Can your past cause you to see what isn’t there? What about a hotel in the middle of nowhere?
College Tour - Mira and Layla are on a road trip to visit some potential colleges when they get into a car accident in a small town
Creepy room - The only place they can stay is in a small hotel with a room that feels like it’s just a little creepy to Mira
Terror Past - She also sees her brother there, but he has been dead for over a year.

I had heard some really interesting things about this book and I did listen to it over the course of a day. It was thrilling and kept my attention. However there is a third character’s POV here which you sort of find out in the end who it is. But for me it didn’t feel like it was totally a definitive ending, but only one that was supposed to stay with you. And while I loved the rest of the story, due to that ending, it just didn’t have the impact I hoped it would.
