jhua000 's review for:

The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James
3.0

This was a fast read with dual timelines that sometimes felt repetitive but the reason why I didn’t give it a higher rating was because of the potential it had to be more intricate and suspenseful, using and explaining more of Heather’s and Nick’s stories (it would be a plus if they had something to do with the motel). There were also plot holes that irked me, the main one being, why Betty could kill Callum but not anyone else, like Simon for example. And if I hear one more time “traveling salesmen” in this decade, it’ll still be too soon.

However, the book had me hooked and it was fast paced. I also liked our main characters and the vibe of the haunted motel. So it was overall an enjoyable read.
