What you need to know: ghosts, spooky, a sprinkle of feminism, multiple perspectives
************
I want to start by saying I am not a big horror fan. The Sun Down Motel, however, was the just creepy enough to keep me entertained but not so creepy that I needed to keep my lights on at night! After this, I am strongly considering picking up another Simone St. James book. Would you recommend any other of her books?

It's not a huge surprise when I tell you that SDM centers around an haunted, run-down hotel in the middle of Fell, New York. In the present day, Carly travels to the Sun Down to try to discover what happened to her long-lost aunt who was last seen working the night-shift at the Sun Down. While working the night-shift herself, Carly discovers that this tiny town was not as sleepy as it seemed. During the time her aunt Viv was living in Fell, there were a string on murders of young girls. Told between the perspectives of Carly and Viv, we slowly uncover who the murderer is and what really happened to Viv.
