A review by sjj169
The Nightly Disease by Max Booth III
2.0
Isaac is the night auditor at the God Damn Hotel in the middle of nowhere Texas. His nights are endless stretches of Netflix binges and masturbating on the roof of the hotel. Totally what I did when I worked as a night auditor. (You can tell this author really works in the hotel business-he cracked me up with these parts)
Then a new employee catches Isaac's attention. Mandy 2. She might be the one to fall in love with him since the Bulimic homeless girl hasn't realized her love for him yet. He starts talking to Mandy 2 and realizes that she might just have a weird owl fetish. She keeps rambling on about wanting to pet one and that she has an owl stalker.
Then he finds out that Mandy 2 has met her demise by owl. An owl ate her face off.
I HATE birds. I knew those bastards were creepy and this just confirmed it. So I'm still with the story.
Isaac seems to attract loonies. It happens to the best of us. He gets involved with a couple of shoe counterfeiters, drinks on the job with his bestie who works at the Other God Damn hotel and then the book takes a weird turn.
I admit I totally suck at reading bizarro, so I'm probably at fault with not liking the second half of this one.
Isaac starts to descend into crazy town.
Bodies are piling up. Blood and gore are everywhere. (I didn't hate this part. I'm not that much of a willy)...and the owls.
So I'm going with 3 stars for the first half of the book and 1 star for the second. I like this author though so I'm not done with him yet.
