements of this book: the dual timeline (which worked particularly well in the audiobook version), and the super effective use of horror/supereatural elements. If you wanted the creepiness without the gore and don't want to choose between stong character development and suspense, this book is for you!
