Something hasn’t been right at the roadside Sun Down Motel for a very long time, and Carly Kirk is about to find out why in this chilling new novel from the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of The Broken Girls.
Upstate New York, 1982. Viv Delaney wants to move to New York City, and to help pay for it she takes a job as the night clerk at the Sun Down Motel in Fell, New York. But something isnʼt right at the motel, something haunting and scary.
Upstate New York, 2017. Carly Kirk has never been able to let go of the story of her aunt Viv, who mysteriously disappeared from the Sun Down before she was born. She decides to move to Fell and visit the motel, where she quickly learns that nothing has changed since 1982. And she soon finds herself ensnared in the same mysteries that claimed her aunt.
I really enjoyed [a:Simone St. James|4981568|Simone St. James|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1541540226p2/4981568.jpg]'s [b:The Broken Girls|35533431|The Broken Girls|Simone St. James|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1498686713l/35533431._SY75_.jpg|50481438], so I was pretty excited to receive this book in my January Book of the Month box.
The plot was pretty intriguing. It’s a mix of suspense with an eery ghost story as we follow the main character who’s trying to solve the mystery of her late Aunt’s disappearance back in 1982. As the story progresses, the suspense really built up and I was flying through the pages. I definitely wanted to learn more about the motel and how it related to all of the characters. I did however, feel like the ending was TOO tidy for the amount of suspense the book offered though, but don’t let that deter you from reading it! It’s a good (non-cheesy) ghost read for those who are a fan of the genre.
