Room 553 by Britney King
4.0
I wouldn't say this book is a suspense-thriller, maybe a mystery at best. I never found myself "on the edge of my seat" waiting to see what would happen next (in a suspenseful way that is).
However, King's writing style is something to be worshiped. This was my first book by her and I've already ordered all of her other available books. I'm currently starting, "The Secretary" and am hooked already. -side note
The last few chapters of Room 553 bring the whole story into perspective-and were the most enjoyable! There were no loose ends. Tied up perfectly.
Things I liked about this book: there wasn't pointless descriptions of rooms, houses, characters, etc (ex: the wallpaper was stained yellow and was beginning to peel at the edges), chapters were super short (easier to pay attention), the writing style.
Things I didn't like: the sex descriptions (I can do without, not my kind of reading, I loved 50 Shades of Grey but skipped over all those extra scenes) luckily those parts were short in Room 553.
Things I wished: I wish the book held more suspense/action, but I still enjoyed the storyline. There wasn't ever a time that I had to put the book down, or wanted to stop reading.
With all that, I gave this book 4 stars!
