She begins to notice, though, that Fell has more than it’s share of disappearances, especially young women. She’s just so happy to be away from her family that the tiny town of Fell, and a night clerk job at the run down motel seems like a fine place. In the early 1980s, angry teenager Viv sets off for New York City, but lands in upstate New York. The Sun Down Motelby Simone St James blends ghostly revenge and family secrets with the creepy timelessness of a forgotten small town. So is the pullquote from Riley Sager, the author of the suspense thriller Lock Every Door. But this cover of the rundown motel, with its strangely appealing retro sign, is perfect. Definitely recommend it if you like mysteries, and if you are scared of ghosts, this one probably won’t give you the heebies too much.They say not to judge a book by its cover, and plenty of my author friends have been underwhelmed by proposed cover art. I read this book over a day, and it was a nice way to spend getting away from life. The ending wraps up nicely, and the characters are deep and complex.
I have to say that while I did see what was coming, the experience of the story was one I enjoyed a lot. To me, this book is not scary or creepy, but instead more like a mystery I had to solve. What is really interesting about this book is the comparison between the two women, how they are both smart and perceptive, but yet different in their response to what happens at the hotel.
The aunt speaks through a diary and the niece in first person, following in the footsteps of the woman who had disappeared. It’s the story of a haunted hotel, 2 journeys a woman and her niece, with the same experiences. I had seen a few people talking about this book and I had to get my hands on it to read it.
