I was in the mood for a creepy story set in a hotel, and when Hailey offered to send an ARC of this, I was maybe overly excited for it -- I started reading it within minutes of opening the email & didn't stop til it was finished! 😂
CRANBERRY COVE was exactly the kind of thing I was looking for! The hotel in this one felt almost like its own character, the environment inside it atmospherically sinister in a way that keeps the reader on edge constantly, never feeling safe. I liked the time spent away from the hotel too, especially later on in the story in a certain house... SO creepy!!
It's novella length, so on the shorter end of things, which is perfect if you're looking for something that'll pull you in quickly and keep you hooked until the end. Also, I loved the characters here!! Emberly and Conner had such a cute partnership, almost like Mulder & Scully - I kept thinking of that comparison while reading and it made me like them even more. I'd love reading a collection of stories about them and the different things they encounter together!
Hailey never misses for me - I've lost count of how many of her books I've read at this point, and I always love them. CRANBERRY COVE is definitely one of my new favorites!
